<br />
=Housekeeping Procedures=<br />
The Conference Committee uses the following procedures to make decisions.<br />
<br />
==Decisions==<br />
<br />
[[consideration for new selection methods]]<br />
<br />
# Anyone may contribute to conference committee discussions. All votes will be noted, but only conference committee member votes count toward decisions.<br />
# Voting will use convention of:<br />
#* +1 : For<br />
#* +0: Mildly for<br />
#* 0: Indifferent<br />
#* -0: Mildly against<br />
#* -1 : Strongly against. This is expected to be accompanied by a reason and alternative proposal.<br />
# Everyday topics will be decided by an open vote of all members in a clearly designated separate mail thread over a minimum of 2 business days with a minimum participation of 3 votes.<br />
# For major decisions, such as conference venue selection, a minimum of one week shall be allocated to try and ensure at least 50% voter participation.<br />
# The committee aims for consensus, and will specifically attempt to address all -1 votes, but will revert to a majority vote where necessary.<br />
# The result will be clearly declared afterwards.<br />
# Secret voting, when required, will use an online voting service or use an email to an independent teller appointed by CC Chair.<br />
<br />
==FOSS4G Selection==<br />
<br />
# All Letters of Intent and subsequent proposals will be posted to the list for open comment by all. <br />
# The selection of the winning proposal is by secret vote of conference committee members.<br />
# The OSGeo Board will be requested to ratify the conference committee’s recommendation.<br />
# Any committee member who has a potential conflict of interest is expected to withdraw from voting. A member of the committee who is part of a bidding team, intends to become part of the LOC or is employed by a company playing an active part in a bid should exclude themselves from voting in the selection process. In the event of a disagreement regarding a potential conflict of interest the committee chair has the authority to make a decision.<br />
<br />
=== Changes in RfP Document for 2021 ===<br />
* At least at the letters-of-intent stage there should always be a voting option of "None of the above". Otherwise there's no point in having a vote if there's only one letter, also this allows for the (unlikely) event of all letters being rubbish.<br />
* Bids should be scored based on various pre-defined criterion. Current voting by the committee seems to include a "where I want to go on holiday" component which has no place in a process like this. This is in keeping with the "openness" goal of OSGeo as compared to the current Star Chamber-like voting.<br />
* Further to the above, a list of objective mandatory criterion can be specified as required. I.e. "Venue must be able to host X people", "must be at least Y tracks", "Must be accessible via both local and national public transport", etc.<br />
<br />
==FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme==<br />
<br />
The FOSS4G TGP was started in 2017 with funding from the OSGeo Board and a crowd funding initiative. The Conference Committee is tasked with managing this grant programme for the Global FOSS4G and for any Regional FOSS4G's that request assistance<br />

<br />
=== Setting up a FOSS4G TGP ===<br />
<br />
Some guidance notes are available in the [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook | FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook]]<br />
<br />
==Membership==<br />
<br />
# To ensure voting control for key decisions remains with experienced people, the committee aims for more than 50% of members to be chairs (or vice chairs) of past FOSS4G global events. The chair of the most recent FOSS4G event will automatically be invited to become a member but still requires a motion and vote.<br />
# The conference committee aims to retain a chair or vice-chair from the 5 most recent global FOSS4G conferences.<br />
# The remaining membership, less than 50% of members, is open, ideally attracting chairs or LOC members from past Global or Regional FOSS4G or related conferences.<br />
# Each year, prior to releasing the Global FOSS4G RfP, the membership list shall be re-visited.<br />
## Existing members shall be asked whether they wish to continue on the committee. If a member doesn't respond, after a number of attempts to contact them, they shall be retired.<br />
## Interested people may be suggested, or request to be voted onto the conference committee.<br />
## If less than 50% of membership would be past global FOSS4G chair/vice chairs, then non global FOSS4G chair/vice chair positions shall be up for re-election.<br />
## Election of conference committee members is by secret vote by the existing conference committee and board members who are not already members of the conference committee. Voters will vote Yes/No/Abstain for each candidate. Voters may select "Yes" for up to the number of positions available.<br />
# Votes will be secret either using an online voting system or by email to a designated teller who is not a voter. The mechanism will be selected by the committee chair.<br />

<div>This page details all of the Conference Reports that were previously included in the FOSS4G Request for Proposals (RfP) document. It has been copied from that document and still needs a lot of formatting (I have formatted the 2014 report to provide an example). Tables have not been copied across<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
Use this space for your suggestions for future OSGeo conferences.<br />
<br />
<br />
It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc.<br />
We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great.<br />
Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z?<br />
<br />
<br />
I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above.<br />
The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report.<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
• OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee.<br />
• Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops).<br />
• Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders.<br />
• 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies.<br />
• Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized.<br />
• Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation.<br />

* we gave registrants the ability to choose their top 4 workshops to attend<br />
* we made sure each night had a social event, even if it was just an arranged place to meet at after hours, and this made the conference a success (in terms of feedback)<br />
* we used a LIVECD for the Linux workshops<br />
* our downfall financially is that we started looking for sponsors too late<br />
* we had a special student registration price, and this was very popular<br />
* our venue costs were very high because we had to rent the space from the university<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
Use this space for your suggestions for future OSGeo conferences.<br />
<br />
<br />
It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc.<br />
We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great.<br />
Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z?<br />
<br />
<br />
I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above.<br />
The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report.<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
• OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee.<br />
• Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops).<br />
• Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders.<br />
• 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies.<br />
• Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized.<br />
• Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation.<br />

== Suggestions ==<br />
<br />
* we provided transportation from hotel to conference, and this is a requirement for future conferences<br />
* we gave registrants the ability to choose their top 4 workshops to attend<br />
* we made sure each night had a social event, even if it was just an arranged place to meet at after hours, and this made the conference a success (in terms of feedback)<br />
* we used a LIVECD for the Linux workshops<br />
* our downfall financially is that we started looking for sponsors too late<br />
* we had a special student registration price, and this was very popular<br />
* our venue costs were very high because we had to rent the space from the university<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
Use this space for your suggestions for future OSGeo conferences.<br />
<br />
<br />
It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc.<br />
We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great.<br />
Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z?<br />
<br />
<br />
I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above.<br />
The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report.<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
• OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee.<br />
• Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops).<br />
• Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders.<br />
• 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies.<br />
• Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized.<br />
• Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation.<br />

