Re: [QGIS-Developer] wps client plugin

2019-11-15 Thread Pirmin Kalberer

Hi Martin,

Our colleague Hussein has ported the plugin to QGIS 3 some time ago:
https://github.com/HusseinKabbout/qgis-wps-client
AFAIK the Processing integration hasn't been ported yet, which might be 
the reason, that it wasn't published on plugins.qgis.org.

Pirmin

Dear all,

to my knowledge there is currently no WPS client plugin for QGIS3. I
just found [1] which is written for QGIS2, no updates seem to be

I am thinking to start implementing a new WPS client for QGIS3 from
scratch. To avoid duplication, are you aware of any initiative?

Thanks, Martin

It's an OpenLayer layer when layer.customProperty('ol_layer_type') exists.

This looks correct and osgearth 2.7 is the supported version for QGIS 2.16.

You have to activate the Globe plugin in "Manage and install plugins..." and 
then you should get a menu entry Plugins -> Globe -> Launch Globe.

Would be great to hear that the globe is also running on Mac!

Re: [Qgis-developer] Future of OpenLayers plugin - time to deprecate?

2016-06-15 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi all,

Am Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2016, 08.20:13 schrieb Richard Duivenvoorde:
> Maybe first discuss with Author (in cc)?

Thanks Richard. Today was the 7th annual Swiss QGIS User meeting and therefore 
no time to answer to this second shit storm wave earlier.

First some history for QGIS newbies:
The OpenLayers plugin was presented at the first QGIS User meeting six years 
ago [1]. It was built to integrate Google Maps layers using the Google API via 
OpenLayers. At this time only the illegal (but well known) way using a GDAL 
VRT supported this functionality. In the meantime there have been at least 
three plugins reimplementing this illegal TMS access method, the latest (and 
best) is QuickMapServices. The OpenLayers plugin got the first major breakage 
with the QGIS 2.0 API change. The multithreaded rendering in QGIS 2.4 caused a 
complete rewrite of the plugin. Between and after that other QGIS or Google 
Maps changes have broken the OpenLayers plugin from time to time and it was a 
matter of course that we "fix" it to adapt these (usually paid) changes.

I personally don't think that the name of this or another plugin is the main 
reason for more than 700'000 downloads of the OpenLayers plugin. I know of 
quite a few users staying with old QGIS version (even 1.x) just to be able to 
display and print Google Maps base layers. For some of them the plugin was 
important enough, to pay a few hundred Swiss Francs for another "bug fix". 
Apart of this, OpenLayers was always done in my limited spare time at home or 
at hackfests (travelling sponsored by Sourcepole). Even when I pointed at a 
possible breakages of PluginLayers, like before merging the map rotation 
feature, it seemed never to have any priority to test a change with the OL 
plugin or even preventing to break it. This attitude and the destructive 
Trump-syle tone with the +1 frency in this community mailing list are 
definitely not the motivation I would need for another bug fix. And regarding 
the reputation of QGIS, I find promoting a plugin for doing  illegal things 
worse than not fixing printing problems.

Enough of getting my frustration out - I have also a constructive proposal: 
Please pass a customRenderFlag during composer rendering to give PluginLayers 
a chance to handle this case without adventurous workarounds (and besides make 
it possible to fix WMTS printing with more than 90dpi's). I would then at least 
turn off OL layers and display a message.

Pirmin

The usage of Bing as TMS is now legal AFAIK. Using Google as TMS is against 
Googles Terms of Service. That's why the OpenLayer plugin uses OpenLayers 
(sic!) for Google layers, which complicates a lot of things.
BTW, the master branch of OpenLayers also uses TMS where (legally) possible, 
which solves most printing problems, etc.

 Am I missing something? Should I open a ticket?

Looks like a plugin error. The layer identfication has been changed in the

  Can you explain if using Google Maps with the OpenLayers plugin respects

Search for you must not access map tiles in the TOS 
(https://developers.google.com/maps/terms). That's why the OpenLayers plugin 
is using only the Javascript API with a WebKit Browser.

