Paul --- The FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) conference is pleased to announce the Call for Workshops for the 2007 conference, being held September 24-27 in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. FOSS4G is the premier conference for the open source geospatial community, providing a place for developers, users, and people new to open source geospatial to get a full-immersion experience in both established and leading edge geospatial technologies. This is your chance to showcase your favorite application, integration solution, or other topic. You will use your superior classroom skills to lead a group of attendees through your chosen topic in either a half-day or ninety minute lab or classroom format. Half-day workshops will be delivered on Monday, September 24 (the Workshops day), while the ninety minute workshops will run concurrently with the presentations during the remainder of the conference. While we are open to workshops on a wide range of topics, we strongly encourage workshop submissions on the following topics: * Practical Introduction to ___________ * Interoperability * NeoGeography and NovelGeography * Using a Software Stack * 3D Worlds In the tradition of previous FOSS4G events, we expect that the majority of workshops will be "hands on", with participants seated in front of computers and able to follow along with the instructor, working directly with the software and applications under discussion. Be prepared to spend considerable effort in creating your workshop. Past experience has shown that a high quality workshop requires about three days of preparation for each hour of presentation time. As part of this preparation you will be expected to develop material for attendees to take away with them, such as handouts, a 'workbook', CDROM, etc. In recognition of this effort, workshop presenters will receive a reduction in the price of conference registration: * free registration for delivering a half-day workshop * half-price registration for delivering a 90-minute workshop Because of limited space, you may want to consider submitting two versions of your topic, one for each length format. Please visit the workshops page on our website to download the submission templates and instructions for sending them in: http://www.foss4g2007.org/workshops.html The deadline for workshop submissions is February 28, 2007. Submit early, submit often!

We're going to target Windows CE platform first but we are going to use C/posix as the standard so we can migrate to others. It will be based on other Open Source projects that have been ported to Windows CE like GDAL, GEOS, PROJ.4 and many many other utility libraries like libgd, libpng, libjpeg, etc. So, our project is going to create a kind of framework for further developments for GIS solutions based on Windows CE platform.

MapServer users. Updated version released on 07-01-2007 (first release: May 2003) After over 9000 downloads I added the option to create configuration files for other Web Map Servers like MapServer (http:// mapserver.gis.umn.edu) besides the already supported ArcIMS! You can extend this to other formats by adding new XSLT transformation stylesheets (see below 'Adding other formats') The configuration files for ArcIMS and for MapServer are focussed on creating Open Geospatial Consortium compliant Web Map Services (OGC- WMS). The files generated for MapServer can be customized by editing the "resoures/_MXDtoMap.xsl" file. The default form is particularly focussed on users that publish metadata and services through GeoNetwork opensource (http://geonetwork-opensource.org). This tool converts ArcMap views (all layers in the view) into ArcIMS (ArcXML .axl) and MapServer (.map) configuration files, both for shapefiles and for raster files. The conversion to MapServer is still under development and good improvements are very welcome! I have basically had two problems reported. I hope these are fixed through this release. This release fixes: - Issues with ArcMap 9.2 - Allows you to convert Maps with up to 500 layers instead of 30. Otherwise no changes have been made. This tool is free and open source software released under the LGPL license. You can find the source code at http://sourceforge.net/ projects/arcmaptools I would appreciate an e-mail if you like it ;-) (Jeroen at Ticheler.net) Adding other formats: You can add other output formats by creating XSLT documents that convert the AXL output generated by default. To do this, save the created XSLT in the resources folder and add a format Element to the formats.xml file that contains the parameters needed for that type of configuration file. For example: *.sld Style Layer Description files (*.sld)|*.sld _MXDtoSLD.xsl Good luck, Jeroen Ticheler 07 February 2007 From stephan.holl at intevation.de Thu Feb 8 15:31:59 2007 From: stephan.holl at intevation.de (Stephan Holl) Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 15:31:59 +0100 Subject: [Freegis-list] [ANN]: EDBSilon 0.9.1 released Message-ID: <20070208153159.633f5630@thoe.hq.intevation.de> Hello, the free EDBS- and BZSN transformator EDBSilon is available in a new version.