== Suggestions ==<br />
<br />
* we provided transportation from hotel to conference, and this is a requirement for future conferences<br />
* we gave registrants the ability to choose their top 4 workshops to attend<br />
* we made sure each night had a social event, even if it was just an arranged place to meet at after hours, and this made the conference a success (in terms of feedback)<br />
* we used a LIVECD for the Linux workshops<br />
* our downfall financially is that we started looking for sponsors too late<br />
* we had a special student registration price, and this was very popular<br />
* our venue costs were very high because we had to rent the space from the university<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
Use this space for your suggestions for future OSGeo conferences.<br />
<br />
<br />
It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc.<br />
We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great.<br />
Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z?<br />
<br />
<br />
I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above.<br />
The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report.<br />

Suggestions<br />
<br />
• OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee.<br />
• Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops).<br />
• Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders.<br />
• 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies.<br />
• Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized.<br />
• Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation.<br />

* we gave registrants the ability to choose their top 4 workshops to attend<br />
* we made sure each night had a social event, even if it was just an arranged place to meet at after hours, and this made the conference a success (in terms of feedback)<br />
* we used a LIVECD for the Linux workshops<br />
* our downfall financially is that we started looking for sponsors too late<br />
* we had a special student registration price, and this was very popular<br />
* our venue costs were very high because we had to rent the space from the university<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) is awarded<br />
annually by OSGeo to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS community. <br />
Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance <br />
open source ideals in the geospatial realm. The hope is that the award will both <br />
acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, <br />
for years to come.<br />
<br />
== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />

Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />

<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).<br />

<br />
== Scope ==<br />
* This wiki page summarises relevant facts about DOI and related persistent Identifiers (PID) for the OSGeo communities. <br />
* A DOI is a persistent identifier (PID). <br />
* More infomation about PID for OSGeo is available [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid) here] in the wiki<br />
<br />
== Useful background information ==<br />

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20210421042731/https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/c.php?g=827885&p=5911103 DOI registration 101 @ UC Berkeley (wayback machine memento)]<br />
* [https://about.zenodo.org/ Introduction to the Zenodo open access repository]<br />
* [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]<br />
<br />
== HowTo information about ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID -> a PID for people) ==<br />
<br />
* [https://info.orcid.org/researcher-faq/ ORCID FAQ]<br />
* [https://vimeo.com/97150912 ORDID introduction video]<br />

<br />
== Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]) ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===<br />
<br />
''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".<br />
<br />
After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''<br />
<br />
=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===<br />
<br />
''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."<br />
''<br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===<br />
<br />
''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''<br />
<br />
=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===<br />
<br />
''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''<br />
<br />
=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===<br />
<br />
''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''<br />
<br />
=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===<br />
<br />
''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.<br />
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''<br />
<br />
=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===<br />
<br />
''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.<br />
<br />
Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.<br />
<br />
If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''<br />

<br />
<br />
=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===<br />
<br />
''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".<br />
<br />
After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''<br />
<br />
=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===<br />
<br />
''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."<br />
''<br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===<br />
<br />
''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''<br />
<br />
=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===<br />
<br />
''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''<br />
<br />
=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===<br />
<br />
''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''<br />
<br />
=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===<br />
<br />
''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.<br />
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''<br />
<br />
=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===<br />
<br />
''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.<br />
<br />
Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.<br />
<br />
If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2023 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2022 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2022 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />

The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) is awarded<br />
annually by OSGeo to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS community. <br />
Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance <br />
open source ideals in the geospatial realm. The hope is that the award will both <br />
acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, <br />
for years to come.<br />
<br />
== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2022 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day May 26th [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2022 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day June 2nd [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2022 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. <br />
<br />
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.<br />
<br />
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .<br />
<br />
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day June 2nd [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2023 event in Prizren, Kosovo. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.<br />

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was<br />
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew<br />
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US<br />
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.<br />
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College<br />
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married<br />
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in<br />
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years<br />
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down <br />
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in <br />
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two<br />
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his<br />
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,<br />
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan<br />
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for<br />
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source ===<br />
<br />
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in <br />
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, <br />
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]<br />
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open <br />
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator<br />
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files<br />
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much <br />
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities <br />
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on<br />
in the GFOSS world.<br />

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).<br />

'''8:30 AM - 9:00 AM - Doors Open/Registration''' <br />
<br />
'''9:00 AM - 9:05 AM - Opening Remarks - David Wright, Dean of Research & Graduate Education, College of Arts & Sciences'''<br />
<br />
'''9:05 AM - 9:10 AM - Welcome from Organizers - Natalie Robbins, Stacy Curry-Johnson, & Randal Hale'''<br />
<br />
'''9:10 - 9:50 Serve Data, Not Services - Howard Butler - Hobu, Inc'''<br />
<br />
Gone are the days of buying a 2U server and sticking it in a rack in a closet next to an air conditioner. What was once organizational excess compute capacity to provide on-demand network services is now metered and measured in the cloud by the same administration that inventories the office supply cabinet. Excessive middleware is decidedly out of fashion, and concepts like Cloud Native Geospatial, with its focus on cloud optimized formats and JSON metadata to drive desktop and cloud applications alike are taking hold. Howard Butler, president of Hobu, Inc. and leader of the PDAL software project, will talk about formats, organization, federation, archive, and frustration in the process of getting data to and from the cloud.<br />
<br />
Howard Butler is the founder and president of Hobu, Inc., an open source software consultancy located in Iowa City, Iowa that focuses on point cloud data management solutions. He is an active participant in the ASPRS LAS Committee, a Project Steering Committee member of both the PROJ and GDAL open source software projects, a contributing author to the GeoJSON specification, creator of the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and a past member of the OSGeo Board of Directors. With his firm, Howard leads the development of the PDAL and Entwine open source point cloud processing and organization software libraries.<br />

