Hi Edzer, Thank you for your timely email. I agree that the functionality of the community version has been constrained and have noted your comments below on aa earlier thread on the Rasdaman lists that proceeded down a similar line with direct responses to issues avoided through diverting the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

Thanks, Peter, for the interesting opinions, but I see them as further divergence into other matters, not a discussion of my statement. I'd love to discuss all issues you mention some time. Did I ever tell you I owe my professor position to my open source contributions? Are there others on this

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

Actually for some historical context here, the reason the rules around establishing PSC were established the way they are, was to ensure that Autodesk’s MapGuide project would not be dominated in the “Benevolent Dictator Model” that may otherwise have occurred. The PSC could not comprise more

Peter, It's impressive that 20 TB is being served out by the community edition. However, the point that Edzer brings up (and that I was unaware of) causes me even more concern regarding the language used in service of promoting the potential OSGeo version of rasdaman around it's comparison to

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

I think OSGeo should stay out of the business of weighing in on how companies decide to commercialize technologies, so long as they respect the licensing terms. We and many companies use MapServer for instance at the heart of our proprietary stacks, which is simply another flavor of the open

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

Hi Edzer, Thank you for raising this topic questioning the value of radsaman community edition. It is pertinent considering recent discussions about Rasdaman incubation. Peter, your comments about programmers wanting to get paid for their work is valid, but does not provide justification for

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

oh, just looking at the subject again: several service providers believe indeed rasdaman community does offer a significant advantage: - see the download figures on www.rasdaman.org - concretely, see www.planetserver.eu which is running rasdaman community on - I believe - about 20 TB of Planetary

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does rasdaman CE solve an open source geospatial problem?

Hm, first of all: this is opening a different thread, talking about functionality of rasdaman community. Next, it is based on assumptions - without details (because off topic): conclusions are wrong. But to respond to the core message emphasized in the first paragraph: I respectfully disagree. In