You can decide during the HF, whether I should run a script once for closing

I also recommend setting the target version of open 2.0 tickets to Version X

 I know well the bug queue and I'm not so sure that there are many

 git clone git://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS.git
 git branch --track release-2_0 origin/release-2_0
 git checkout release-2_0
 
 Or (to check out the final tagged version made a few hours ago):

 Please hold your packages until you hear more from me so that we can
 coordinate the release announcement with the new web site announcement. I
 expect that will be at the end of this week or over the weekend coming.
 
 Some notes:
 
 - Please do not commit anything to the 2_0_0 branch except packaging
 related tweaks pending further notification from myself or Juergen.
 - If you make a package please be so kind as to update the download wiki
 page at http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Download with the details of your package
 (taking into account the hold-until-the-site-is-ready note above).
 - If you are able to make packages for unlisted platforms / distros
 please discuss your plans on this thread so that we can avoid duplication
 of effort.
 - I would like to make the release announcement next week, so it will be
 great to have as many packages as possible ready by then.
 - GIT master is open again for general commits - please seek guidance
 from Marco Hugentobler (PSC Code Manager) if you are planning any major
 code changes.
 - Juergen Fischer (incoming PSC Release Manager) will be managing the
 release process for future releases, so please follow his lead in terms of
 code freeze etc in master.
 
 Many thanks to all the developers, testers, bug fixers, bug reporters,
 document writers, translators and users that help to make QGIS 2.0.0 a
 reality!
 
 Lastly can I call on the release team (or any interested people) to help to
 put together visual changelog (link below), press announcements etc. ready
 for the release date? I will send you an email when the packages are ready
 and you can start broadcasting announcements.
 
 Visual Changelog Page: http://changelog.linfiniti.com/version/1/ (this is

[Qgis-developer] Ticket cleanup after 2.0 release

2013-09-09 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi,

With currently ~1700 open bug and feature request tickets, keeping track of 
open tickets gets harder and harder. Since many tickets are quite old, maybe 
solved or not appropriate anymore, I propose a cut following the 2.0 release. 
Means we close all tickets with a comment asking to reopen, if the ticket 
still applies to 2.0.

 That's a very good point. What about the Navigation toolbar on the right,
 with the Plugin toolbar filling the empty space at right on the first row
 of horizontal toolbars?
 
 Here's my reasoning. Nav tools are quickly accessible, and when a new user
 downloads/installs a plugin, there is already space to show it (assuming
 that plugin loads a tool button into the Plugins toolbar). Then the user
 can move toolbars to their liking.
 
 Any other ideas?

I'm not a friend of a toolbar on the right side, because it's too far away 
when the Sextante toolbox is displayed.
I propose to put the layer toolbar on the left side. This will feel quite new 
for most users, but it makes sense to have it at the side of the layers panel 
and the browser which also has an add layer functionality.
+1 for activating the plugin toolbar filling empty space.

  +1 for removing Advanced Digitizing toolbar as a default, as all of the
  functions are available in the Edit menu already. If needed, the user can
  show that toolbar.
  
  Another major layout issue is what the layout looks like after turning on

[Qgis-developer] Toolbar and Panel defaults

2013-07-09 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi,

I had a look at the current defaults for toolbars and panels. A new user of 
QGIS 2.0 should not be overwhelmed with too many buttons and windows, but we 
should guide him to find important features like the embedded browser. In my 
opinion there are some defaults which could be optimized to reach this goal.

Toolbars:
-Turn off Advanced Digitizing
-Move Label to second row

Panels:
-Turn on Layer order and Browser in a tabbed view with Layers

Print composer:
-Place all toolbars in one row

Pirmin

Hi Tim,

Am Mittwoch, 3. Juli 2013, 23.15:03 schrieb Tim Sutton:
 
 Pirmin what happens if / when QGIS project itself wants to release QGIS
 Enterprise version - or another company? Maybe it would be better to call
 it 'Sourcepole GIS' or something to make it clear that it is not an
 official QGIS product but an official Sourcepole product? I think there is
 going to be a lot of confusion otherwise with people thinking that it is
 part of the QGIS project but they can't have it

I think a completely different name of a new GIS which is very similar to 
QGIS could be more confusion than one or many QGIS variants. Look at the 
various Linux variants (some of them commercial) or many other examples [1].