'''11:00AM-11:10AM BREAK'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''11:10AM - 11:30AM - Mapping Social Determinants of Health with TidyCensus - Dr. Dottington Fullwood'''<br />
<br />
US Census data provides a multitude of variables to describe population-level characteristics at various geographic entities. Tidycensus developed by Kyle Walker allows data scientists to get simple feature geometry in a tidyverse-ready dataframe to visualize a select number of US Census Bureau's data. This presentation purpose will provide a broad overview of how to use pre-pared Census data for data exploration across census tracts, counties, and block groups.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''11:30AM to 11:50AM Mergin Maps for Archaeology, a QGIS workflow for field recording at the Vaughn Home Excavations, Vanderbilt University. - Giles Spence Morrow and Steven Wernke''' <br />
<br />
Methods of data collection in archaeological fieldwork settings vary as widely as the contexts themselves. Quite apart from core research questions, logistical and environmental conditions often guide how data is collected from archaeological contexts. The last decade of research has seen increasing interest in moving beyond analog documentation through personal notebooks and standardized paper forms to digital native data collection via iPads. With the advent of mobile GIS applications, on-site spatial documentation is now becoming a viable option in the field, allowing for real time data collection and collaboration across multiple members of an excavation project. The current paper outlines our ongoing use of the MerginMaps / Input App during the archaeological excavations at the Vaughn Home, one of the original faculty houses on Vanderbilt University’s campus. We will present our database structure and current workflow that integrates the MerginMaps plugin for QGIS to incorporate photogrammetric orthomosaics and LiDAR-based models created in the field. We highlight both the challenges faced and successes realized in our use of MerginMaps in our archaeological application of the software, with hopes of prompting discussion on future directions for development in relation to the integration of three-dimensional spatial data in the form of GLB models.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''11:50AM -12:10PM STAC software, now and looking forward - Peter Gadomski'''<br />
<br />
A tour through the current state of the software ecosystem around the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC), and some discussion about future plans and roadmaps.<br />
<br />
'''12:10 to 1:00 - LUNCH'''<br />
<br />
'''1:00PM - 1:20PM - Vector Mosaicking with GeoServer - Joseph Miller'''<br />
<br />
The vector mosaic datastore is a new feature in GeoServer that allows indexing many smaller vector stores (e.g., shapefiles, FlatGeoBuf) and serving them as a single, seamless data source. This has the advantage of cost savings when dealing with very large amounts of data in the cloud, as blob storage bills at a fraction of an equivalent database. It is also faster for specific use cases, e.g, when extracting a single file from a large collection and rendering it fully (e.g. tractor tracks in a precision farming application). This happens because the file splitting de-facto imposes an efficient data partitioning, and shapefile access excels at returning the whole set of features (as opposed to a subset).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1:20PM - 1:40PM - OpenStreetMap: The Community Behind Your Open Map Data - Maggie Cawley''' <br />
<br />
What motivates over 1.5 million people to add details to a single map? From improving Lyft user experience to saving lives during humanitarian crises, OpenStreetMap is an open source project that has altered the geospatial data landscape by providing free, editable open data to people all over the world. This talk provides an overview of the OpenStreetMap project, covers a few of its almost limitless use cases, and provides a behind the scenes look at the community driving the movement.<br />
<br />
'''1:40PM - 2:00PM Using OSMnx to download global geospatial data - Matt Travis'''<br />
<br />
At addresscloud we've been looking at ways to programmatically download the building footprints from OpenStreetMap (OSM) for various global cities. To do this we leveraged the awesome power of OSMnx, a simple yet effective python script that allows the user to extract not only real-world street networks but other geometries that exist in OSM. is built on top of geopandas. This presentation will talk about what's possible with OSMnx and demo its capabilities<br />
<br />
'''2:00PM - 2:10PM BREAK'''<br />
<br />
'''2:10PM to 2:30PM Extending GeoNode to Support Crowdsourced Historical Map Georeferencing - Adam Cox'''<br />
<br />
For my master's thesis at Louisiana State University, I created a public web platform for crowdsourced georeferencing of historical maps. I decided to build from the geospatial content management system GeoNode, creating my own extension that allowed users to georeference GeoNode content in the browser, turning scanned documents into geospatial layers. To test it all out, I hosted the platform on oldinsurancemaps.net and solicited public participation. I connected it to the Sanborn map collection at the Library of Congress and participants georeferenced 140 volumes (1,500 individual sheets) of fire insurance maps from all across Louisiana. In this presentation I will describe my experience with GeoNode, show some results from the pilot project, and conclude with an update on where I've been taking the project recently<br />
<br />
'''2:30PM to 2:50PM - OSGeoLive Tour Q&A - Brian Hamlin'''<br />

'''10:00AM - 10:20AM - What's new in the Second Edition of Discovering QGIS 3.x - Kurt Menke'''<br />
<br />
The Second Edition of Discover QGIS 3.x was published in August of 2022. The book is current to QGIS 3.26, includes 7 new chapters and a lot of new material. In this talk I will go through all the changes and what you will find in the Second Edition!<br />
<br />
'''10:20AM - 10:40AM - Cartography for Academic Journal Figures & Books - Michelle Tobias'''<br />
<br />
How do you communicate nuanced academic research in a post-it sized map? Making map figures for academic publications such as journal articles and books requires a different set of skills from making other maps. Space, color palette, and fonts are usually extremely limited and if you don't meet the requirements, you risk the journal staff editing your work which can alter data. In this talk, I will discuss how to find and understand art specifications from publishers and how to create maps that fit these specifications. I will also discuss communicating effectively through small maps with limited color palettes. Demonstrations will take place in QGIS.<br />
<br />
'''10:40-11:00 am- OpenRiverCam: open-source and free software to measure river flows with video recordings - Hessel Winsemius & Stephen Mather'''<br />
<br />
pyOpenRiverCam is a fully open-source, user-friendly, low cost and sustainable python API to estimate river surface velocities and cross-section river flows. It is ideal to measure pre- and post-river restoration effectiveness, flows around infrastructure, and establish and maintain river rating curves (relationships between geometry and river discharge) in small to medium sized streams. The software is co-designed with practitioners from The Netherlands (Waterboard Limburg and KNMI) and Tanzania (Wami - Ruvu Basin Authority and TMA) and inputs from several users in the hydrometry and geospatial world. <br />
We will show and demonstrate the methods in pyOpenRiverCam (see https://github.com/localdevices/pyorc). The library performs lens calibration, image enhancement, stabilization, orthorectification, velocity estimation (with Particle Image Velocimetry), spurious velocity filtering discharge estimation, and intuitive plotting and exports in geographical projection or camera perspective, all through a highly intuitive Application Programming Interface. Validation shows a remarkable resemblance of estimated velocities against in-situ Ott mill observations. Application during the 2021 flood event in Limburg led to a full set of rating points (relationship between discharge and water level) within one single event. Full documentation is underway on https://openrivercam.org/ and first designs of an operational dashboard built on top are being made.<br />
pyOpenRiverCam makes it possible to include OpenRiverCam methods in university curricula, or use it in research into enhancements or applications, as its methods are fully open, transparent, and easy to use. First cases for uptake in scientific education and research are taking place in the Netherlands, where pyOpenRiverCam is used in MSc studies and piloted with Rijkswaterstaat for several use cases, investigations on applicability of the method for flash flood monitoring in the Philippines. A first introduction with hands-on experience was provided to several stakeholders in Zambia, such as the University of Zambia, and the Water Resources Management Authority. We welcome use, feedback and contributions.<br />
<br />

