Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Costly FOSS4Gs

And I believe that is happening, if I'm not wrong for the first time the LOC needs to provide expected cost of airfare and accommodation as part of their proposal, which will make people consider carefully that aspect too. Another aspect that was not cited but that I heard in conversations and believe is important, it's that it is really hard to compress the cost of a large conference: the LOC needs a place that can host 1000 people, and that can give internet to this many people, that places forces the catering package on you (I've been told by several conference chairs there no way to dodge that) and the two together make up for a large amount of the cost. So, besides some exceptions (think FOSDEM) it seems the only way to setup a cheaper conference is to make a smaller one that can be hosted at a university or in a smaller conference center. Hence the focus on the local conferences. I believe the threshold is at around 500 people, larger than that one is hung on the costly options.

So... what about reporting the size of the company among the other information, even if it is not the primary classifier?

It is right now implemented only for TTF fonts, in order to support QGIS font based symbols export (I believe you'll find it in 2.10.x, but I'm not 100% sure, going by memory here). The specification does not really say which symbol sets should support markIndex, or does it? All I can find is: "The alternative to a WellKnownName is an external mark format. The MarkIndex allows an individual mark in a mark archive to be selected. An example format for an external mark achive would be a TrueType font file, with MarkIndex being used to select an individual glyph from that file."

I was hoping to find an example ready to customize in the tutorial you're linking, but could not see it (I could also not find a full style to just cut/paste, is it by any chance available along with the sample data? I'd be curious to try that map out on a recent GeoServer). The main missing point in GeoServer SE support is raster symbolizer, the vector symbolization should mostly work. Hopefully it's going to get better with the interest the user community is showing for style export between QGIS and GeoServer (and for once, that will make for a use case meant for SE/SLD, that is, machine generation of the styles as opposed to manual editing).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GeoServer 2.9.0 Released
Hi Faustin, we are running GeoServer 2.9.0 on Java 8 exclusively, and if you want to play with it, there is also a demo server at http://demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/web/ that's running 2.9.x (the daily nightly build of that series) on Java 8. Do you have any logs reporting error messages? Did you have a previous version of GeoServer working, or is it the first time you try it?

What I'm trying to say is that Rasdaman CE should be evaluated for it own merits and selected based on them, instead of being compared with its commercial brother and rejected because we find it lacking in the comparison. Most projects graduated years ago with a lot less functionality that they have today, we should be more concerned by how useful the project is today and how well it can grow in the future. I also stress that whether or not "open core" projects are natural members of OSGeo, or not, is a separate topic, but at the same time very important one. There is a lot of articles about "open core" to read on the internet... I've tried to search "Open core is good" on Google to give it a "positive" slant, I cannot really say the result of the search agree on... positive :-p It could just well be that the proponents have not spent enough time writing about its benefits.

However I believe this discussion raise an important point, it does not make sense to talk about Rasdaman without qualification, it makes sense to talk about Rasdaman CE and Rasdaman Enterprise, any discussion about the abilities of the software, benchmarks and the like, should be properly qualified by the version of it. I agree OSGeo should be mostly concerned about the CE version, and how open it actually is. Like, if someone develops an extension to it that mimics some of the enterprise functionality, will it be welcomed in the project? That is the most important aspect, the "open core" model has a clear tendency to keep the core version limited to show better value in the paid for version, but the community around the core version should not be pressured to stay away from improvements that would hurt the money making brother of it. While we are on the topic, there are also gray areas in which this model tends to fall into, which can ruffle some feathers as well. Say someone develops an improvement for the core version that is competitive, to some level, with some functionality of the enterprise version, and the company decides to "donate" the equivalent code because it's better developed, better tested, faster, more scalable and so on. This tends to hurt feelings on both sides, the community developer may feel walked over, his/her code dumped in the thrash, the company may feel like it's been held hostage of some ransom, by having to donate its superior code over the lower quality one offered by the community (of course, it could be the case that the community offers something better, but if that point is reached, the death bell is probably starting to sing for the open core approach). To some extend that's unavoidable I'm afraid, but I believe that OSGeo should at least be concerned that the community version is treated like a full open source project and everybody feels empowered to pitch into it according to their needs and abilities. Then there is another topic of discussion, which is whether OSGeo agrees with a dual licensing model to start with, given the obvious tension that it generates between a open community and the company benefiting from it. Peter cites the need to make a honest living doing open source, and the open core module as a way to reach that objective. As a long time open source developer involved in single licence software I never felt like I was underpaid or mistreated, even when I have clear vision of companies making money off work that sometimes I did over holidays... I simply knew what I was getting myself into, and what the consequences of an open license are. That said, I do appreciate that people want to get an honest living and work in open source at the same time, it's simply too good of an opportunity to miss.