 
 Also (out of curiosity) what is to stop one of your clients cloning the
 private source tree that you provide and then making that publicly
 available - or just pushing it back in to the mainstream QGIS tree? i.e. do
 you realise any real long term benefit from keeping the tree private in the
 first place?

We didn't think a lot about publishing our source code branch, yet. So this 
could happen anytime. The question why clients do not publish sources of 
commercial FOSS software is hard to answer. Maybe it's a question of loality?

[Qgis-developer] Synergy of QGIS Enterprise and QGIS 2.0/Master branch

2013-07-01 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi all,

There were some discussions about the relation of the recently announced QGIS 
Enterprise [1] and the upcoming QGIS 2.0 release.
QGIS Enterprise was born out of the needs of our customers for a stable QGIS 
branch with frequent bug fix releases similar to the Ubuntu LTS model. Almost 
all of the professional QGIS users we know, have many custom plugins in use. 
Some of these plugins are applications with 10'000's lines of code! So API 
compatibility has absolutly hightest priority for them.
That's the reason we branched 1.9 before the API break to give our customers 
most of the features of 2.0 but let them more time to migrate their plugins to 
the new API.
We fixed many major bugs reported by our customers and applied them also to 
QGIS master [3]. The QGIS projects benefits from this model directly, since it 
finances at least Marco working 100% on QGIS core development. And there are 
not only bug fixes flowing back into QGIS master, but also major performance 
improvements [2],[4].
We hope very much that we can carry on this synergy for the coming years and 
look forward to see you in Maptember to work together on QGIS 2.1!

 Thank for this information. This is a good thing and I'm sure there is
 a demand for it in France :) , the only downside I see is that a single
 company is getting the use of the Enterprise tag attached to QGIS.

Don't forget the french speaking part of Switzerland ;-)
As GeoServer shows, there can be several Enterprise offerings [1],[2].

 Hi Pirmin,
 
 if we manage to release 2.0 before Brighton, I agree that the Openlayers
 plugin is one plugin which should be available at 2.0 launch.

According to Tims latest plan I don't expect the 2.0 release before Brighton.
So the OL plugin should be ready for 2.0 early enough.

 
 Here locally I managed to get it running in current master (most of it,
 overview widget is not ok yet).
 But I do not want to force/stress Sourcepole or Matthias to put time in
 looking into it if they have more important things to do.
 
 And maybe you have (bigger/other) plans with the plugin, like a
 refactoring or upgrade of bigger parts of the code. Or maybe you know
 with QGIS 2.0 there are non sip parts that will give problems?
 I can also imagine that you really want to support only ONE plugin
 working for both sip api versions.
 
 But that said, I'm happy to put what I have now put on Github and ask
 for a pull request in a 2.0 branch (what I did is NOT compatible with
 1.8). I'm also available if bugs pop up in that version in short future.
 
 And I agree that Brighton is then a nice place to do the 'bigger' work
 for this really important plugin.

We're happy to integrate a pull request earlier. But as statet in the ticket, 
the patch has to be backwards compatible with 1.8. It is no option for us to 
maintain our plugins for two QGIS versions in parallel. This is some initial 
extra work, but will help us during the coming years to keep 1.8 users up to 
date.

 I was wondering what are the plans for the QGIS globe and the

 The Globe does not seems to work (yet):
 
 on Windows it give bad allocation and on linux it seg faults qgis
 easily when playing with configurations.

The Globe plugin is usable on Linux since a few months. I'm currently working 
on a better look of the navigation controls (just a small fix, not a feature

Marco and me did a lot of investigations on the Windows side. Our conclusion 
was, that a different compiler version must have been used for one of the 
dependent OSGEO4W packages, probably GDAL (globe uses C++ API).

 The Mapserver export plugin does support just the old symbology, and
 as the old symbology will be removed then should make sense also
 remove the plugin (that anyway can be replaced by the RT Mapserver
 exporter one).