'''9:10 - 9:50 Serve Data, Not Services - Howard Butler - Hobu, Inc'''<br />
<br />
Gone are the days of buying a 2U server and sticking it in a rack in a closet next to an air conditioner. What was once organizational excess compute capacity to provide on-demand network services is now metered and measured in the cloud by the same administration that inventories the office supply cabinet. Excessive middleware is decidedly out of fashion, and concepts like Cloud Native Geospatial, with its focus on cloud optimized formats and JSON metadata to drive desktop and cloud applications alike are taking hold. Howard Butler, president of Hobu, Inc. and leader of the PDAL software project, will talk about formats, organization, federation, archive, and frustration in the process of getting data to and from the cloud.<br />
<br />
Howard Butler is the founder and president of Hobu, Inc., an open source software consultancy located in Iowa City, Iowa that focuses on point cloud data management solutions. He is an active participant in the ASPRS LAS Committee, a Project Steering Committee member of both the PROJ and GDAL open source software projects, a contributing author to the GeoJSON specification, creator of the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and a past member of the OSGeo Board of Directors. With his firm, Howard leads the development of the PDAL and Entwine open source point cloud processing and organization software libraries.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''11:30AM to 11:50AM Mergin Maps for Archaeology, a QGIS workflow for field recording at the Vaughn Home Excavations, Vanderbilt University. - Giles Spence Morrow and Steven Wernke''' <br />
<br />
Methods of data collection in archaeological fieldwork settings vary as widely as the contexts themselves. Quite apart from core research questions, logistical and environmental conditions often guide how data is collected from archaeological contexts. The last decade of research has seen increasing interest in moving beyond analog documentation through personal notebooks and standardized paper forms to digital native data collection via iPads. With the advent of mobile GIS applications, on-site spatial documentation is now becoming a viable option in the field, allowing for real time data collection and collaboration across multiple members of an excavation project. The current paper outlines our ongoing use of the MerginMaps / Input App during the archaeological excavations at the Vaughn Home, one of the original faculty houses on Vanderbilt University’s campus. We will present our database structure and current workflow that integrates the MerginMaps plugin for QGIS to incorporate photogrammetric orthomosaics and LiDAR-based models created in the field. We highlight both the challenges faced and successes realized in our use of MerginMaps in our archaeological application of the software, with hopes of prompting discussion on future directions for development in relation to the integration of three-dimensional spatial data in the form of GLB models.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''11:50AM -12:10PM STAC software, now and looking forward - Peter Gadomski'''<br />

<br />
'''12:10 to 1:00 - LUNCH'''<br />
<br />
'''1:00PM - 1:20PM - Vector Mosaicking with GeoServer - Joseph Miller'''<br />
<br />
The vector mosaic datastore is a new feature in GeoServer that allows indexing many smaller vector stores (e.g., shapefiles, FlatGeoBuf) and serving them as a single, seamless data source. This has the advantage of cost savings when dealing with very large amounts of data in the cloud, as blob storage bills at a fraction of an equivalent database. It is also faster for specific use cases, e.g, when extracting a single file from a large collection and rendering it fully (e.g. tractor tracks in a precision farming application). This happens because the file splitting de-facto imposes an efficient data partitioning, and shapefile access excels at returning the whole set of features (as opposed to a subset).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1:20PM - 1:40PM - OpenStreetMap: The Community Behind Your Open Map Data - Maggie Cawley''' <br />
<br />
What motivates over 1.5 million people to add details to a single map? From improving Lyft user experience to saving lives during humanitarian crises, OpenStreetMap is an open source project that has altered the geospatial data landscape by providing free, editable open data to people all over the world. This talk provides an overview of the OpenStreetMap project, covers a few of its almost limitless use cases, and provides a behind the scenes look at the community driving the movement.<br />
<br />
'''1:40PM - 2:00PM Using OSMnx to download global geospatial data - Matt Travis'''<br />
<br />
At addresscloud we've been looking at ways to programmatically download the building footprints from OpenStreetMap (OSM) for various global cities. To do this we leveraged the awesome power of OSMnx, a simple yet effective python script that allows the user to extract not only real-world street networks but other geometries that exist in OSM. is built on top of geopandas. This presentation will talk about what's possible with OSMnx and demo its capabilities<br />
<br />
'''2:00PM - 2:10PM BREAK'''<br />
<br />
'''2:10PM to 2:30PM Extending GeoNode to Support Crowdsourced Historical Map Georeferencing - Adam Cox'''<br />
<br />
For my master's thesis at Louisiana State University, I created a public web platform for crowdsourced georeferencing of historical maps. I decided to build from the geospatial content management system GeoNode, creating my own extension that allowed users to georeference GeoNode content in the browser, turning scanned documents into geospatial layers. To test it all out, I hosted the platform on oldinsurancemaps.net and solicited public participation. I connected it to the Sanborn map collection at the Library of Congress and participants georeferenced 140 volumes (1,500 individual sheets) of fire insurance maps from all across Louisiana. In this presentation I will describe my experience with GeoNode, show some results from the pilot project, and conclude with an update on where I've been taking the project recently<br />