As such, I'm wondering if the decision should not be made by consulting directly all charter members, to check if today's OSGeo is in agreement with such a direction? A list discussion on list is good to allow pros and cons to be discussed, but tends to favor the more vocal people, leaving the "general opinion" largely unknown.

My normal work environment requires me to work for 2-5 different customers a day spanning from training, spec-ing and designing new modules/applications, meetings, and actual development, along with answering questions from my colleagues on other activities, often unrelated to the ones that I'm in charge of. During a typical open source code sprint I'm focused on a single activity all day instead. To be clear, I'm not complaining, if my daily work was single activity I'd walk away out of boredom, what keeps the typical code sprint engaging is also that we normally take on activity that seem hard to fit in the allowed time, and thus require some extras in terms of concentration and inventiveness to actually get completed :-p I'd say the recipe for a typical successful open source code sprint is: * Several developers in the same room, that are normally working from remote in different time zones * An ambitious objective (not so large/difficult that it's impossible to complete, but enough that you cannot relax and finish it anyways) * Typically, full day experience (e.g., we have lunch and dinner together too) * Coffee... lots of it :-p Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!

Before pull requests we used to add a "patch by xyz" in the commit message to give credit to the actual author. I looked at the year right before the github switch, there are 4 commits like that in total (I searched for just "by" to make sure not to skip stuff written with slight differences). If I look at the last year and ask for a contributor count I get: > git shortlog -nsu --since "one year ago" | wc -l 84 Github tells me there are 34 developers with direct commit access, but I checked who made a commit in the last year. we are down to only 24 people. Sometimes devs commit from another computer and they don't have their mail setup, which makes for a two lines in that statistic, one with the username, one with the mail e.g. in that list we have for example Mauro listed twice (and so is mine): 27 Mauro Bartolomeoli 24 mbarto So that reduces the number of actual unique contributorsq a bit, let's say down to 75-80... it's still 50 random people contributing to GeoServer without commit access in the last year, or, in other words, 10 times more external contributions compared to before the switch to Github. The thing is, we still have patches in the bug tracker that are a few years old, and they will likely never be merged: when they came in they probably were either dirty, or core devs were too busy, and after a few months applying them becomes rather challenging, so there they stay: the merge barrier was too high, too domanding on the core devs. With the current pull request mechanism we have a much improved ability to handle contributions, in part because people are reminded of the contribution rules the moment they make the pull request, in part because the build servers inform the submitter about a problem in the pull request rather quickly, but also because we can comment in a more social way about the pull request (before reviewing the patch was a one man job), and also because they are always nicely grouped and in front of our eyes at every PSC meeting (we check the pull request queue like that every two weeks, to see if there is anything that merits special attention). > > I'm not trying to negate the possible benefits in terms of number > of contributors, but I'd be careful about the correctess of available > data. > > > There is another benefit of moving to Github, which is build checks on > pull > > requests, > > Yes, this is something we unfortunately lost on OSGeo. > We used to have buildbot running to that extent, but lack of volunteers > made that experience come to an end. > Mind, here I'm talking about a special integration, not the normal continuous build for commits that are integrated, but a custom build for the pull request, which tells you whether or not merging that pull request will break the build (to clarify, by build I mean both compiling and running all automated tests save for OGC CITE compliance ones). The pull request build status, along with an indication if the patch is mergeable, and possibly an indication of whether the test coverage went up or down, is a huge time saver. If a review of the patch is satisfying, the build give us the green, we can literally just press the merge button, thank the contributor, and move on with our work/live, instead of spending time trying to apply while the code moved, build, go back and forth with the committer in a rather inefficient way (and manually run build/tests every damn time), and so on.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo guidelines for code hosting ?
Hi, just wanted to chime in saying that if OSGeo starts setting said guidelines, it should also have some benefits comparison so that projects can see what they might not get by avoiding Github. In particular, looking at GeoServer experience from the switch, it's rather evident we got more people contributing right the moment we did the switch, here is the contributors per month diagram, the red line is the date we switched from svn to GitHub: [image: Inline image 1] Most of this is due to two factors: - availability of pull requests (which I believe you can get with other tools too) - critical mass on the platform (which arguably you will not get an a OsGeo hosting) There is however a downside of that, most of these contributions are "one time gigs", people help addressing the particular pitfall concerning them and then they move on: github did not change the number of core developers, it just increased a lot the number of other contributors. There is another benefit of moving to Github, which is build checks on pull requests, we now have Travis (Linux, OSX) building all pull requests and running the test suite against them, so we instantly know if the change breaks tests or not, and we planning on adding test coverage checks (Coveralls, already used by OpenLayers for example) and Windows builds (already used by MapServer for example). This kind of automation is also rather beneficial to filter our bad contributions... which is the dark side of lower contribution barrier, core devs have to spend quite some time evaluating pull requests... but ending up with a long queue of them gives a bad impression about the project openness. So yeah, another bit to consider I guess, is the project ready to take on them? So I'm not saying "everybody move to github" but I believe the above should be part of the many considerations made when evaluating a move to a different version control.