[Qgis-developer] Sextante integration of WPS client

2013-03-13 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi,

The WPS plugin with Sextante integration in https://www.kappasys.ch/svn/wps is 
now ready for others to look into. The major work was an extraction of shared 
WPS client code into a wpslib package. Testing of the native GUI is very 
welcome, since a big amount of code had to be touched. The Sextante support is 
far from complete yet. WPS bookmarks are shown in the Sextante toolbox and can 
be executed from there.
The next tasks are:
1. Update toolbox tree after adding new bookmarks
2. Current selection only checkbox
3. BBOX parameters
4. Support for use in modeler. Currently the process description is loaded 
just before the input dialog is openened (as in the native GUI).
5. Register raster types supported by Sextante
6. Support for multiple raster and vector inputs
7. Replace error/warning message boxes in wpslib with callbacks
8. Handle literal outputs

Any help is welcome!

Other OSS projects I'm working with care more for their users. They release a

Re: [Qgis-developer] Merging of incompatible changes

Hi Martin, Andreas and others,

Am Mittwoch, 24. Oktober 2012, 16.13:34 schrieb Andreas Neumann:
 
  Tim should correct me - but as far as I remember we said that threading
  support is one of the major things we want to see in QGIS 2.0 (along
  with raster redesign, atlas printing and others). But none of us were
  sure in what timeframe Martin can work on it and when it will be
  finished. Therefore we decided not to make it a blocker.
 
  We also decided that the geometry refactoring (for arcs, splines,
  z-values, m-values, multitype geometries, etc.) should be done after
  QGIS 2.0. I am not sure if this would again mean API breaks ...
 
  So I am against postponing the multithreading work and I had the
  impression that this was the conclusion of others as well.

I'm waiting for Tim dropping into the discussion as well... In Essen, we 
decided against integrating major new features (like multithreading) into the 
next release. We did decide filling the missing gaps to fully replace old 
symbology and old labelling (Paolo: Kickstarter pledge on the way?) and 
polishing the many new features already integrated.

We already have some API breaks. I've spent quite some time in Essen to get a 
full list of it:
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/API_changes_for_version_20#Full-diff
My estimation is, that about 1% of all existing plugins are affected by the 
API changes in the current master branch. So we're talking of about 2 of 160 
plugins in the central repo and maybe 160 of 16'000 unpublished user plugins 
(any better estimation than 1:100 between published and unpublished plugins?).
Martins proposed API change means we break 160 of 160 and 16'000 of 16'000 
plugins. It will take years to bring them all in sync with QGIS again.

And we're not only talking about plugins. We're talking about a possible 2.0 
release with WMTS, WFS-T, huge raster improvements including performance 
factor 4 with PNG/8, Atlas printing, Sextante and minor things like fixed 
Shapefile support in Q1/2013. The other option is a new QGIS with release date 
far in 2014 and a giant gap between users working with QGIS 1.7.4, 1.8++ and 
developers working on a new QGIS and releasing plugins in a separate 
repository. Companies like ours will get paid for maintaining branches for 
customers who need stable and compatible releases. There will be 1.8 custom 
branches with backported fixes/features and a garanteed non-frozen 1.9 branch. 
I will remind Marco in 2014 of his +1 when he's still compiling QGIS 1.8 and 
investing a lot of time backporting fixes to a single-threaded version. I 
would very much prefer let him work on *new* features, which are a profit for 
*all* users, like in recent years.

We are on a developer list here. As a developer I like the proposed changes 
very much. QGIS is made by developers, but is also made for users. And 
sometimes we should care about users - even the 99% Windows users. That's why 
I'm voting for a polished 2.0 release in a few month with the great feature 
set we already have.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Merging of incompatible changes

-1 from me.
This is against the release plan we agreed on the hackfest.

IMHO, current master can be a great 2.0 release with many new features in a 
few months.
Your additions are the begin of the next level - an even greater 3.0 release.

So I would strongly prefer to have these changes in a plugin-ng-branch 
instead of starting a frozen 1.9 branch.

