From emanuel at intevation.de Mon Sep 3 17:40:24 2007 From: emanuel at intevation.de (Emanuel =?utf-8?q?Sch=C3=BCtze?=) Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2007 17:40:24 +0200 Subject: [Freegis-list] Thesis about Smart Map Browsing & OpenLayers online Message-ID: <200709031740.25114.emanuel@intevation.de> Hi list, in the last months I wrote my thesis about the new term "Smart Map Browsing" (used for the usability of web mapping applications). One part of the work was the analysis of 11 selected Free web mapping applications and Google Maps. I published the work (available in german and english!) on this website: http://www.smartmapbrowsing.org/index_en.html For the practical part of this thesis I have realized the animated zooming feature for OpenLayers [1]. You find a live demo on my thesis website. The complete subject of the thesis: "Current state of technology and potential of Smart Map Browsing in web browsers - using the example of the Free web mapping application OpenLayers" About me: I studied multimedia technology in Bremen/Germany and I wrote my thesis at the Free software company Intevation GmbH in Osnabrueck/Germany. Special thanks go to the OpenLayers community for your help while my realization of the animated zooming feature! I'm looking forward to getting feedback. Best regards, Emanuel PS: Sorry for cross-posting.

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 ------------------ ITC -> dall'1 marzo 2007 Fondazione Bruno Kessler ITC -> since 1 March 2007 Fondazione Bruno Kessler ------------------ From sgillies at frii.com Thu Sep 6 16:56:37 2007 From: sgillies at frii.com (Sean Gillies) Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:56:37 -0600 Subject: [Freegis-list] Shapely 1.0a2 Message-ID: <46E01525.6090107@frii.com> Shapely is a Python package for programming with geospatial geometries, and provides integration with Numpy (and thereby matplotlib and a number of other packages). It depends upon libgeos_c from GEOS (2.2.3 is best, not well tested with the 3.0alpha). http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Shapely/ If you have setuptools, installation is as simple as: $ sudo easy_install Shapely Cheers, Sean From jan-oliver.wagner at intevation.de Fri Sep 7 11:04:55 2007 From: jan-oliver.wagner at intevation.de (Jan-Oliver Wagner) Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2007 11:04:55 +0200 Subject: [Freegis-list] Sponsoring now transferred to GAV e.V. Message-ID: <200709071104.56094.jan-oliver.wagner@intevation.de> Dear FreeGIS Community, yesterday I switched the PayPal Sponsorhip link: The recipient of payments is now the GAV e.V. (www.grass-verein.de), the well known german organization for Free GIS Software founded in 2001. Intevation GmbH is happy that we now arranged with GAV to have them collect money and spend it for the benefit of Free GIS Software and Free Geodata in general. GAV is independent and tax-exempt. Over 90% of the overall FreeGIS database content has been managed by GAV members in the past. So, now that GAV started to offer financial handling for Free GIS Software/Data activities (e.g. FOSSGIS 2007 in Berlin), it was a logical step for Intevation to hand over the FreeGIS sponsorship. *** Please take this opportunity to sponsor FreeGIS/GAV with any arbitrary amount! *** You may meet and learn more about GAV (i.e. active members) in real life in the near future at FOSS4G (e.g. Markus Neteler is one of the GAV founding members) and at Intergeo fairs in Leipzig/Germany (there will be a GAV booth at the Open Source Park).

It was licensed unter GNU GPL in the absence of a really suitable license. Meanwhile the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project was founded and developed into a real success story. Osnabr?ck was missing entirely and so the natural decision was made to get the Frida dataset into OSM. Technically all is prepared and only needs to be performed finally. In fact I am not sure whether this needs a final formal decision from OSM. However, Intevation now relicenses Frida dataset under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license. This is the license OSM applies for the data.

The symposium provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS and ranging from applications, user interface considerations, and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues. This year, a novelty is that ACM GIS has separated from its long-time host conference in order to become independent and more visible to the GIS community, further expand the spectrum of research topics covered by the symposium, and grow over the next years. ACM GIS will have two invited speakers, 37 full papers and 29 poster papers (see below). ================ Invited Speakers ================ Michael T.

The symposium provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS and ranging from applications, user interface considerations, and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues. This year, a novelty is that ACM GIS has separated from its long-time host conference in order to become independent and more visible to the GIS community, further expand the spectrum of research topics covered by the symposium, and grow over the next years. ACM GIS will have two invited speakers, 37 full papers and 29 poster papers (see below). ================ Invited Speakers ================ Michael T.

As usual, it is available to download in the Downloads section of the web page (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1731&L=2). New features of this version: - Installation: - gvSIG installation includes now JAI 1.1.3. - JCRS Extension: - Now integrated in the installation. - geoDB: - Now integrated in the installation. - Field Calculator: - It automatically fills table fields by calculating from values in the same table or geometry properties like area, length, etc. - Annotation Layer: - It can be generated from feature layers with any kind og geometry, not just points. - A new independent non-virtual layer is created and persisted as shp. - The original layer is not removed from the View. - The table associated to the new shp file contains fields for Text, Font, Color, Height and Rotation. - There is a new menu option “Properties of annotation layer”, where it is possible to choose units (meters or pixels), to draw text only, etc. - In the “Add Layer” dialog, a new tab allows loading of Annotation layers. - The process can eliminate duplicated labels. - The annotation layer can be generated from selected features. - The process can eliminate overlapping labels. - PostGIS: - When exporting to PostGIS, it is possible to specify the database Schema name to save to. - Export to raster: - A raster can be exported, either a complete layer or a selected area, to a TIFF file. -- Mario Carrera Rodríguez Grupo SIG-CAD / gvSIG Asistencia técnica externa Servicio de Organización e Informática Conselleria d'Infraestructures i Transport Generalitat Valenciana Valencia (España)
