  • UTFGrid support for openlayers (Matt)
    • ascii art mapped to data dictionary
    • all in browser, avoids going to server
    • Adding this new to OpenLayers (was in some others [modest maps, leaflet] already)
    • New OpenLayers Layer and Control (UTFGrid) - similar to tiles - x/y/z
    • ascii art and corresponding data dictionary are all in json file, can have multiples
    • UTFGrids created by TileMill, TileStache (both Mapnik) python implementation perhaps coming
  • Spatial surveys on the windows tablet (Tim/Ryan)
    • Continue technique of using Django to take applications on and offline
    • Tablets now - Windows 7 talet demo'ed
    • Attribute surveys
    • Mapping component (ExtJS, GeoEXT, OpenLayers...)
    • Bigger buttons, pinch zoom, swipe, digitize
    • TileCache pre-generated and accessed on hard-drive
    • Easier to do on a full blown OS and get access to computer as opposed to iOS or Android

More regular meeting business

    • Morning session will be smackdown - interfaces: leaflet(Lev or Rafa?), Google (Christian)
    • Karsten not able to present due to schedule uncertainty
    • Afternoon session will be smackdown - caches/servers: TileMill (Edwin), MapCache (), (Or: give afternoon time slot back, change title from ESRI+Open Source, Brian might have something, Dean ORTools...?) Update: depending on time slot, Dean can do ORTools. Dean is moderating for "Real-world GIS" so he is available.
    • GIS In Action table: Sign up with Jeremy, include some focus on Surveyors (gvSIG/Sextante), GPS/Mobile,
  • State of the Map US in Portland in fall

Remaining schedule (every fourth Wednesday)