MapServer 2009 SOC Ideas

* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2009 Ideas]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
= MapServer 2009 SoC Ideas = <br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT NOTE: This is just a copy of the 2008 page. It still needs to be edited for 2009'''<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
Enter ideas for development projects here. Note these are just suggestions - students are welcome to propose projects based on their own interests that relate to MapServer. <br />
<br />
== Apache Module/MSAPI Module Support ==<br />
<br />
While MapServer currently does support FastCGI, it would be beneficial to support tighter integration with the two most popular webserver platforms- Apache and Microsoft IIS.<br />
<br />
== Support for reading SVG symbols ==<br />
<br />
Add support for SVG as an alternate method to define vector symbols in a MapServer symbolset.<br />
<br />
== Performance improvements for labelcache and MINDISTANCE processing ==<br />
<br />
This is a proposal to redesign the labelcache processing from an O(N*N) process to an O(N) process. It would use a raster buffer for label collision detection and has the possibility for some other spin-off features like label placement with avoidance. Below is a draft RFC Proposal for this feature that provides more information.<br />
<br />
[[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2007-October/004454.html RFC Proposal]]<br />
<br />
== Tilted Prespective Map View similar to that used in many GPS devices ==<br />
<br />
A discussion of this was had in February 2008 on the Mapserver-Dev list, see the link below. There clearly is interest in supporting this but it needs some additional discussion, research and an appropriate sizing to a SoC task. On the trivial side it might be as simple as figuring out how to make mapserver work with proj4 parameters, which is clearly not a SoC project. On the other side it might mean implementing another render within mapserver what has a lot of cool features and my be larger in scope than a SoC project.<br />
<br />
[[http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573 http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573]]<br />
<br />
== Output Support for KML ==<br />
<br />
Implement an output driver in MapServer to generate KML output for use with Google Earth, using an approach similar to the current Flash (SWF) and SVG output drivers.<br />
<br />
== Binary persistence support ==<br />
<br />
This addition requires to develop a binary writer/reader implementation to serialize/deserialize the mapscript objects individually and to support reading/writing the entire mapfile in binary format. This option would result in a performance increment when loading the mapfiles and avoid the parser lock for the multi-threaded applications. The implementor should also create a console application to support converting between the current and the binary mapfile formats.<br />
<br />
== MapScript C# multithreaded test environment ==<br />
<br />
The student should create a multithreaded C# test application that would provide automated execution of various pluggable mapscript tests by simulating an ASP.NET style multithreading environment. The application would allow to specify various test parameters like the thread pool size, test execution sequence and timings. The student should implement a fair amount of mapscript test cases to cover the most fundamental parts of the API.<br />
<br />
== Other Ideas: ==<br />
<br />
The following MapServer-dev thread outlines a few possible ideas, without providing much details:<br />
[[http://www.nabble.com/Fwd%3A--OSGeo-Discuss--Google-Summer-of-Code-2008-tt15614123.html#a15614123 http://www.nabble.com/Fwd%3A--OSGeo-Discuss--Google-Summer-of-Code-2008-tt15614123.html#a15614123]]<br />
<br />
= Mentor Candidates =<br />
<br />
The following individuals are potentially willing to serve as MapServer mentors or co-mentors. <br />
<br />
* Frank Warmerdam<br />
* Stephen Woodbridge<br />
* Stephen Lime (KML and label cache improvements) <br />
* Assefa Yewondwossen (KML)<br />
* Tamas Szekeres (binary persistence, C# multithreaded tests)<br />
* Thomas Bonfort (Tilted Perspective)<br />
* Daniel Morissette<br />

'''Sortie de MapServer 5.0'''<br />
<br />
Seattle, Washington, USA, le 19 juillet — La fondation Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) a annoncée aujourd'hui que la version 5.0 de la plateforme web open source MapServer est maintenant disponible pour téléchargement à partir du site du projet (mapserver.gis.umn.edu).<br />
<br />
MapServer 5.0 est la première version majeure depuis la version 4.10 en juillet 2003. Depuis lors il y a eut des versions régulières tous les 6 mois environ, c'est la première fois que les développeurs ont jugé que le nouvel ensemble de fonctionnalités a justifié l'étiquette de "version principale". La nouvelle version inclut des dizaines de correction de petits bugs, améliorations des performances et des fonctionnalités. Entre autre caractéristiques : <br />
<br />
Among the new features are: style and label attribute attribute binding; lookup table-based raster color correction; dynamic charting (pie and bar); explicit label prioritizing; enhanced debugging and logging; dynamic allocation for layers, classes, styles and symbols; improved memory management and garbage collection for MapScript.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important new feature is support for map rendering using the Anti-grain Geometry (AGG) graphics library (www.antigrain.com). AGG brings high quality 2-D rendering capabilities to MapServer that will allow users to create maps with vastly improved cartographic quality. Equally important is that using AGG results in a minimal reduction in performance. All symbology supported by the default GD (www.libgd.org) graphics library are also supported using AGG. The development team is excited about the future possibilities of bringing high-end cartography to on-demand web mapping.<br />
<br />
'''À propos de MapServer'''<br />
<br />
MapServer is an open source development environment for building spatially-enabled web mapping applications and services. It is fast, flexible, reliable and can be integratated into just about any GIS environment. Originally developed at the University of Minnesota, MapServer is now maintained by developers around the world.<br />
<br />
MapServer runs on all major operating systems and will work with almost any web server. MapServer features MapScript, a powerful scripting environment that supports many popular languages including PHP, Python, Perl, C# and Java. Using MapScript makes it fast and easy to build complex geospatial web applications.<br />
<br />
'''À propos de la fondation Open Source Geospatial'''<br />
<br />

<br />
MapServer 5.0 Released<br />
<br />
St. Paul, MN, USA, Sept. 21st — The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) announced today that version 5.0 of the open source web mapping platform MapServer is now available for download from the project website (mapserver.gis.umn.edu).<br />
<br />
MapServer 5.0 is the first major release release since version 4.0 in July of 2003. While there have been regular releases every 6 months or so this is the first time developers felt the new feature set warranted the "major release" label. The new version includes dozens of small bug fixes, enhancements and performance improvements. Among the new features are: style and label attribute attribute binding; lookup table-based raster color correction; dynamic charting (pie and bar); explicit label prioritizing; enhanced debugging and logging; dynamic allocation for layers, classes, styles and symbols; improved memory management and garbage collection for MapScript; numerous improvements for OGC service support.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important new feature is support for map rendering using the Anti-grain Geometry (AGG) graphics library (www.antigrain.com). AGG brings high quality 2-D rendering capabilities to MapServer that will allow users to create maps with vastly improved cartographic quality. Equally important is that using AGG results in a minimal reduction in performance in many cases. All symbology supported by the default GD (www.libgd.org) graphics library are also supported using AGG. The development team is excited about the future possibilities of bringing high-end cartography to on-demand web mapping.<br />
<br />
About MapServer<br />
<br />
MapServer is an open source development environment for building spatially-enabled web mapping applications and services. It is fast, flexible, reliable and can be integrated into just about any GIS environment. Originally developed at the University of Minnesota, MapServer is now maintained by developers around the world.<br />
<br />
MapServer runs on all major operating systems and will work with almost any web server. MapServer features MapScript, a powerful scripting environment that supports many popular languages including PHP, Python, Perl, C# and Java. Using MapScript makes it fast and easy to build complex geospatial web applications.<br />

