Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Relationship between Telascience and the OSGeo

Amazon perhaps. Google might find it cuts a little too close to the bone. Chris, have you approached the AWS folks about hosting OAM? It's a little more involved than just data storage, they'd also need to provide a couple EC2 instances to receive and process the new data, but it would remove the

[OSGeo-Discuss] Toronto Code Sprint

The 2009 Toronto Code Sprint is now set for March 7-10 at the Bond Place Hotel in Toronto, Canada. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Toronto_Code_Sprint_2009 We hope you will consider joining us for a worthy weekend of sprinting and getting connected. We are now looking for sponsors to cover venue

[OSGeo-Discuss] Toronto Code Sprint 2009

All, We are looking to have a code sprint in Toronto in mid-winter (not Italy in the springtime, but that's just how we roll up here in the Great White North). We are looking particularly at trying to bring C tribe members together, though other tribes are welcome to crash the party too.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Raster data on RDBMS

The data is chunked in Oracle into tiles, so unless you tile the TIFF as well you aren't really doing a direct comparison. Even if you end up with the same numbers for both processes, I'll still be impressed, since I assumed Oracle would have a higher overhead. P. On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 9:54

It's not a given. Those of us with young families back home are under a certain pressure to get back to the nest. For every example, there is a counter-example. :) P. On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 10:15 PM, Erik Uzureau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: in the event that it's not already completely clear from

[OSGeo-Discuss] Learning from FOSS4G

Folks from FOSS4G You've probably filled out some forms (maybe), and the organizers are going to be filling out their lessons learned pages, but I think it would be great to get some informal feedback that future organizers can use to avoid pitfalls and repeat slam dunks in future events. I've

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Code Sprint: How Much?

I've been thinking about something similar to the Bolsena event in North America, but it's hard to work out a scheme that will be productive, given the geographic dispersal of folks. I think a C tribe sprint would be excellent, but we're pretty spread out (though biased towards Ottawa / Quebec).

[OSGeo-Discuss] C++ Expert Wanted (GEOS)

I have a client who desperately wants to clean some memory leaks out of GEOS in a relatively short time frame. If you have enough C++ chops to wrestle with the GEOS code base (warning, non-trivial and not exactly a french garden) and some time over the next few weeks, let me know. Paul

[OSGeo-Discuss] Code Sprint: How Much?

Everyone loves a good code sprint... or do they? 2007 brought you the one-day sprint (with the GeoToolsers and uDiggers going for an extended weekend sprint). 2008 brings you another day. 2009 is still thinking about it. How much sprinting would you do? 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 days? I am wondering if the

[OSGeo-Discuss] This List

Is, anywhere on the main web page, prominent mention made that basically all important announcements end up on this list (but not necessarily in the web site news feed, for example)? At lists.osgeo.org, this (very important) list is one among many many. Ah, I see there is: Main - Getting Started

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] This List

OK, I take it back, news_item appears to be working. More to the point, discuss@ is referred to as sort of a tribune of the people on occasion (let's ask discuss!) when really it's sort of a private club. P. On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 8:24 AM, Frank Warmerdam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul Ramsey