Eventually Jody managed to wrangle volunteers at a code sprint, got every single file checked/fixed/reported, and voilà, shortly after we passed graduation. Other foundations have a dedicated team to do IP reviews, but those are paid staff, not sure OSGeo can afford that... on the other side, every project with a large code base will have a hard time putting aside the time to go though every single file to check for IP violations.

I'd suggest, just a reminder that the level of written English can vary a lot, ranging from cases where the lack of fluency is evident, to cases where the sentence seems just too direct/rude, so generally speaking, it's a good idea to try and be patient and understanding. Sometimes I wish there was a guide of typical expectations/orientations varying culture by culture, to try and understand better where people are coming from and put what they say in context (this example might be wrong or just a silly generalizations, but just to give you an idea, I've heard Japanese normally won't say no in a conversation, you have to figure it out, and other cultures surely have their "surprising" traits as well).

[OSGeo-Discuss] Java GIS developers: a new open source project to speed-up map rendering
Hi, I wanted to point out some new work being developed in open source to speed up Java map drawing, the Marlin renderer: https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-renderer The renderer is an improved version of the Pisces renderer found in the OpenJDK builds, which provides significant speed up over Pisces, and significant scalability benefits over Ductus, the closed source rasterizer included in the Oracle JDK binary builds. I believe this to be of interest of anyone running/developing Java GIS applications against OpenJDK, and of anyone doing multi-threaded map rendering against any JDK (examples coming to mind, DeeGree and uDig). So, I invite you to give it a spin and report back, we also have a mailing list to share experiences and coordinate development here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/marlin-renderer Here are some benchmark results for the specific case of GeoServer to wet your appetite: http://geo-solutions.blogspot.it/2014/02/geoserver-improved-scalability.html Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Would you be concerned if the "GeoServices REST API" became an OGC standard?
All, I've followed this thread with interest, thanks for the insightful discussion. If I can spare my 2 cents, is that the OGC specifications are complex enough already, with differences in behavior in the various versions, that adding another set of competing standards is just going to increase confusion quite a bit, diluting the OGC position as a "reference" for standards to a point of no return. Several of the ideas in the REST GeoServices are good, yes, there is demand for REST geoservices, and yes, JSON is popular, yet, especially from the point of view of someone that participates to open source communities, it's sort of unbelievable that someone can come and impose something to be a standard as-is, no questions asked. It's ok for it to be a starting point, but to be something that is embraced at large it should be allowed to be pruned and modified to everybody's satisfaction. Also, I'm not sure here, but not building on top of the existing standards it will likely introduce new terminology, making it harder to talk about the services in a way that makes people understand each other. Adding a REST service on top of existing standards, such as WFS (as a new network binding) and GeoJSON would likely lower this risk significantly. About implementing it or not, I cannot speak for the GeoServer PSC, but we are normally open and pragmatic, so I doubt that if someone comes up with an implementation of the ESRI GeoServervices API we'd refuse it, and if it gets enough traction, it might well enter the core functionality. It's more about someone contributing the code, and the overall user community showing appreciation for it, than making a political statement.