Konstruktion von Diagrammen mit dem UMN MapServer 5.0
2022-09-02T19:01:18Z
<p>Jmckenna: </p>
<hr />
<div>Dieses Dokument erläutert die dynamische Konstruktion von Kreissektoren- und Balkendiagrammen im UMN MapServer 5.0.<br />
<br />
Diese Anleitung setzt Grundkenntnisse in UMN MapServer-Anwendungen und dem Erstellen einer Map-Datei voraus.<br />
<br />
==Einleitung==<br />
<br />
Seit der Version 5.0 existiert mit dem neuen Layertyp CHART eine komfortable Möglichkeit automatisch Kreissektoren- oder Balkendiagramme auf der Basis von Sachdaten zu erzeugen. Dieser Layertyp ist auf punkt-, linien- und flächenhaften Daten anwendbar. I.d.R. werden Balken- und Kreissektorendiagramme in der thematischen Kartographie nur auf Punkt- und Flächenobjekten angewandt. Es lassen sich nun recht einfach thematische Karten vom Typ Standortdiagrammkarte und Flächendiagrammkarte erzeugen.<br />
Bei linienhaften Objekten können quantitative Attributwerte über verschiedene Linienbreiten dargestellt werden. Dies ergibt eine Liniendiagrammkarte.<br />
Zur Erstellung der Diagramme werden Vektordaten mit dazugehörigen Sachdaten in einer Attributtabelle verwendet.<br />
<br />
==Unterstützte Bibliotheken==<br />
<br />
Der Layertyp CHART wird im UMN MapServer von der GD- und der AGG-Bibliothek unterstützt. Die Ausgabe mittels AGG bietet jedoch eine qualitativ bessere Darstellung, besonders bei Kreisdiagrammen aufgrund des generellen Antialiasing. <br />
Eine Ausgabe der Diagramme in anderen Formaten, wie PDF, SWF oder SVG, die mit anderen Bibliotheken erstellt werden, ist nicht möglich.<br />
<br />
[[Image:gd.png|GD-Output]] [[Image:agg.png|AGG-Output]]<br />
<br />
''Output mit '''GD''' und '''AGG'''''<br />
<br />
==Kreissektorendiagramme==<br />
<br />
Diagramme werden in einem gesonderten LAYER vom Typ CHART erzeugt. Der Diagramtyp und die Diagrammgröße werden über PROCESSING-Parameter bestimmt. <br />
Für jeden Kreissektor im Diagramm wird ein CLASS-Block angelegt. Im dazugehörigen STYLE-Block wird dann mit SIZE [Attributname] auf den jeweiligen Wert in der Attributtabelle verwiesen. Mit diesem Wert wird dynamisch die Größe (der Winkel) des entsprechenden Kreissektors erzeugt.<br />
<br />
Folgende Übersicht erläutert den Aufbau näher:<br />
<br />
LAYER<br />
TYPE CHART<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_TYPE=PIE" # Diagrammtyp, voreingestellt ist PIE für Kreissektorendiagramme<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_SIZE=30" # Größe (Durchmesser) der Diagramme in Pixel<br />
…<br />
CLASS<br />
NAME "Text" # Erläuterung bzw. Name des Kreissektors, der in der Legende erscheint<br />
STYLE<br />
SIZE [Attributname] # gibt an, aus welcher Spalte der Attributtabelle die Sachdaten zur Erzeugung der Sektorengrößen <br />
# benutzt werden sollen<br />
COLOR r g b # Farbe, mit der der Kreissektor gefüllt wird<br />
OUTLINECOLOR r g b # wenn angegeben, wird eine Umrandungslinie um den Kreissektor gezeichnet<br />
WIDTH w # Breite der Umrandungslinie in Pixel, wenn OUTLINECOLOR spezifiziert wurde<br />
OFFSET a b # ’a’ gibt die Anzahl der Pixel an, um die der Kreissektor nach außen verschoben werden soll, bei ’b’ muss<br />
# auch ein Wert angegeben werden, der aber ignoriert wird<br />
END<br />
END<br />
CLASS<br />
…<br />
END<br />
…<br />
END<br />
<br />
Im STYLE-Block kann bei SIZE auch ein fester Wert angegeben werden. Mindestens zwei CLASS-Blöcke sind erforderlich, um die Diagramme zu erzeugen.<br />
<br />

<br />
In diesem LAYER wird die Anzahl der Betriebe in den Stadtbezirken Berlins aufgeteilt auf die verschiedenen Wirtschaftsbereiche dargestellt. Die Angaben bei SIZE verweisen jeweils auf eine Spalte in der Attributtabelle, in der die Anzahl der Betriebe für einen bestimmten Wirtschaftsbereich vorliegen.<br />
<br />
Die daraus resultierende und mit AGG erzeugte Karte sowie die Legende sehen folgendermaßen aus:<br />

