I'd try OGDI over OGR as Frank W. already suggested. I have experimentally used openmap once, the driver is rudimentary, but I got some VMAP1 data displayed.

I have an 18 acre site which is being developed into an arboretum/display garden. The site has been surveyed and approximately 150 monuments have been set such that all landscape features and all trees, shrubs, and so forth can be located to within a couple of centimeter or so by simply using a tape and measuring their location from any two of the monuments. I assume at some point use of a differential GPS instrument could also serve this purpose...but horticulturalists and gardeners are more traditional folks and like tape measures. The data is entered into an Excel spread sheet and the coordinates are calculated in the State plane coordinates. Other data is also entered concerning the particular object such as a name, size, color, and so forth. The goal is to import the Excel data (plant or landscape feature name, number, bloom time, and so forth) into a mapping program that can display on a monitor or in a print out the data. The desire would be to have the different data types in layers so the print out can emphasize all or various features laid over the basic survey location of the objects. The out put also needs to be available in scales from a full 18 acres to areas as small as 0.005 acre. The print out would have a symbol for the object with printed number or name if the zoomed view and size of the print out permitted. Obviously at larger scales the data points would become gray shading. I certainly will appreciate some suggestion on both freeware and not so freeware that will work for these purposes. If the program will handle all data entry directly and eliminate the need to use the Excel spreadsheet that would be great. The software should be usable on a PC with Windows or Linux. Most things I am seeing under a GIS heading do not appear in their simple descriptions to have one initially creating the 'four corner's of one's own map and then working with it.

There're no shortage of free LISP interpreters for linux -- and presumably the same for Prolog. For one thing, if you use emacs, that's essentially a text editor based on a LISP interpreter. ;) Here're some LISP interpreters and resources that you'll find handy: - CMUCL, http://www.cons.org/cmucl/ - Common LISP cookbook, http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/ - http://clocc.sourceforge.net/ You might also have luck searching freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net for other OSS LISP, and for Prolog interpreters. As an aside, sawfish, the gnome window manager, uses librep, a simple LISP interpreter. http://librep.sourceforge.net/ -- Mark Coletti | mailto:mcoletti at lychnobite.org | http://www.lychnobite.org/ Hellooooooo sysadmin!

It covers a wide field of applications from Earth Observation to local GIS systems. The common themes are Web based solutions to resource discovery, interoperable data access, distributed data services and data fusion. EOGEO is an international event started by the Committee for Earth Observation Satellites - CEOS in 1995. 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://eogeo.net for details. There is a possibility for low-cost rooms at the University. A booking deposit would be required. Please contact Allan Doyle at adoyle at eogeo.org if you are interested. 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.

I have a ton of devices that I have the lat/long coordinates for. What I would like to do is find the corresponding bitmap pixel coordinates for these lat/longs in order to (1) plot my devices on a scaled .gif and (2) generate a web imagemap behind a scaled .gif. So, I've got the lat/longs, I've got a scaled image, I can find several points on the image where I know the lat/longs AND pixel values (if that makes any difference). I assume there is some software that I can write or use to do this or maybe I just need to learn some math.

I have a 500 MB triangular network (TIN) representing a terrain surface than I am trying to intersect with a water surface TIN in order to generate a flood depth surface (also a TIN). Currently the process takes 12 hours. I?m looking for a way to reduce the size (and hence processing time) of the terrain TIN by removing the points and triangles that will have the least impact on the accuracy of the model. The only way I can think to do this at the moment is by converting the TIN to a grid and then back to a TIN with a set maximum number of TIN points. However, I think this is a bad way to do it and will produce a relatively poor approximation of the original TIN. Does anyone have any ideas? Or alternatively, any thoughts on the adequacy of a TIN >> Raster Grid >> TIN method of reducing TIN size?

This is in the hopes of building on the highly successful inaugural MapServer User Meeting held in Minnesota last June. Once again, we will be having a number of workshops and presentations. Details on these will follow in the weeks and months ahead as we finalize a schedule for the event. In the meantime, I invite you to visit the conference website which is available through http://www.omsug.ca. Please check back regularly as there will be a lot of information added in the months ahead. Note that there is an early-bird special for registration before April 30th. For more information please contact Tuan Nguyen at info at omsug.ca or +1 (613) 565-5056 ext. 17. We'd love to hear from you about any suggestions or ideas you may have for the event or the conference website.

Bonus points if this server also supports Basic WFS. ;) No, MapServer doesn't do that... it's one of the few formats that OGR doesn't support.

Usually you have to do 1) georeference your image, meaning that the software will know where each pixel is GRASS can do that, but it might be a bit overkill for the task. Maybe you can do a poor man solution involving step 2. Try so many projectiong, until it roughly fits for the purposes of drawing. 2) project your lat/long coordinates in the map coordinates Your map coordinates are the pixel in this case. A lot of Free Software can do this. E.g. gmt If you did 1) then displaying the points should be easy.

Such statement is not too motivating. Instead of such general judgement concrete comments are preferred (IMHO). Note that above list changed recently.