Um diesen Prozess jetzt zu beschleunigen, macht die GAV eine Mitteilung an alle Interessierten. Das weitere Vorgehen wird in der kommenden Zeit diskutiert und die GAV hofft, in naher Zukunft eine formale, kreative und schlagkr?ftige Struktur mit aufzubauen, die im deutschsprachigen Raum das Ziel "F?rderung Freier GIS-Software und Freier Geodaten" weiter vorantreibt. Gr??e von Georg L?sel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mitteilung der GRASS Anwender-Vereinigung e.V im Zusammenhang der Gr?ndung des Local Chapters Germany der Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) Durch die Gr?ndung der Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) auf Basis des Treffens in Chicago (Illinois) am 4. Februar 2006 hat sich eine weitere wichtige Basis f?r die F?rderung Freier GIS Software und Freier Geodaten etabliert. Die wichtigsten Ziele der OSGeo [1] sind: to support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies and data. provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open source geospatial community. serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be main?tained for public benefit. serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial communi?ty, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project col?laboration. Die Gr?ndung von lokalen Gruppen, so genannten "Chapters", die die Arbeit der OSGeo lokal vor?antreiben, ist ein wichtiger Baustein. Die Ziele der Chapters sind [2]: Bereitstellung eines Netzwerkes f?r die lokalen Mitglieder Kontaktstelle f?r neue Mitglieder und Sponsoren F?hrung eines Regionalb?ros mit Konto, Telefon, Ansprechpartner ?bersetzung von Dokumenten, Inhalten, Webseiten und Lokalisierung von Software (An?passung an ?rtliche Besonderheiten) Erstellung von regionalisierten Software-Paketen Training, Support und Entwicklung von e-Learning Inhalten in der lokalen Sprache F?rderung von offenen Standards und freien Zugang zu r?umlichen Daten im lokalen Umfeld F?rderung der OSGeo Foundation durch Pr?sentationen, Informationsveranstaltungen, Messest?nde In Deutschland besteht die gl?ckliche Situation, dass mit der GRASS-Anwender-Vereinigung e.V. (GAV e.V.) bereits eine Gruppierung vorhanden ist, die sich seit Sommer 2000 genau mit diesen Themen, F?rderung von Freier GIS-Software und Freien Geodaten, besch?ftigt. Die GAV e.V. verfolgt laut Satzung [3] folgende Ziele: Ziel des Vereins ist die F?rderung und Verbreitung freier Geographischer Informationssysteme (GIS) im Sinne Freier Software unter besonderer Ber?cksichtigung des Programmpakets "Geographical Resources Analysis Support System" (GRASS). Dieses beinhaltet folgende Punkte: 1. F?rderung der Bildung, des Meinungsaustauschs und der Zusammenarbeit von Anwendern, Entwicklern und Forschern 2. Weiterentwicklung und Forschung an freien Informationswerken 3. Bereitstellung freier GIS Software und Daten, sowie F?rderung deren Verf?gbarkeit 4. Beitr?ge zur sachkundigen Information der ?ffentlichkeit im T?tigkeitsbereich des Vereins 5. Organisation von Kongressen und allgemein zug?nglichen Vortr?gen 6. Forschung und Diskussion ?ber die Auswirkungen freier Informationswerke auf Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft. Die GAV e.V. er?ffnet auf dem Hintergrund der gemeinsamen Ziele der 2006 gegr?ndeten nordamerikanischen OSGeo die M?glichkeiten einer funk?tionierenden Infrastruktur f?r organisatorische und andere Dinge im deutschsprachigen Raum. Neben der Community der Mitglieder mit ihren vielf?ltigen Ideen und Aktivit?ten sind dies u.a. die for?malen M?glichkeiten eines eingetragenen Vereins (z.B. Aquirierung und Verwaltung von Spenden?geldern). Die GAV e.V. ist der ?berzeugung, der OSGeo durch die Unterst?tzung eines Local Chapters Germany zu helfen, da die Ziele der OSGeo sich mit denen der GAV decken und eine internatio?nale Vernetzung der Sache beider Organisationen sehr hilfreich erscheint. Bereits vor der Formierung eines offiziellen Local Chapters haben sich in Deutschland auf Basis von freiwilligen Absprachen verschiedene gemeinsame Aktivit?ten entwickelt. Die GAV e.V. verwaltet die ?bersch?sse der zur?ckliegenden FOSSGIS Konferenzen und ist im Organisationsteam der FOSSGIS 2007 f?r die finanzielle Abwicklung verantwortlich, gemeinsame Messeauftritte (LinuxTag 2006, AGIT 2006, Open Source Park auf der Intergeo 2006) wurden koordiniert und unterst?tzt. Die GAV.e.V m?chte diese gute Zusammenarbeit weiterf?hren und bietet der OSGeo im Rahmen eines Local Chapters Germany ihre Erfahrung und formalen Strukturen als eingetragener Verein an. Sie wird bei der Formierung eines Local Chapters Germany der OSGeo mitarbeiten. im Namen der GAV e.V.

