Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Geospatial Atlas
Hi Barry and others, Is Open Source Geospatial Atlas idea still alive? I hope so. Just to remind this good idea ... best regards, Robert On 05.08.2012 19:05, Barry Rowlingson wrote: For all those interested in the atlas project, I've started up a github site: https://github.com/barryrowlingson/osgeoatlas The .tex file there isn't compilable as it stands because the included map.pdf files aren't included, they are kinda large and I didn't want to clog the repo up with them. Maybe I could. Anyway. In the downloads is a compiled pdf - it uses the latex-tufte style and looks quite lovely. If only the maps were, I just did a couple of quick print composers in Qgis as proof-of-concept. They won't make the final cut. Please add comments and ideas as issues on the github tracker.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] CORRECTION -- Re: Board Elections 2012
I don't know Cameron personally, but as I understand our goal is to select the best representative from nominated persons. People make mistakes and election rules should give us just guideline. And those tiny mistakes could be easily corrected. So Cameron definitely should be on the list! best regards, Robert Szczepanek On 03.08.2012 14:42, Venkatesh Raghavan wrote: On 2012/08/03 21:25, Michael P.

This would have a number of negative consequences, IMHO. It could actually turn out to encourage or provide work to others currently offering training. The goal could be to develop an OSGeo-specialised curriculum, have certified trainers provide certified training to paying customers - in exchange trainers show they are qualified and students can say they are no only "QGIS" or "Faunalia" trained.. but "OSGeo trained" - something that no one can really do right now anyway :) Does that help? Think of the bigger program and not so much on a particular course that might be taught currently. Shouldn't this be done in parallel? OSGeo activities in the area of GIS "in general" and in the same time OSGeo projects covering software application topics with general issues as background. Project activities as driving forces and OSGeo (training, certification or whatever) more like common consensus forum in the wide area of FOSS4G. In my opinion this consesnus at OSGeo level will be hard to reach, as there is big diversity of goals and approaches even within one project. Not impossible, but it will take time. regards, Robert Szczepanek ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open "StreamMap"?
Hi Charlie, I like your idea, but there are many issues to discuss. 1. What is the goal? Depending on users interest (hydrologists, biologists, ..), "average" stream can be represented as line or polygon. Set of attributes depends on user needs. Even simple water level changes in time. Without some standarisation (mean yearly level?) this will be mixture of everything. And such attributes are not easy to get. Geometry based on recent ortophotomaps with basic set of attributes (stream name(s); some "average" discharge and velocity?) could be start point. 2. Relation to OSM. It can be seen as subset or extension of OSM. And probably those two sets will be used together. Close cooperation with/within OSM? 3. Additional data What about water level gauge stations? Anyway - great idea! regards, Robert W dniu 28.05.2011 03:51, Charlie Schweik pisze: Hi, I find myself wondering if there is a possibility of starting an "open stream map" project in a similar way to open street map? With the idea that this might be connected to an invasive plant species effort too... It is an interesting idea -- roads are relatively stable. Streams have additional attributes, like water levels. Any reactions or ideas on how this might be started?

[OSGeo-Discuss] proposal of new mailing list - graphics
Hi, My request for new mailing list 'graphics' is related to ongoing process of visual integration of few projects within OSGeo. At the moment GRASS and QGIS are involved, but gvSIG is also interested in cooperation. Present stage of icons development is at: http://robert.szczepanek.pl/gis-icons-0.1/ I found also that Symbol Registry is under development. But there is still missing one common place for discussion about graphics (symbols, icons, etc.). best regards, Robert Szczepanek ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Paolo Cavallini pisze: > Yes, standard icons. See fTools for examples; it would be good to keep the > same style; see also > GRASS toolbox, as several commands have the same results. First of all I had to make some order in icons and put them together on one page http://robert.szczepanek.pl/gis-icons-0.1/#request At the same time I have started drawing icons for your plugin. I will update them there. This is probably good moment to start ordering names and symbols in stead of making new and new icons. Most of them can be repeated in different modules, so good (universal) names will help a lot. And it will help reuse them in other projects. What is needed now from my point of view: - to collect icon request from different plugin-authors and different OSGeo projects, - to discuss the best names, - and to decide if presented graphical representation is appropriate. I was thinking about one common OSGeo mailing list concentrated on grahics - icons and map symbol set (Markus project). What is your opinion? Sorry for cross-posting this message.