Re: [Qgis-developer] OGR and INTERLIS transformations Plugin

2012-10-12 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi Victor,

I did a short a presentation of the OGR and INTERLIS transformations plugin in 
Lyon, where we met! The source code is on https://github.com/pka/qgis-
ogrprocessing-plugin and there is a (german) screencast using the plugin: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-wOAVGfhc .
I'm very interested to integrate the DB related stuff into Sextante, but didn't 
have enough time for a complete Sextante patch. I hoped thet Sextante gets a 
separate git repostory , which would make it easier to send pull requests.

Regards
Pirmin

 I have just done a quick check for new plugins, and found one named OGR

 author information, but I would like to get in contact with the developers,
 since some things, specially the DB-related ones, are something that I
 planned to add to SEXTANTE. Also, I could help with the other algorithms,
 with some improvement ideas.
 
 So, if you are the author or this module and would like me to help you and
 eventually including those algorithms in the core colelction of SEXTANTE
 ones...just say something :-)

 p.s. I did a quick search before pressing the send buttonand I see
 that, if I am not wrong Pirmin is the author. Anyway, I send the message

[Qgis-developer] Benchmarking QgsExpression against V8

2012-01-09 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi all,

Following the recent enhancements of QGsExpression, I was wondering whether it 
wouldn't make sense to integrate a language intepreter instead of creating 
another language.
One candidate would be Google's V8 JavaScript engine 
(http://code.google.com/p/v8/). Since embedding this C++ library is easy, I've 
conducted a few quick benchmarks against QgsExpression. Code is attached.

Test 1:
Qgs: '1' || '2' || '3' || '4' || '5' || '6' || '7' || '8' || '9' || '0'
total_avg: 3.380211
V8: '1' + '2' + '3' + '4' + '5' + '6' + '7' + '8' + '9' + '0'
total_avg: 0.556035
Fact: 6.0791335

Test 2:
Qgs: 1+1=2 AND 51
total_avg: 4.072254
V8: 1+1==2  54
total_avg: 0.864054
Fact: 4.7129624

Test 3:
Qgs: replace(lower( 'AAxx'), 'xx', 'BB')
total_avg: 3.480217
V8: 'AAxx'.toLowerCase().replace('xx', 'BB')
total_avg: 0.856053
Fact: 4.0654224

Test 4:
Qgs: regexp_replace( 'AAxx', 'x+', 'b')
total_avg: 2.952184
V8: 'AAxx'.replace(/x+/, 'b')
total_avg: 0.668042
Fact: 4.4191593

Test 5:
Qgs: CASE WHEN (15 = 11 or 15 = 13 or 15 = 15 or 15 = 21) THEN 15 END
total_avg: 1.4664916
V8: if ([11,13,15,21].indexOf(15)=0) { 15 }
total_avg: 0.2672168
Fact: 5.4880217

This benchmarks show that QgsExpression evaluation is between 4 to 6 times 
slower than V8. This is much better than I expected, but it's still factor 4 
to 6...
So I think it's worth discussing pros and cons of using V8 as an expression 
engine. I see the following points:

Pros:
-Better performance
-Full Javascript language set included
-Possibility for writing custum functions

Cons:
-New language for expressions
-More fat (3.7MB for libv8.so)

V8 would be a new runtime dependency but would replace the flex and yacc build 
dependencies.

Any other points?

Regards
Pirmin

I'm not aware of a ticket about filtering. It's very easy to create and save

also create filters is by clicking on a link on the Issues Summary page.

Re: [Qgis-developer] github vs hub.qgis.org/projects/.../repository

2011-12-16 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi Richard,

There was never an in-depth discussion about the role of hub.qgis.org vs 
github.com.
Since I was involved in the setup of both platforms, here my personal view:

We want to have direct links between tickets and changesets for QGIS. 
Therefore we need the git repository viewer on hub.qgis.org. But for me, 
gitosis on hub.qgis.org is only a backup solution to keep a certain 
independency from github.com. Due to the nature of a distributed VCS, the risk 
of this dependency is low and we won't be able to compete with github.com in 
terms of features. So I suggest people to publish their (plugin) code on 
github. And If they don't want that, they have the possibility to use the 
OSGEO hosted git repo on hub.qgis.org (with less functionality).

Regards
Pirmin

 Hi Devs,
 
 doing some plugins, and working both with plugins from
 hub.qgis.org/projects/.../repository (my own) and plugins living at
 github (wktplugin from Allesandro), it appears to me that github seems
 to work more transparant for me...
 