(Available now in PDF, soon in paper: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/sdgis/) I walk you through setting up a web-based GIS solution step by step. We download free data and free desktop viewers like uDig. We discuss projections and CLI tools like GDAL to reproject your data. We install PostGIS (a spatial database). We install GeoServer and discuss standards-based web interfaces from the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) like WMS and WFS. We wrap up talking about cool JavaScript "Slippy Map" frameworks like MapBuilder and OpenLayers. Both allow your users to drag the maps around in a browser like Google Maps. Good luck with the website. It sounds cool.

If you are considering submitting a workshop proposal, please make your submission before the end of February. All workshop submissions are welcome. More information is available on the Call for Workshops page: http://www.foss4g2007.org/workshops/ When planning your workshop submission, it would be a good idea to check with others who might be thinking about submitting workshops on the same or similar topics. This could be done via discussion with project leads or via relevant discussion lists. Feel free to submit more than one workshop proposal. Proposals could be for different topics, or variations of a proposal tailored to different audiences (e.g. beginner vs advanced). Multiple related proposals could be submitted for a series of workshops that build on each other, such as "Introduction to X", "X for Intermediate Users", "Advanced uses of X". Any questions about the workshop submission process can be asked on the FOSS4G2007 mailing list or on the IRC channel.

I also believe that Q-GIS is the great trick to bring GRASS for the masses. I know a lot of people who gave up GRASS because they are Windows users and found very dificult to install GRASS using Cygwin stuff. regards, Eduardo Patto Kanegae On 2/28/07, Paolo Cavallini wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all. > After some time, I'm closing the poll about most used GRASS user > interface.

Although branded as OSGeo, all open source projects are welcome to be part of it. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the last volume done under the GRASS name, have a look at this: http://osgeo.org/files/news/GRASS_OSGeo_News_vol4.pdf (5.3MB). As you can see it is much more than just some news clippings! Well, now is the time to get a new team together to help make a great production. You are invited to be part of that team! Want some exercise for your writing skills? Would you like to get some more exposure for your project? Want to learn the ins and outs of some publication software? Or do you just want to help spread the word about some projects or case studies that you love? There are several positions available for any volunteer who would help to coordinate collecting articles, writing content, reviewing content, helping with layout or graphics, and more. Want to sign up just for one volume or to test the waters first? That is fine too. Please see the Newsletter wiki page for a list of open positions and categories for content that need editors: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter If you have any ideas, reservations, comments, questions or concerns please just let me or Martin (cc'd) know! As we will all work as a team, please do not be shy about your interests, even if you are going to need some help getting started. After the team is gathered and production deadlines are finalised, then we will make a more general call for contributors. If you already have something that you would like to contribute, you are welcome to sign up now on the page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter_Volume_1 Hope you will join us in putting this together!
