Can you explain how the versioning scheme for OpenEV works? Are the FW-release to been seen separate (like some linux kernel "ac"-releases) or is the official version of OpenEV now 1.7.1?

Jan, The OpenEV_FW releases are an alternate series of releases. Gillian's releases on SourceForge are still the "official" releases. I name my release _FW for exactly the same reason Alan Cox's releases were named _ac. I do try to number them to indicate the rough age of code relative to Gillian's official releases. However, I will likely drop that convention if/when I switch to calling the kit FWTools - just maintaining an independent version sequence.

Given that you have asked for US Census blocks, the data might be available as public domain. The algorithm would depend on the data structure. If you are able to parse it and possibly import it into something like PostGIS, you probably can easily build such an application.

It has run annually since then, attracting key developers from around the world. This year EOGEO is to be held in London at the University College London. There will be a small registration fee. Hotel accomodation can be organised by the hosts following a registration process. Please watch http://www.eogeo.org for details. The workshop will cover latest developments and techniques applied to Geospatial systems. Themes of the workshop include : - OGC Services - Web Services The non-OGC world... - Free/Open Source Software Employing FOSS in real-life, issues, problems, solutions... - Catalogs, Directories & Metadata new developments, successes, failures, trends - Semantics & Ontologies - Grass Roots Innovative ideas, new approaches. What are people working on that's cool, revolutionary, anti-establishment? - Mobile/Location Services - Grid Computing Grid/EO, Grid/GIS, Convergence of Grid and Web services - Outreach/Community building The workshop will consist of a mixture of presentation sessions, and poster/demonstrations sessions. The hands-on demonstrations are an important part of EOGEO. Full oral presentations are usually intended for general technical issues of wider interest, while the demonstrations are suitable for work in progress on projects. Authors should indicate which type of contribution they would prefer.

For those of you who have not heard yet, the Ottawa MapServer Users Group is very busy preparing for Open Source GIS (OSGIS) 2004 and 2nd Annual MapServer User Meeting scheduled for June 9-11, 2004 at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. The early bird registration is available only until April 30th (that's this Friday), so please register soon. Not only does this save you some money, it also helps the committee plan for the numbers that we may expect for the big event. As you will see on the conference website (http://www.omsug.ca), some new additions have now been included: - Online Registration is now Available! - We have a number of workshops and presenters committed -- take a look at the conference program for details (http://www.omsug.ca/osgis2004/program.html). This is tentative, but should give you an idea of the kinds of presenters and topics that will be covered. - Our program is not full -- so we're looking to you to give us your suggestions on presentations that you are interested in giving. See the call for presentations for more details. We also want to hear from you about the workshops we have lined up with any suggestions for others you may be interested in. - Thank you to our initial sponsors - Tydac, GIS Monitor and DM Solutions Group. Anyone who is interested in sponsoring and/or exhibiting, please contact us. There is also a bonus for early-bird sponsors before April 30th. Some additional notes: The Open Source GIS 2004 component of the Conference will be focussing on the open source movement within the GIS community, exposure to the many open source technologies in use and development in our community such as OpenEV and Grass, and a stream focussed on management issues for incorporating Open Source in your organization. I encourage all of you to look into participating in this event and help us to get the word out to those using these technologies. If you haven't seen a reference to this in your area ... please pass the message along! Also - the hotel rooms and conference rates are only guaranteed through May 9th, so book your accommodations as soon as possible, as we cannot provide any guarantees beyond this date. Tourist season in Ottawa starts in May/June so booking a hotel late can be tricky. We are eager for any feedback or comments you may have so don't hesitate to contact the committee directly (info at omsug.ca) or provide feedback through the conference website. Only 2 months to go! Looking forward to seeing you all soon here in Ottawa!

This tracks the latest source for OpenEV, GDAL and MapServer but is otherwise essentially unchanged since 1.7.1. o The MapServer build on Windows is now done using a libmap.dll, and includes all the MapServer utilities. o The MapServer build on Linux now includes Python MapScript. o The GDAL build includes CDED 1:50K export capability.

But I didn't find any real evidence. I do not recommend MySQL since if you are using the spatial stuff you loose are feature such as transactions (IIRC). PostGIS/PostgreSQL is the best choice today and widely used.

I hope this is the correct forum to ask this question; if it's not, please excuse me. I'm subscripted for about one day and i don't see any post to the list, so there is mine: I'm looking for pure GNU solution/group of programs/wathever can take a georeferenced city map (this is a CAD/graphic map with the streets name, wheter if they are asphalted or not, roads, traffic way, railways, etc.) and a DB containing some gps-taked points. In my projected app ach point is a customer, so my intention is to use a projector to show a map over the wall at the control room, and ligth on a spot in the location of the customer that has an event. In the movil computers in the cars, i wish to spot the customer location, and the possibles iterations from the point the car is to the customer location. Although there are commercial solutions to this, the company that i work to has near everything over GNU/Free software, so i'm looking inside the field. Can anybody give me advice on this, or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, -- Fernando M.