 Eg at github after a couple of days you could see that people forked
 Allesandro's plugin and you could even see what they were doing with it
 (by going to the forkers github repo). I could even contact those people
 to ask to do a pull request etc etc.
 
 I think, this cannot be done at our own hub.qgis.org-repo?
 Or am I missing something in this?
 
 I think it is really helpfull to see what other people are adding/doing
 with a plugin. And it hopefully also minimizes the private
 branching/forking of plugins.
 
 I read something about the old jquery plugins site, which broke down,
 and now there is a message at
 http://blog.jquery.com/2011/12/08/what-is-happening-to-the-jquery-plugins-s
 ite/ that says: we’ve started converting our plans into action, building
 out an infrastructure that’s backed by GitHub.
 
 Isn't that an ideal situation for QGIS plugin future to?
 
 I am NOT wanting to throw away the infrastructure we have now! It's just
 that I like the jquery plugin idea...
 
 Regards,
 
 Richard Duivenvoorde
 
 ps as a temporary solution I think to fork (is forking actually adding a
 new remote?) my repo's to github too...
 
 ps2 (sorry for too much words on the list from my side I will go in
 stealth mode  now)

 Hello Andreas, all,
 
 the check can be done during import:
 
 
 try:
 from qgis.core import newFunctionName as function
 except:
 from qgis.core import oldFunctionName as function
 
 
 so that you can use function anywhere in the code without further
 checks.
 To keep the import code short, only the previous version of the API is
 tested. If a plugin developer wants to extend support to even older
 versions, I would recommend to create a separate LTS version.
 What do you think?


I support Annes approach.
It's appropriate to use the Duck typing style in Python and not the C++ style 
(if API_VERSION = 2.0): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing#In_Python
If a method is called only once, one could also write
if hasattr(composerView, addComposerShape):
...

I've started a section on Marco's Wiki page for this:

  Hi,
   Thanks for the reply Werner.
   Continuing on the same lines, I wanted to know what capabilities does
 this Mapserver provide to the client. According to the Mapserver manual,
 it says only 3 operations have been standardised  - getMap, getAttributes
 and one more(I don't remember it right now).  But does it also provide
 some kind of 'write' capabilities to the client so that the user can play
 around with the maps that are presented. Please help.

The best source of information for QGIS Server is currently

 Now the osgearth plugin builds and is packaged. However, if libosgearth-dev

libosgearth-dev is already a build dependency. Did you run sudo apt-get

  couple questions.
  
  Does the globe plugin make use of any osg/osgearth plugins, and if so
  which?  Or is it transparent to globe and it can use any osg plugins?

The globe makes use of these osgearth plugins (and maybe more):
osgdb_osgearth_worldwind.so
osgdb_osgearth_tileservice.so
osgdb_earth.so
osgdb_osgearth_tilecache.so

Also a few OSG plugins will be used. But I think there are no optional plugins 
with additional dependencies necessary.

  
  as far as I can recall the plugins are transparent and we have no plugin
  specific code: The OpenSceneGraph database plugin library osgDB
  automatically loads plugins on demand, using the extension of the file
  being loaded/saved to determine which plugin to load.
  
  How does osg handle alternate paths for osg plugins, and does the globe
  plugin make use of this?  I guess it would have to something configured
  for compilation.
 
 But, can an alternate osg plugin searth path be specified from osgEarth, or
 can this be added.  I can't bundle osg/osgEarth in the QGIS application if
 not, and must distribute a separate package like my other frameworks
 (though maybe others would be interested in that).
 

You can set OSG library search paths at runtime with OSG_LIBRARY_PATH or 
OSG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
(http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/UserGuides/EnvironmentVariables).
If you want to bundle the libraries together with QGIS, then the cmake 
variables CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and OSG_PLUGINS of OSG/OSGEarth have to be 
changed at least. If you set OSG_PLUGINS to an empty string, the plugins will 
be installed in the same directory as the libraries.
On the QGIS globe side only the OSG*LIBRARY cmake variables have to be 
changed.

