Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G
Our 2ct for the Integration Showcase: PS. I am really hoping that anyone good at MapServer will take a run at the problem. We are interested in consuming WMS and WFS services in our application Mapbender. We do not need the Online Resources or FeatureTypes of the services now because we want to add the services during the FOSS4G2007 Integration Showcase. Unfortunately the Mapbender workshop W-03 is at the same time that Jeff and MapStorer lab and during the whole conference at the OSGeo booth. Potentially the outcome of a previous workshop could be this WMS... (dream on). We share Jody's hope that someone from the MapServer community is actually setting up a WMS for or during FOSS4G. For example W05: Tom Kralidis Environmennt Canada Daniel Morissette MapGears Additionally we hope that someone from the GeoServer community will do the same for a WFS-T. [W07] Introduction to Geospatial Collaboration using Geoserver Chris Holmes The Open Planning Project And so on. The WhereGroup will contribute a generic GeoServer WFS-T with the Canadian SRS so that people can add notes, make appointments in Victoria during the conference and so on. At the start of the conference we let the url out of the bag. The integration success is if gvSIG and MapBuilder and uDIG can all write to the same WFS. A corresponding map is generated by a MapServer WMS that looks into the same database. Anybody at FOSS4G who can consume these WMS and WFS has access to these feature types and maps and make appointments and view them and send them to others with the tools of her choice. If everybody simply uses the same data and makes sure that what they do is well documented by EduCom then a life OSGeo SDI with documentation and curriculum will evolve. Some tidying can be done during the Friday Developers Code Sprint. Sounds like a cool conference that I am looking very much forward to. 31 days to go.

Hi Arnulf, Additionally we hope that someone from the GeoServer community will do the same for a WFS-T. [W07] Introduction to Geospatial Collaboration using Geoserver Chris Holmes The Open Planning Project And so on. The WhereGroup will contribute a generic GeoServer WFS-T with the Canadian SRS so that people can add notes, make appointments in Victoria during the conference and so on. At the start of the conference we let the url out of the bag. I will be throwing up a GeoServer instance on the demo server. I like the idea of throwing together some live tables that people can edit via wfs with the various clients and publish via wms. The appointment scenario is a good one to start with. I will update the wiki with the connection info.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G
Arnulf, good idea to have a WFS-T we can all connect to. How about we publish the URL before the demo so that we can set up and test our clients, then reset the data at the start of the conference.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G
I just threw up a GeoServer instance and updated the wiki page. http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_IntegrationShowcase#GeoServer Currently it is only publishing a single dataset, an appointments dataset as Arnulf suggested. Let he brainstorming begin about what kind of live datasets we want to setup and I can do the GeoServer configuration accordingly. -Justin Cameron Shorter wrote: Arnulf, good idea to have a WFS-T we can all connect to.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G
A MapServer WMS is probably, just like the database itself, one of the backend services that should be hosted on the main server and have its URL published as early as possible so that others can build their demos against it. But we can definitely keep it running in order to participate in the showcase. A volunteer (more experienced with mapserver then myself :) ) to help setup some nice map files would be welcomed. Which version of MapServer are you currently running, probably 4.10? Would it be an option to also install a recent 5.0 beta with AGG support (with some help)? Yes 4.10. I will grab the latest 5.0 beta and see if i can compile it. Hopefully we can make that a MapServer community effort and if Paul (who just replied saying he'd also be interested) and/or myself setup a strawman mapfile others from the community can contribute enhancements to it to make the default map output (without SLD) look real good. This is probably becoming off-topic for this list, is there another better place where we could continue that discussion with interested parties? Agreed. I will talk to Paul R about possible setting up a mail list for the integration showcase... if there is not already one.

Jody, Ok, I must be dense, I don't see a link to any data anywhere on this page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_IntegrationShowcase A lot of reference and catalog description links though. Is this it? :http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Canadian_Geodata, not exactly obvious from the previous page if you ask me. Ok, this is a neat idea, but shouldn't there be one spot with a copy of the data someplace, even just a subset of smaller datasets would start folks going. It would make it much easier to get started on participation. bobb Jody Garnett wrote: Bob Basques wrote: Is this restricted to conference attendees? Nope. Also, where is the data?

Dave, It wasn't immediately obvious that that was where the data was. bobb Dave Patton wrote: Jody Garnett wrote: Can you show me the ntdb_roads_50 layer? Why are you being asked this? Well it is because the fellow in front of you is wanting to see how well your software performs, and the last two projects had the same dataset (and darn if gvSig was not nearly as fast as ArcView) and he would really like to see your project handle the same information. For more information please bother my friend [EMAIL PROTECTED] and visit the following page: - http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_IntegrationShowcase Remember if you don't download this data, and put it on your laptop before the conference, you will just be trying to figure out what this stuff is (and how to make your application look good with it) at the conference.

Hi Bob, I think what Jody was trying to point you at was this: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_IntegrationShowcase#PostGIS_Database_:_Refractions_Research It is what you say, a single spot of storage for the data which has a subset of those datasets posted on the Canadian Geodata page. -Justin Bob Basques wrote: Jody, Ok, I must be dense, I don't see a link to any data anywhere on this page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_IntegrationShowcase A lot of reference and catalog description links though.