<br />

<br />
Folgendes Beispiel zeigt das gleiche Thema, nur mit einem OFFSET 7 7 für den Kreissektor "Produzierendes Gewerbe". Dieser OFFSET wird leider auch in der Legende dargestellt.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Kreisdiagramme_offset.png]]<br />
[[Image:Kreise_legende-off.png]]<br />
<br />
''Datenquelle: Statistisches Landesamt Berlin 2005''<br />
<br />
Ein Nachteil ist, dass in der Version 5.0 nur Kreissektorendiagramme mit einer festen Größe (Durchmesser) erzeugt werden. Man kann die Kreissektoren also nicht im Zusammenhang zu einem übergeordneten Attribut darstellen. Nur die Anteile der jeweiligen Werte können anhand der Kreissektoren abgelesen werden.<br />
<br />
===Dynamische Kreisgrößen ab Version 5.2===<br />
<br />
Ab der Version 5.2 wird es mit einem zusätzlichen PROCESSING-Parameter möglich sein, die Kreisgrößen abhängig von einem Attribut zu variieren:<br />
<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_SIZE_RANGE=itemname minsize maxsize minval maxval"<br />
<br />
Dabei ist:<br />
* itemname der Name des Attributs, welches die Kreisgröße bestimmt<br />
* minsize und maxsize die minimale und maximale Größe der Kreisdiagramme in Pixel<br />
* minval und maxval die minimalen und maximalen Werte des Attributs, welches die Kreisdiagrammgrößen bestimmt, diese korrespondieren dann mit den bei minsize, maxsize angegeben Größen<br />
<br />
Sind die Attributwerte kleiner als minval wird die Kreisgröße mit der Angabe bei minsize gezeichnet und sind die Attributwerte größer als maxval werden die Kreisdiagramme mit der bei maxsize angegeben Größe erstellt.<br />
<br />
==Balkendiagramme==<br />
<br />
Balkendiagramme werden nach dem gleichen Prinzip wie die Kreissektorendiagramme erzeugt. Es gibt jedoch ein paar zu beachtende Besonderheiten.<br />
<br />
Hier zunächst die Erläuterung der LAYER-Struktur:<br />
<br />
LAYER<br />
TYPE CHART<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_TYPE=BAR" # Diagrammtyp, hier BAR für Balkendiagramme<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_SIZE=30 40" # Breite und Höhe der Balkendiagramme in Pixel<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MINVAL=val" # kleinster Attributwert<br />
PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MAXVAL=val" # größter Attributwert<br />
…<br />
CLASS<br />
NAME "Text" # Erläuterung bzw. Name des Balkens, der in der Legende erscheint<br />
STYLE<br />
SIZE [Attributname] # gibt an, aus welcher Spalte der Attributtabelle die Sachdaten zur Erzeugung der Balkenhöhen <br />
# benutzt werden sollen<br />
COLOR r g b # Farbe, mit der der Balken gefüllt wird<br />
OUTLINECOLOR r g b # wenn angegeben, wird eine Umrandungslinie um den Balken gezeichnet<br />
WIDTH w # Breite der Umrandungslinie in Pixel, wenn OUTLINECOLOR spezifiziert wurde<br />
END<br />
END<br />
CLASS<br />
…<br />
END<br />
…<br />
END<br />
<br />
Auch hier gilt: Im STYLE-Block kann bei SIZE auch ein fester Wert angegeben werden. Mindestens zwei CLASS-Blöcke sind erforderlich, um die Diagramme zu erzeugen.<br />
<br />
===PROCESSING-Parameter CHART_BAR_MINVAL und CHART_BAR_MAXVAL===<br />
<br />
Die beiden optionalen Parameter PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MINVAL=val" und PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MAXVAL=val" erzeugen miteinander vergleichbare Balkendiagramme in einer Karte. Ohne diese Angabe werden die Diagrammhöhen nicht relativ zueinander gezeichnet und sie sind nicht miteinander vergleichbar. In diesem Fall wird der größte Balken in jedem Diagramm mit der bei PROCESSING "CHART_SIZE=Breite Höhe" angegeben Höhe gezeichnet, unabhängig von dem jeweiligen Attributwert. Alle anderen Balken in einem Diagramm werden anhand ihrer Sachdaten relativ zu dem größten Balken in diesem Diagramm erzeugt.<br />
<br />
Um also miteinander vergleichbare Balkendiagramme zu erstellen, müssen die beiden zusätzlichen Parameter (oder auch nur einer davon) angegeben werden.<br />
I.d.R. reicht die Angabe des größten darzustellenden Attributwertes aus. Die vertikale Achse (y-Achse) des Diagramms reicht dann von 0 bis zum größten Wert bei positiven Attributwerten. Es können aber auch negative Werte in den Diagrammen dargestellt werden.<br />
<br />
Folgendes Beispiel soll den Unterschied der Nicht-Verwendung sowie der Benutzung von PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MINVAL=val" und PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MAXVAL=val" verdeutlichen:<br />
<br />
Vorgegeben sind 2 Objekte A und B mit folgenden Attributwerten:<br />
* A mit 1000, 500, 200<br />
* B mit 2000, 500, 200<br />
<br />
Als Ergebnis ohne eine minval- und maxval-Angabe erhält man:<br />
<br />
[[Image:balken_ohne.png]]<br />
<br />
Die roten Balken haben bei beiden Diagrammen dieselben Größen während sich die anderen Balken unterscheiden. Diese Darstellung entspricht nicht den Attributwerten und vermittelt falsche Informationen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:balken_mit.png]]<br />
<br />
Bei der Verwendung der minval- und maxval-Angabe werden die Diagramme in einem richtigen Verhältnis zueinander erzeugt. Der rote Balken bei A ist halb so groß <br />
wie bei B und die blauen und gelben Balken haben jeweils dieselbe Größe. Diese Darstellung entspricht somit den Daten. <br />
<br />
Wenn nur ein Wert für maxval angegeben wird, wird der Balken immer vom Wert 0 aus gezeichnet. Eine Angabe bei minval verlagert die horizontale Achse von der aus der Balken erzeugt wird. <br />
Bei Attributwerten die größer als der maxval-Wert sind, werden die Balken auch so hoch wie bei dem dort angegebenen Wert gezeichnet. Bei Werten die kleiner als der minval-Wert sind, wird kein Balken erstellt.<br />

In diesem LAYER wird das Ergebnis der Europawahl 2004 in Berlin auf Ebene der Stadtbezirke dargestellt. Der bei PROCESSING "CHART_BAR_MAXVAL=43" angegebene Wert 43 ist die bei dieser Wahl höchste erreichte Prozentzahl von einer Partei in einem Bezirk.<br />
<br />
Die daraus resultierende Karte sowie die Legende sehen folgendermaßen aus:<br />
<br />

[[Image:balken_legende.png]]<br />
<br />
''Datenquelle: Statistisches Landesamt Berlin 2005''<br />
<br />
Ein Nachteil ist hierbei, dass in der automatisch erstellten Legende nur die Farben der Balken erläutert werden aber nicht die Balkenhöhen. Der Kartenleser kann also nicht einschätzen welche Balkenhöhe wie viel Prozent entspricht.<br />

<br />
= Library/Component Review =<br />
See [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p3ovxbvq1mBuBRaJiIT14eA spreadsheets].<br />
<br />
= Code Copyright Review =<br />
The objective here is to visit every source file, and identify possible issues, and work to "regularize" things. <br />
<br />
See [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p3ovxbvq1mBuBRaJiIT14eA spreadsheets].<br />
<br />
* Maintain a list of all copyright holders identified in the review document (see REAMDE in the trunk root of the SVN). <br />
<br />
= Review Document =<br />
<br />
The result of the provenance review is two fold. First, there is clarification and "fixes" done during the review. For instance, adding missing copyright notices, or factoring out external libraries. The second is a review report with a fairly detailed list of outstanding issues, ambiguities and information of note. <br />
<br />
The review document will be distributed to the project PSC members, as well as the incubation committee. Based on it, the incubation committee may require the project to do additional work, either resolving ambiguities, factoring items out, or rewriting questional components. <br />
<br />
When completed, a much briefer form of the review document should be prepared, just listing information that would be pertinent to folks using the project. Essentially a summary. This summary might live in source control as README.LICENSE or something similar.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Copyright Header ==<br />
It is sufficient to refer to a single copy of the license agreement for the project, but each file should include an indication of what the license is, and the location of the full license document. <br />

