- Contact name: Rafael Medeiros Sperb
Key Accomplishments
- Third Brazilian Mapserver Users' Meeting - ENUM
This meeting was held in May 2007, in the auditorium of the Federal Government Palace, in Brasilia.
- Public Audience of e-PING
This meeting was held in May 2007, in the auditorium of the Federal Government Palace, in Brasilia.
Areas for Improvement
- OGC WMS and WFS recomendation.
Opportunities to Help
- OSGeo Members can help in customising the Open Source GIS software such that the end user
can work around to add data, query etc with limited exposure. This will make the GIS data created sustainable. Customisation will include making a simple model for using a server (PostGIS) serving GIS data with customised frontend software like Qgis, OpenJUMP etc in India languages.
Outlook for 2008
- The GIS datasets being created for the town of Rajahmundry using Open Source GIS, Andhra Pradesh, will be a model for other municipal corporations to follow. The benificiaries include Governament as well as the students of post graduation in Geoinformatics, of Nannaya University of the same town.
- OSGeo-India wishes to encourage academic institutes teaching GIS to also adopt Open Source GIS by helping them providing resource persons from OSGeo-India.