A request that would get you the result you want might be (mind, not tested, and using some GeoServer specific extensions for easier filtering): http://host/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&resultType=hits&CQL_FILTER=INTERSECTS(the_geom, POINT(lat, lon)) Mind, since the above is using WFS 1.1 the coordinates will have to be entered in lat/lon order, whilst the_geom is the name of the geometry attribute for shapefiles in GeoServer, if you are loading into a database check what is the actual geometry column name there) Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!

It would be sad if we started seeing sorts of "mass voting" against a nomination thread, mostly because it would look a lot like a political election (my idea of the Soul Katz Award is that OSGeo is looking for an excellence which is not necessarily the one of just being popular, thought of course strong commitment in the community has that "side effect") However... maybe someone should push the OSGeo community to send private nominations more?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 5 Star OSGeo project maturity rating
Cameron Shorter ha scritto: For the OSGeo LiveDVD and OSGeo marketing material, I propose we use a 5 star maturity rating. This is because it is too difficult to explain in a couple of words, the difference between: "Graduated", "In Incubation", "Stable", "Beta" Again, I'm interested to hear comments on whether I have defined a good rating system, before we set it in stone. A rating system, imho, should take into consideration multiple vectors: - does the project have a long history? - how big is the developers community (e.g. number of active committers in the last year) - what are the steps taken to keep the code base quality high (unit tests, nightly builds, code reviews, and so on) - how diversified is the developer community (are all developers affiliated to a single entity, or distributed among many? What is the bus factor in terms of companies) - how live the development is (e.g., number of commits/changed files/ size of the diff between today and one year ago) - how big is the user community (e.g., nummber of subscribers to the users list) - does it have user documentation - does it have developer documentation - does it have stable/frequent releases - has it been awarded OSGEO project status, is it in incubation? These (and others) could be assigned some score, and then you could sum them and get to an overall score. Some elements could have a weight higher than others to accomodate for relative importance (e.g., part of OSGEO could be weighted higher than the other items).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Demo WMS server

I'd like to have some kind of demo server that could be configured in the software by default so that people have a working configuration directly after install which makes it easier for them to get going.

It should be something with a reasonable chance that it will be around for a while. I could imagine that other people have the same problem. How about having such a WMS server on a OSGeo host somewhere? I don't expect a huge amount of load on such a server, its just for demo and not for actual use, really. What do you think about this? I don't have access to any OSGeo hosts, but would be willing to help with the setup.

One question I'm left with is are there any OSGEO developers who are doing this just for the fun and fame? I know that a lot of us have fun developing but everyone I could think of (GeoTools, GeoServer, uDig) gets paid to have that fun. My first few years of Geotools were completely unpaid: wake up at 5, worth though the weekends, to get it to work enough for my students at the uni to use (so in a sense there was a "work" purpose, but I was barely paid just for the hours spent in the classroom and nobody pushed for them use an open source library). Today I'm paid to work on GeoTools/GeoServer, but I still put in weekends time so there is still an unpaid portion. I don't think it can really go away: paid stuff is directed by company/customer needs /plans, on the spare time you do what you feel is good/necessary/fun instead. I don't believe you can really be "involved" if you don't have that kind of passion, yes, one can just "work" in an OS project, but it's not really the same thing as real involvement.

I think one challenge is to get people who have funded time to work on specific features into broader involvement with the projects and OSGeo in general. I believe the idea that OSGEO projects contributor tend to be paid to work on the project itself is the result the very selection criteria to become an OSGEO project: - mature project - established user base - a formal governance model This tells me the project has lots of contributors, lots of people that have a stake on it, a big enough user base that the possibility of funding is no more a pipe dream but a solid reality. Such a project by its very nature will tend to attract more people that can find funding to work on the project itself. Also, being estabilshed, it will have some barriers to entry in terms of the code base size and complexity itself, and QA processes that will make it harder to just look at the project for a weekend, cook up something, give it back and disappear.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] WMS Performance Shootout presentation/results
Craig Miller ha scritto: I agree wholeheartedly. It looks like the bottleneck was the database. I’ve been privy to some MapServer tests done by testing teams over several months and the result there was always deploying the data with long update cycles to the middle tier disks instead of using the database. Only then could the performance of the actual map servers be evaluated. Performance shootouts/testing take time to do correctly as each run teaches you more and more about how your deployment architecture affects the results. Actually running the benchmarks it looked the CPU was the bottleneck, we had 25% cpu load in the single test (so 100% of the one CPU used by that test, out of the 4 available) and during the higher loads the CPU usage was jumping between 80% and 100% (so almost all 4 cpu maxed out). The database server was hardly using more than 25-30% of its CPU and the network shouldn't have played the bottleneck either (past experience suggests it takes a tilecache to actually turn a 100Mbit line into a bottlenek), thought we don't have numbers for that During the benchmark I had very little time to run profilers, but the few times I've tried in GeoServer the time seemed to be splitted quite equally between data fetching, actual drawing, and output image encoding... which is kind of the worst thing you can get out of a profile run, since it does not point to any culprit. Getting a profile out of MapServer is surely going to be interesting, the codebase is smaller and there is no garbage collection going on so the results should be clearer.