MapServer 2008 SOC Ideas
2022-09-02T18:58:03Z

<hr />
<div>= MapServer 2008 SoC Ideas = <br />
<br />
Enter ideas for development projects here. Note these are just suggestions - students are welcome to propose projects based on their own interests that relate to MapServer. <br />
<br />
== Apache Module/MSAPI Module Support ==<br />
<br />
While MapServer currently does support FastCGI, it would be beneficial to support tighter integration with the two most popular webserver platforms- Apache and Microsoft IIS.<br />
<br />
== Support for reading SVG symbols ==<br />
<br />
Add support for SVG as an alternate method to define vector symbols in a MapServer symbolset.<br />
<br />
== Performance improvements for labelcache and MINDISTANCE processing ==<br />
<br />
This is a proposal to redesign the labelcache processing from an O(N*N) process to an O(N) process. It would use a raster buffer for label collision detection and has the possibility for some other spin-off features like label placement with avoidance. Below is a draft RFC Proposal for this feature that provides more information.<br />
<br />
[[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2007-October/004454.html RFC Proposal]]<br />
<br />
== Tilted Prespective Map View similar to that used in many GPS devices ==<br />
<br />
A discussion of this was had in February on the Mapserver-Dev list, see the link below. There clearly is interest in supporting this but it needs some additional discussion, research and an appropriate sizing to a SoC task. On the trivial side it might be as simple as figuring out how to make mapserver work with proj4 parameters, which is clearly not a SoC project. On the other side it might mean implementing another render within mapserver what has a lot of cool features and my be larger in scope than a SoC project.<br />
<br />
[[http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573 http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573]]<br />
<br />
== Output Support for KML ==<br />
<br />
Implement an output driver in MapServer to generate KML output for use with Google Earth, using an approach similar to the current Flash (SWF) and SVG output drivers.<br />
<br />
== Binary persistence support ==<br />
<br />
This addition requires to develop a binary writer/reader implementation to serialize/deserialize the mapscript objects individually and to support reading/writing the entire mapfile in binary format. This option would result in a performance increment when loading the mapfiles and avoid the parser lock for the multi-threaded applications. The implementor should also create a console application to support converting between the current and the binary mapfile formats.<br />
<br />
== MapScript C# multithreaded test environment ==<br />
<br />
The student should create a multithreaded C# test application that would provide automated execution of various pluggable mapscript tests by simulating an ASP.NET style multithreading environment. The application would allow to specify various test parameters like the thread pool size, test execution sequence and timings. The student should implement a fair amount of mapscript test cases to cover the most fundamental parts of the API.<br />
<br />
== Other Ideas: ==<br />
<br />
The following MapServer-dev thread outlines a few possible ideas, without providing much details:<br />
[[http://www.nabble.com/Fwd%3A--OSGeo-Discuss--Google-Summer-of-Code-2008-tt15614123.html#a15614123 http://www.nabble.com/Fwd%3A--OSGeo-Discuss--Google-Summer-of-Code-2008-tt15614123.html#a15614123]]<br />
<br />
= Mentor Candidates =<br />

==== Add support for KML output to MapServer (for use with Google Earth) ====<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT: KML output in MapServer used to be on the list of ideas but is needed in MapServer 5.0 by an organization that will likely fund it before the summer (before 5.0), so it has been taken out of the list.<br />

<br />
== Community Functioning ==<br />
<br />
; Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)? <br />
: The mapserver-users mailing list is quite active and well posed questions often result in more than one helpful response. <br />
<br />
; Are source and binary downloads for the package available? <br />
: Yes, visit http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/<br />
<br />
; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?<br />
: Yes, the RFC transitioning our technical steering committee (TSC) to the PSC passed in April 2007. [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-23 PSC membership is now complete]. <br />
<br />
; Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc. <br />

MapServer 5.0 - Lançamento
2022-09-02T18:51:01Z
<p>Jmckenna: </p>
<hr />
<div><small>Seattle, Washington/E.U.A., 19 de setembro de 2007</small><br />
<br />
A [http://www.osgeo.org/ Open Source Geospatial Foundation] (OSGeo) anuncia que a aguardada versão '''5.0''' do MapServer já está disponível para download através do site do projeto (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu ).<br />
<br />
O '''MapServer 5.0''' é o primeiro ''major release'' desde o lançamento da versão 4.0 em Julho de 2003. Embora vários ''minor releases'' e ''bugfixes'' tenham sido lançados praticamente a cada semestre, esta versão finalmente traz recursos inovadores até então ausentes na série 4.x.<br />
<br />
==Destaques==<br />
<br />
*[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-29/ <nowiki>RFC</nowiki> 29] - geração dinâmica de gráficos ( torta e barra) sobre objetos<br />
*[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-21/ <nowiki>RFC</nowiki> 21] - correção de cores para dados matriciais via tabela de valores<br />
*[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-32/ <nowiki>RFC</nowiki> 32] - novo mecanismo de renderização - via biblioteca AGG - que garante maior qualidade nas imagens de saída<br />
*[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-27/ <nowiki>RFC</nowiki> 27] - definição de prioridades para rótulos<br />
*[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-19/ <nowiki>RFC</nowiki> 19] - uso de estilos e rótulos dinâmicos definidos através de campos para layers vetoriais<br />

==Sobre o MapServer==<br />
<br />
O '''MapServer''' é um conjunto de ferramentas Open Source para o desenvolvimento de aplicações e serviços geográficas em ambientes Internet ou Intranet. É rápido, flexível, confiável e pode ser integrado em qualquer ambiente GIS.<br />
<br />
Originalmente desenvolvido na [http://www.umn.edu/ Universidade de Minnesota], atualmente o '''MapServer''' é mantido por desenvolvedores do mundo todo através de um excelente modelo de governança de projetos de software.<br />
<br />
Sua plataforma de operação inclui Windows, Linux, MacOS e outros ambientes UNIX.<br />
<br />
O '''MapServer''' também inclui o ''MapScript'' - que expõe a API do MapServer para ambientes de programação como Java, .NET, Mono, PHP, Python, Ruby e Perl. Usando MapScript é possível o desenvolvimento de aplicações web GIS avançadas e com recursos específicos.<br />
<br />
==Sobre a Open Source Geospatial Foundation==<br />
<br />
A Open Source Geospatial Foundation, ou simplesmente '''OSGeo''', é uma organização sem fins lucrativos com a missão de manter e promover um ambiente colaborativo para a produção de dados e tecnologias abertas de geoprocessamento.<br />
<br />
A Fundação dispõe recursos financeiros, organizacionais e suporte legal para a comunidade open source gis em geral. Também funciona como uma entidade legal independente para o qual seus membros podem contribuir com desenvolvimento, patrocínio e outros recursos, além de garantir que todas as contribuições serão de benefício público.<br />
<br />
Os projetos da fundação OSGeo estão disponíveis para download de forma livre através de licenças open source ''OSI-certified''.<br />