It could be dangerous to mix up Sandros estimation with the work for a

far more complex than writing tests for a pure data processing library like 
PostGIS e.g. My estimation is 2 to 3 man-years for a test coverage of 80%. 
Think of topologocal editing, interactive print composer, image comparison and

There is only an old migration script, which is not working anymore

 what we need to develop is quite simple (to explain). Users should be
 able to register/login in the webclient (users data stored in a
 geometryless table in the qgis project?), then, depending on what user
 group the user belong, show certain layers/groups in the TOC of the web
 client. User data (name, address, etc.) should be stored after the login
 to allow use them in the print layouts.
 
 One way or another we will have to develop something like that, so we
 would prefer to do it the right way, upstream and in a way that can be
 useful to as much people as possible.
 

I don't think that authentication should be built into a WMS server. There are 
many solutions around, doing authentication and authorisation transparently on 
top of a WMS server:
* http://52north.org/communities/security/index.html
* http://geoprisma.org/site/index.php
* https://sites.google.com/site/geoshieldproject/home
* http://www.secureows.org/

Integration into QGIS Webclient will need some work, I suppose, but there 
should be no change in QGIS Server.

  added a some temporary hacks to bypass GDAL and we’re now getting
  images to display via OSSIM! For us, this is a huge first step and we
  are seriously considering pressing ahead.
  
  
  
  Is this something that the QGIS community would support? We would very
  much appreciate your blessing and support. We have lots of questions
  and could really use your help.

Re: [Qgis-developer] A roadmap to QGIS 2.0

Hi,

Am Dienstag, 18. Januar 2011, um 07.05:56 schrieb Tim Sutton:
 Hi All
 
 I think its time to start thinking about getting 2.0 'out'. What do
 others think? The major goal would be to
 
 - clean up the api and remove cruft / inelegant parts / backwards
 compatibility wrappers
 - do an overhaul of the api docs and get it to a good state (doxygen wise)
 - get rid of old labelling completely
 - get rid of old symbology completely
 - merge many of the plugins directly into trunk (north arrow, gps,
 coordinate capture, delimited text, georeferencer, some form of raster
 colours / 1 band raster colour table etc.)
 - capitalise on the bug fixing work of SunilRaj from kCube so that his
 time is going into stabilising for a 2.0 release
 - show the world that we have reached the next level of maturity and
 functionality
 -
 
 As such I would propose the following time line
 (http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Release_Checklists)
 
 Release Checklist 1.7 - Not yet named 1 April 2011
   Introduce threaded rendering, raster on the fly projection, 3D globe mode

Like Werner and Anita I've overlooked your entries threaded rendering, raster 
on the fly projection, 3D globe mode for 1.7. Hopefully Martin has time for 
this important merge soon!

* Version numbering: In my opinion version 2.0 should not be given from a 
developers point of view (code cleanup, etc.) but from a users point of view 
(new features, new GUI). In that sense 1.7 or 1.8 would deserve the version 
2.0 tag.
* API transition: From a users point of view we should keep compatibility to 
old project files and API calls (plugins!) as long as possible. We should give 
users as much help as possible to migrate their projects and developers to 
migrate their plugins to the 2.0 API. Therefore I would add the following 
points to 1.7:
-New symbology and new labelling used by default
-Deprecate old features (symbology, labelling) and API's

I propose adding a deprecation mechanism, which sends messages to the plugin 
manager. The plugin manager should mark plugins which are not 2.0 compatible 
and collect their deprecation messages. In contrary, C++ plugins will get 
deprecation messages at compile time.
So there would be time to update plugins after 1.7, complete the 
implementation of new symbology and new labelling and implement a migration 
mechanism for old features (good goals for a Hackfest!).

Regards
Pirmin



 Release Checklist 1.8 - Not yet named 1 July 2011
   Full GUI freeze for 2.0, no more old symbology, old labelling
 Release Checklist 2.0 - Not yet named 1 September 2010
   API changes finalised, all deprecation wrappers removed, API docs tidied
 up.
 
 
 The timing would allow us to have 2.0 ready to make a splash at the
 next FOSS4G conference.
 
