Again I want to draw your attention to the Foss4Geo session at the 33rd IGC. The deadline for abstract submission has been extended and is now the 29 February 2008. The 33rd IGC (International Geological Congress - Geosciences World Congress) will take place from 6th to 14th August 2008 in Oslo. It will host a Geoscience Information Super-Session which includes the FOSS4Geo session. To make this session to a success and get much attention for our case we need YOUR contribution. For more information about the 33rd IGC visit http://www.33igc.org For more information about the FOSS4Geo session visit http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_at_IGC2008 (session 4.3: Free and open-source geospatial software: applications in Earth Sciences and recent development.)

As usual, it can be downloaded from the Download section of the web page (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1731&L=2). The problems fixed in this distribution can be checked from the Release Notes Section (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1741&L=2&K=1) and to install the partial update you must have gvSIG 1.1 correctly installed. On the other hand, the pilot application awarded the development contract for the 3D Extension by the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is available too. It allows the creation of 3D Views, XYZ-projected as well as spherical (planetary), where local and remote data sources can be loaded as layers, and displayed using most of the options available in 2D like transparency, labeling, legends, etc. It's available in the Extensions section of the web page (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1835&L=2) and to install this extension you must have correctly installed gvSIG 1.1.1 version. -- Mario Carrera Rodr?guez Grupo SIG-CAD / gvSIG Asistencia t?cnica externa Servicio de Organizaci?n e Inform?tica Conselleria d'Infraestructures i Transport Generalitat Valenciana Valencia (Espa?a) From luca.casagrande at gmail.com Sun Jan 13 11:56:33 2008 From: luca.casagrande at gmail.com (Luca Casagrande) Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 11:56:33 +0100 Subject: [Freegis-list] Monitoring artificial lakes Message-ID: <8d09169d0801130256q6e18bfc9ld4aaa6ed16ba97c4@mail.gmail.com> Hello everybody! For my work post-thesis at University, I have started studying the use of remote sensing for artificial lakes. Anyone knows applications for monitoring small agricultural reservoir using remote sensing (for example water level)? Thank you very much.

To further extend the community driven development, the third deegree day will be held on June 17th 2008 in Bonn. The conference will be open to developers, users and other interested people. The deegree day will provide a platform for exchange and discussion on the deegree project: Developers will present both current and upcoming features while users will show the latest project solutions. You will have the opportunity to discuss pressing open issues in technology, communication, documentation and project organization. We invite you to take part in the conference either with a presentation or a tutorial. Either should be of general interest to the participants of the deegree day and address aspects of the deegree project. Presentations are limited to 20 minutes. Tutorials may take 30 or 45 minutes and should provide technical solutions in a workshop atmosphere, enabling the participants to adopt the contents to their own needs. Please send an abstract of your article/tutorial in English or German language to deegreedaypapers at deegree.org Your short description should not exceed 1000 words and should be handed in by March 15th 2008. The proposals will be evaluated by the programme committee. Accepted papers will be published on-line. If you would like to sponsor the conference or if you have any questions on the conference please contact the organising team at deegreeday2008 at deegree.org More information on the deegree day can be found on-line at http://deegree.org/deegreeday We are looking forward to seeing you in Bonn in June.

The Demo Releases are easy to install software packages and include the official Reference Implementations of the OGC for WMS 1.3, WMS 1.1.1 and WCS 1.0.0. OGC Reference Implementation are 100 % standards-compliant implementations. They are developed with corresponding test suites and serve to "test the tests" as well as to give other implementors insight into a fully compliant software package. The 2.1 Demo Releases of deegree include besides WMS and WCS also a WFS, a Catalogue Service, a Web Perspective View Service for display of 3D geodata and iGeoPortal, a web-based client for OGC Web Services. All six Demo Releases are delivered as so called WAR archives, which can be deployed inside a servlet engine like Apache Tomcat within seconds.
