[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] JGrass 2.0 released
Sorry for crossposting. __ 05. March 2006 JGrass Development Team JGrass 2.0 Release Candidate 1 - Free Java Geographic Information System Today the JGrass Development team released the release candidate 1 for JGrass 2.0 - Trento. JGrass is Free Software under GNU GPL, the sources of which can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/jgrass JGrass is maintained at: HydroloGIS, Italy, at http://www.hydrologis.com were all the information regarding the project is kept. It is a Java based GIS built on top of the open source GIS GRASS. JGRASS aims to bring GRASS to production environments as opposed to the research environment. The improved user interface and scripting facility will allow an application oriented user environment focused on the task to be performed. This new version brings enhancements and new features: - first vector support following the geotools approach - visualization of geometry and attributes - visualization of Shapefiles - visualization of Autocad dwg file ( 2000) - visualization of Postgis layers - vector data preview - first scripting engine - console enhancement with command completion - enhanced native GRASS command execution - r.proj - r.dem2contour - v.contour2dem - queries with d.what.vect - check on the used virtual machine and bugfixes: - finally bugfix for the 1/2 pixel shift in raster display - bugfix for missing mapscale - bugs in interactive modules that tent to freeze the gui solved - integer reading bug with novalues - bugfix for the refresh button freezing References JGrass (Java Geographic Resources Analysis and Support System) web site with software download: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=144497 -- HydroloGIS - Environmental Safety Modelling www.hydrologis.com Andrea Antonello Environmental Engineer mobile: +393288497722 Let it be as much a great honour to take as to give learning, if you want to be called wise.

[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] European GIS Code Sprint
Dear friends, dear colleagues, we would like to raise to you all the following proposal of an European FOSS-GIS developers meeting by the end of November (kind of follow-up of the Canadian Code Sprint in September). The event is the 'European GIS Code Sprint' organized as a post-event of the SFScon 2007 held in Merano, Italy. Planned Dates are: * 16-17 Nov 2007: South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007 (http://www.sfscon.it/) * 18 Nov 2007 (Sunday): Outdoor GIS data collection for Free data set (somewhere in South Tyrol) * 19-21 Nov 2007: GIS Code Sprint The organisation of the event would be made by the Free Software Center in Bolzano. The Sprint would mainly have the aim to bring different projects to know each other and build up some standard interaction, let the teams of each project meet, discuss, design and code together fulltime and non-remotely for a few days, and obviously also do some bugfixing. Also we would invite power users in order to work on documentation, translation and even minor issues. In parallel, there would be the desire to collaborate on the creation of a free dataset by wandering in an ordered way through a defined region of the south tirol with GPS. The dataset should contain as many data as possible, as for example the dataset of the grassbook does. Moreover, climatic and hydrologic/hydraulic data should be integrated in order to support different analyses. Time is rather short and we would like to understand how much interest there is in such an event and more or less how many developer would like to attend. We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could bring together different projects, that really need to interact if they want to have a glorious future. Please give us possibly soon a feedback by *adding yourself* on the WIKI page created for the event: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/European_GIS_Code_Sprint Warmest regards, Andrea Antonello Markus Neteler
