[OSGeo-Discuss] OpenLayers 3 Funding effort: status
Dear OpenLayers Community, Dear OSGeo Community, I'm quite happy to announce that more than 300K USD have been promised in order to finance the development of OpenLayers 3. 119 funders (private, companies, administrations) have participated to this effort. Thanks a lot to all funders !!! Thanks also to all persons who helped to reach this objective. Currently, the OpenLayers PSC members and committers are working in order to exactly define the goals of the first release of OpenLayers 3 which will be delivered in March 2013. We are still looking for additional funders, so don't hesitate to contact ol3-fund...@googlegroups.com . Best regards and merry christmas !

You find further information about the code sprint here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Lausanne_Code_Sprint_2011 Best regards, Cédric On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 2:58 PM, Claude Philipona claude.philip...@camptocamp.com wrote: Hi, We are glad to announce a one week code sprint focusing on Mobile JavaScript that will take place in Lausanne - EPFL - Switzerland (http://map.geo.admin.ch/?crosshair=bowlzoom=6X=152455Y=533175) on Monday-Friday February 21-25, 2011. The code sprint focus will be the Mobile JavaScript development. The main goal is to work on OpenLayers and extend its capabilities to support mobile devices. The second goal is to evaluate Mobile JavaScript libraries, like Sencha Touch or JQuery Mobile and begin creating bridges to these libraries, similar to the way that GeoExt connects OpenLayers and Ext. The content of the code sprint will be openly discussed on the OpenLayers community mailing lists, and we are sure that the work started in February in Europe will continue at the Montreal code sprint in March. The following developers have already confirmed their attendance: Christopher Schmidt, Tim Schaub, Eric Lemoine, Andreas Hocevar, Frédéric Junod, Bart van den Eijnden, Bruno Binet and Pierre Giraud. It would be a pleasure to welcome other developers or users willing to support this effort in the Mobile development, so don't hesitate to contact the organizers for further information. The code sprint is sponsored by the following administrations, universities and companies: Canton of Zürich, Canton of Neuchâtel, City of Uster, City of Vevey, Geoportail Luxembourg, EPFL, Swisstopo, OpenGeo, Nokia and Camptocamp. The code sprint is organized by Camptocamp and Swisstopo. We look forward to a great code sprint and don't forget that Switzerland is a very nice place to ski! A ski event will probably be organized before or after the code sprint. And finally, we also thank all the sponsors for their support !

Anyone interested to step forward for Openlayers, Mapfish or MabBender? What should be compared between web clients? Think of the target audience for such a comparison being a software developer trying to decide which webmapping framework to use. What would be the questions they ask? Off the top of my head: * What browsers are supported/tested against for each stable release? * How responsive is the application? ** How large is the javascript which needs to be downloaded to the browser? ** * What basemaps are supported ** Google Maps, WMS, WFS, ... * What tools are supported? ** Pan/Zoom/Edit Feature ...

Further, I'm expecting to incorporate results onto the LiveDVD. They will be a lot of effort to prepare, partly because they will need a team of project developers to contribute to it, and consequently, unless we get our act together soon, I suspect that no-one will submit presentations for some of the topics above. So I encourage people to respond to the following targeted email threads, noting your intention to help and be part of one of the presentation teams. (Note, the presentation will be the easy bit, the hard bit will be collating the material for the presentation). A good team for these comparison projects will consist of: * a representative from each project in the comparison. These types of comparisons will be the first place new users will go when researching software, so are well worth participating in. * users who have used more than one of the applications * anyone involved in related comparison reviews, or development of feature tables or similar * coordinator/get it done people who can pull it all together * people who can speak well, and efficiently.