I would be interested in the rendering speed of differently sized images and where the sweet spot is for a particular engine in size vs rendering speed. I did find the description of source data. Also any thing related to reprojection of rasters on the fly? The size of the images is randomized but "big" (in the 1024x768 ballpark). There is no raster reprojection. We won't change the tests definitions at this point, our current problem is to reduce the amount of results we'll present (we have too many already), but we hope to turn this exercise into a "classic" that might be run even other times during the year (this one is just a personal idea) so Are the Live Benchmarks links going to be the same for the duration of the competition? We want to keep a low profile and not divulge results up until the presentation, so no, no links :-) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The thing is, that's already there, and it's not working all that great for what I can see. The elements I listed in a previous mail (per item discussion, peer evaluation, categories and the like) seem like the turning point that makes the user community going. Put another way, have you ever heard of a wiki style site that collects KDE apps? Maybe it was tried out, but what's really working out there is the http://www.kde-apps.org/ format instead. I've tried to contact those guys but I got no response so far so... it seems I won't be able to just leverage their platform after all :( Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Moskovitz, Bob ha scritto: It would be great if geological symbols that can be found in http://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/2006/11A02 can be considered. Well, no matter what the technical solution adopted is going to be, the key is that the site contents should be totally user driven, much alike wikipedia, not a set of symbols chosen by a committee. So the question about a symbol set being "considered" would not really stand up, if you'd care to point people to them you'd just have to register to the site and add a pointer to them or upload the symbols directly there if the license allows it. I know this would eventually mean some bad content gets into the site, and that's why peer ranking and item related discussions are important, if enough people get interested in the site (if we reach a critical mass) then good content will stand up by itself.

RAVI KUMAR ha scritto: Hi, symbology is of particular significance for Geologists. Orientation (Rotation) of symbols and labelling through attribute table are essential. OpenJUMP user list has made great contribution towards this. Wish to know if any other Open GIS has similar resources. Any software using SLD should be able to rotate symbols, at least point ones. GeoServer does for example, I think MapServer does too. But maybe you're not referring to simple points? Can you provide more details?

Olivier ERTZ ha scritto: Hi, while you read my little answer, just imagine a big smile on my face, because what you describe in your call is something that really motivates me. I was currently doing a kind of same investigation, and Osmarender, Kosmos, MassGIS Wiki on SLD, ... could all be added to your starting list, and I came to the same conclusions : having a symbology and styling platform to share would be great, and I sign up with two hands. So, I'm ready to help in building a wiki page to write the specification of such a platform. Well, personally I don't have much time, but the idea is engaging. What I would like to see in such a platform is: - easy to get into it.