 Any comments? Does this work for others? Any other major additions
 folks think should be in place before QGIS goes out?
 
 I look forward to your feedback,
 
 Regards
 
 Tim

 just write down the disadvantages and threats of the two solutions.
 
[...]

In my opinion it's not a discussion between Django and Redmine. The confusion 
comes from not discussing all aspects in one session (yes, people were too 
tired).

I would group the aspects in
1. Package repository + Package download website
2. Plugin source code repository
3. Bug tracking + Plugin home pages

Borys and Martin proposed a solution for point 1, developed with Django. They 
did not couple the package repository with the source code repository to let 
plugin developers choose their SCM.

Tim's announcement includes the following solutions for these aspects:
1. Django application
2. One(?) Github repository
3. One(?) Trac instance

In the discussion Alex is referring to, we came to this:
1. not discussed
2. OSGeo Git server
3. Redmine

We didn't go deeper into point 2 and number 3 was not confirmed by Tim.
I have absolutely no problems with Tim's solution and I'm sure he will clarify 
open points as soon as he arrives in South Africa.

Hi Paolo,

I understand that you want to go on. But I think that the decision for a 
plugin development infrastructure should happen in Wroclaw, with many devs 
involved. We can show there the different approaches and help the attending 
people setting up new software (like git), if needed. A discussion about pros 
and cons of such a decision takes quite some time, especially when discussed 
by mail. Time, which many devs do not have during their daily work. The result 
of a hasty decision is usually: let's stay with the old tools we already 
know.

 Hi all,
 
 I am a member of the Orfeo Toolbox Team ( http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/
 ) and since last year some developments have been made to try to bring
 some OTB functionalities inside Quantum GIS.
 
 Some OTB plugins (C++) have been develop and there are also developments
 around the integration of  the Monteverdi application as a Qgis plugin.
 Monteverdi is an integrated application allowing to create a complete
 processing (ortho-rectification, segmentation, classification, etc.). It
 allows building processing chains by selecting modules from a set of
 menus. It supports raster and vector data and it is based on  already
 existing OTB filters. Also the architecture takes advantage of the
 streaming and multi-threading capabilities of the OTB pipeline (
 http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/monteverdi.html. )
 
 The current OTB-QGIS plugins (as of August 2010) rely on writing the
 data on the disk after processing before reopening it to be available in
 QGIS. The goal is to provide now directly the result of the processing
 without going thought disk writing.
 
 The proposed architecture is to develop an otbprovider in QGIS modeled
 after the WMSProvider to be able  to add a streamed otb raster layer in
 the Qgis viewer. That's the difficult part...Our provider do not work
 for now but I think that we're not too far from a solution!
 (Technically, there is perhap's the need to define a specific method
 AddRasterLayer for otb layers inside the QgisInterface class...But we
 need to discuss first with members of the qgis team who will have a more
 complete vision of the internal Qgis architecture of data providers...)
 
 By the way, we'll present the Orfeo Toolbox and the latest developments
 around the library at FOSS4G2010 in Barcelona next week:
 http://2010.foss4g.org/presentations_show.php?id=3655
 
 We will be glad to discuss with QGIS developers about these topics
 during the conference!

Re: [Qgis-developer] porting QGIS to Android?

2010-09-01 Thread Pirmin Kalberer
Hi Paolo,
I would personally wait a few months to see how much sucess the Meego platform 
(http://meego.com/) has. It is a very promising choice for QGIS mobile, 
since it includes QT as the standard GUI library. It's supports Atom based 
netbooks and the first tablets are coming...
Regards
Pirmin

P.S: As an Android owner I would naturally support a QGIS port ;-)

 Hi all.
 Android, although not really free, is a very interesting platform for
 mobile. A range on cheap and reasonably powerful tablets has been
 announced by various HW vendors, eg http://www.archos.com
 Is anybody interested in porting QGIS to Android? Does anybody have an idea
 on how difficult this could be? What are the major issues, apart from
 resizing the dialogs? Qt porting is underway:
 http://code.google.com/p/android-lighthouse/ but of course a number of
 dependencies will have to be solved.
 Any opinion?
 All the best.