[OSGeo-Discuss] www.openaddresses.org BETA launched
Hello, Do you dream of free and open geolocated addresses ? or free and open geocoding and reverse geocoding services ? It's not a dream anymore, it's a reality ! After www.openaddresses.ch and www.openaddresses.at, www.openaddresses.org has been launched to collect worldwide localized addresses. This initiative of several people, universities and companies of central Europe aims to provide a web portail for the management of free and open addresses. The goal of www.openaddresses.org is also to collaborate nicely with www.openstreetmap.org by exchanging data. However, since localized addresses are very specific, we consider that it is appropriate to have a dedicated platform only for addresses. Don't hesitate to add your own address, the address of your friends and of the friends of your friends ;-) If you'd like to be part of this effort, you can also provide address listing, orthophoto or whatever data that can be useful. We are also looking for persons willing to participate to the development, the translation, the system administration, the testing, the communication and so on ... You'll find more information in the following documents: - Frequently asked questionshttp://code.google.com/p/openaddresses/wiki/FAQ - User guide http://code.google.com/p/openaddresses/wiki/UserGuideEn - Wiki http://code.google.com/p/openaddresses/ - Discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/OpenAddresses Thanks for your interest.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Hosting Solutions
Hi, One option is to use Amazon (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/). I see the following advantage: - Worldwide coverage - You pay only what you consume. You can stop the server at any time. - If needed, Camptocamp can provide Amazon Machine Image ( http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=171) based on Debian Lenny with GIS software preinstalled (like MapServer or GeoServer). Then you can install/do what you want on these servers. We use this in project like http://map.veloland.ch/.

[OSGeo-Discuss] KML Streaming server with OS Software
Hello, I'd like to know if there is any Open Source Software that is able to stream huge KML file. The use case is the following: we'd like to diffuse a 100GB KML file through the Google Earth PlugIn.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Next 5 years for OSGeo
of OSGeo4W, Debian GIS and the recent FOSS4G LiveDVD as examples of forms this might take. - A continued strong FOSS4G, acknowledged as the primary global meeting of the tribes, though it might not be significantly larger than it is now. - Financial income coming from a wide diversity of sponsors, most of which are end-user organizations. Also some money coming in the form of grants in support of specific activities (such as work on educational products or standards participation). - The organization has sustained income sufficient to support an ED, project systems requirements, with enough money left over to pursue a variety of initiatives. I think sufficient funding would be in the $25 to $40 area. - OSGeo pursuing a variety of modest cost, non-permanent initiatives. Things like holding special meetings with travel support for desktop integration or standards development and implementation sprints.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Comparison between MapServer/OpenLayers and ESRI ArcIMS
At Camptocamp, we have deployed several production instances of web mapping applications on Amazon. For example, Map veloland ( http://map.veloland.ch/?lang=en) a 100k+ unique visitors/day is hosted this way and use several OS software (Puppet, HAproxy, MapServer, TileCache, Pylons, MapFish, GeoExt, OpenLayers, ExtJS and others). 0$ investment, handle of slashdot effect or scalabality, flexibility are big advantages of Amazon cloud computing (I'm not an Amazon sales representative, only an happy user ;-).

But no problem at all with Open Source GIS stacks. No license to get tangled with load balancing and auto scaling where servers come and go as needed. Mostly I've seen small business interest since they tend to take overhead costs more seriously. It might be useful to include a Cloud based server solution addendum, because that would be less optimal for an ESRI vendor and could look good compared to in-house hardware. We found it much better to own our entire solution (GeoIQ) due to this. It's built either with our own pieces, or open-source pieces - so we can deploy it to cloud, appliances, whatever without concern for ToU, licensing, etc. It's definitely a huge boon for us as a 'business'. Unfortunately, medium and large organizations seem to have budget allocations already in place for the big ticket approach. But then in this economy even that could be changing. Yes, that is a questionably valid (and even provably invalid) assumption. Big ticket items kick in all kinds of departmental, IT team, budgetary, sustainability, etc. questions. They're looking for easy entry items that maybe they can even slip into their discretionary budgets without invoking too much beauracracy.