If there is no dedicated team to build a new site going to that platform seems a good way to test out the concept with little investment. The one thing I don't like much about kde-looks.org platform is that I don't understand well its licensing issues, if any, and the fact that a map styling site would be better owned by OSGEO. But in the end, I'd prefer to see one site with some chance of success despite some issues, that a lengthly discussion about tools, people that want to make them up with different technologies, and end up with nothing done because all the energy is lost in discussion, if you know what I mean. I'm more of looking for technologies that provide all of the above (or most of the above) out of the box and see what comes out by comparing them. Of course, OSGeo_map_symbol_set is then to be taken in consideration, and for sure people who wrote this wiki page will feel concerned... I don't believe there should be any concern... the page can get its representation in a such a community based site, or be an alternative to it.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Symbology/styles exchange
Hi, lately I was looking around for places where sample map styles, sample map symbols, and public discussions (forums/ml) about the topic of map making on web/desktop platforms. I've found something around, like the MapServer symbology exchange, or the italian OSGEO chapter site collecting some free SVG symbols. And some discussions as well, but sprinkled over various mailing list as part of a different main topic. The scenario is somewhat discouraging, and I was thinking of ways to improve the situation, have more users exchange, discuss and participate in a community of electonic map makers. What I have in mind is a platform like gnome-look.org allowing everyone to post and share their work, organize it in categories, have other people vote and comment/discuss Examples: - map symbols - map styles, be it SLD, mapfiles, mapnik config file, ESRI projects (why not?) - data itself, be it real downloadable data, or pointers to sites where the data is available Here are some user stories I have in mind for such a site: - a user has made a map is proud of. He posts on the site a screenshot of the map, the style used to create it, and the license under which the style is distributed. Other people can comment, eventually show how the same map can be created using a different GIS system - maybe the above map contains self made symbols (SVG, TTF, MapServer symbols, ...) that can be published in a map symbol sharing area of the same site - the same map is done using some data, maybe the data can be shared, or the map has been produced over some well known free data set. This would help others make the same map with another system, or take the initial map and propose variations/improvements on top of it Adding a forum where people can discuss about map making would be good as well. This would be in competition with the various support forums of the existing projects, so it has to provide something more than the existing ml do not provide. What that is, is comparisons between different products, approaches to make maps: that would break the user communities silos and stimulate some lively exchange on the merits of each platform (yeah that may degenerate sometimes, but I believe most of the times it would be healthy and very interesting for users and developers alike). How to pull something like this off? Well, it would be nice if gnome-look (as the site code) was open source, thought as of now I haven't found any indication of the code being available. The forum could be the usual php-bb or something like that. Maybe the above are not 100% suited to the task at hand, but it would be an easy start to see if the idea has merit and can pull togheter a community of users. Does anybody have suggestions on existing software platforms that could be used to put togheter such a site? Soo... wondering what other people think about this? I would be willing to put some of my time on this, but I'm already quite busy with other stuff in GeoServer/GeoTools land so I'm wondering if there is anybody else interested in such a thing?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Time window request on OGC protocol?
Domenico Febbo ha scritto: Hi all, maybe it is a very newbies' question: I need to implement a Web Service based on GML that accept a XML request with two main things consist of: 1) WGS84 coordinates for a geographical area 2) the timeframe (start time and stop time) used to query to the geodatabase historical data. It was very usefull (for me) to implement a web service over the WFS protocol or other OGC standard protol, but I didin't found a clear solution. WFS does not have a TIME parameter like WMS has, yet you can just publish the time attributes as part of your feature type, and create an OGC filter in your WFS request to filter upon them. For the details, I suggest you have a look at the WFS 1.0 specification and at the Filter 1.0 specification (available at the OGC site), they are a dry read but should allow you to setup the request you're looking for.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Origins Of OpenJUMP
Richard Greenwood ha scritto: Landon, Thanks for taking the time to provide the detailed background on on the Jump family tree. Seems to me like the Java 'tribe' is a bit more fractured than the C 'tribe'. I guess it can't be helped... the C tribe has usually one way of doing things, that is, keep everything very simple and straight. The language being quite unforgiving, you have no room for fancy implementations. The same unforgiveness pushes people togheter: writing a working implementation (one that does the job without segfaults) it's hard, so the idea of redoing stuff in a way you like better is probably considered completely foolish. Or maybe it's just my narrow view of the subject coming from a Java programmer that escaped C because it was just too darn hard to code using C tools ;) Cheers Andrea ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Paul Ramsey ha scritto: You are thinking the developers are working for you, the user, but they aren't. They are working for themselves and their employers, and they have perfectly good reasons to keep working on what they want to work on. You, the freeloading user, are incidental to the process. I wouldn't be able to say it better. We open source developers do develop for the pleasure of developing in the first place. To "scratch an itch" they say. User come after that. This is not to say they are irrelevant, on the contrary. They provide feedback, useful insights, ideas, and not less important, a good user base is good for your karma and your pride too. Despite that, user must first and foremost understand they are not the driver. Pleasure in development, discovery, exploration, sharing experiences with other developers and so on, that's the driver. Merging with another community? It may work, provided the fun does not go away. If there is a split chance of turning that into a boring work, the merger likeliness is absolutely zero.
