Benchmarking 2011 IRC Meetings

Wed July 27th, 2011 @ [log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-07-27.log]
- attendance:
  - Dane Springmeyer - Mapnik
  - Jeff McKenna - MapServer
  - Pirmin Kalberer - QGIS mapserver
  - Mike Smith - Hardware / MapServer / Oracle MapViewer
  - Martin Daly - Cadcorp GeognoSIS
- Summary
  - OSM styling discussion
    - Mapnik will write a script to parse existing osm mapfile
    - GeognoSIS to use existing SLDs
    - mpdaly noted that some tables lack ID field (QGIS complains about this)
    - jmckenna suggested running a psql command to add OIDs to all tables
    - springmeyer looking for some cached tiles of the style to use
    - QGIS Server is currently implementing the OSM style
- Actions
  - jmckenna: contact GeoServer/Gabriel about status
  - mdsmith: activate windows on BM server
  - mdsmith: contact Oracle MapViewer team about status

Wed April 20th, 2011 @ [log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-04-20.log]
- Agenda:
  - Create plan for vector (OSM) and raster (DEM) data processing
  - Discuss testing methodology

Wed February 23rd, 2011 [log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-02-23.log]
- Agenda:
  - Create plan for vector (OSM) and raster (DEM) data processing
  - Discuss testing methodology
  - final presentation discussion

Wed February 16th, 2011 (log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-02-16.log)
- attendance:
  - Dane Springmeyer - Mapnik
  - Jeff McKenna - MapServer
  - Alex Wong - ERDAS
  - Pirmin Kalberer - QGIS mapserver
  - Mike Smith - Hardware / MapServer / Oracle MapViewer
- Summary
  - final presentation discussion
    - springmeyer and jmckenna to submit abstract for presentation today or tomorrow
    - aaime sent message to jmckenna urging the use of the mailing list more by all teams
  - data sources discussion
    - springmeyer pointed out that some generalizing occurs with the osm2ogsql tool
    - springmeyer suggests 3 types of OpenStreetMap tests: data in shapefile (cloudmade extracts), data in PostGIS (osm2pgsql), and then a "best effort" (data in any format)
    - pirmin_k noted that osm2pgsql tool does not work well for QGIS
  - testing process discussion
    - covered in data discussion above

Wed February 9th, 2011 (log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-02-09.log)
- attendance:
  - Marco Hugentobler - QGIS mapserver
  - Jeff McKenna - MapServer
  - Gabriel Roldan - GeoServer
  - Alex Wong - ERDAS
  - Mike Smith - Hardware / MapServer / Oracle MapViewer
  - Martin Daly - Cadcorp
- Summary
  - data sources discussion
    - teams voted in support of using OpenStreetMap data for Colorado for vector
    - for raster, mpdaly suggests using DEMs
      - mdsmith suggests USGS Seamless NED or NAIP, and he also gets snowpack data daily
  - testing process discussion
    - teams support the plan to test only best effort, with data in format of your choice, but data must retain original detail (no generalizing)
    - continued discussion on testing tilecaching by servers...with the goal being to enhance how each server handles labelling on tiles

Wed February 2nd, 2011 (log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-02-02.log)
- attendance:
  - Marco Hugentobler - QGIS mapserver
  - Mike Smith - Hardware / MapServer / Oracle MapViewer
  - Alex Wong - ERDAS
  - Daniel Morissette - MapServer
  - Martin Daly - Cadcorp
  - Jeff McKenna - MapServer
- Summary
  - data sources discussion
    - unknown if suggested SPOT imagery can be distributed freely to the public
    - we should probably use local Denver/Colorado data
    - possibility of using U.S. Census TIGER data for Colorado
    - the benchmarking exercise in 2009 used TIGER data for Texas
    - mpdaly suggests using OpenStreetMap data
    - sample styling of MapServer using OSM data for Colorado already exists: map on http://www.mapserver.org/trunk/
  - testing process discussion
    - marco suggested that we have separate tests for point/line/poly, in addition to other tests
    - all teams voted to accept that we would only present a subset of the tests (we will decide what subset to use later)
    - mdsmith suggests testing tilecache seeding for each server...testing how the server's labeling engine handles edges of tiles

Wed January 12th, 2011 (log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-01-12.log)
- attendance:
  - Andrea Aaime - GeoServer
  - Jeff McKenna - MapServer
  - Pirmin Kalberer - QGIS mapserver
  - Marco Hugentobler - QGIS mapserver
  - Mike Smith - Hardware / MapServer / Oracle MapViewer
  - Anne-Sophie Collignon - Erdas
  - Daniel Morissette - MapServer
  - Adrian Custer - Undetermined
  - Andreas Schmitz - Deegree
  - Martin Daly - Cadcorp
  - Jean-Francois Faudi - Data
  - Ivan Sanchez - Vocals
- Summary
  - acuster: relayed that ESRI is still discussing internally about commitment
  - mdsmith: servers are now in our new datacenter and in racks. they are on ups + standby generator
  - discussion on data sources
    - jeffaudi: can supply 100 tiles of 1GB GeoTIFF imagery (SPOT)
  - all agreed data and styles need to be prepared soon
  - suggestion that testing methodology needs to be redesigned
  - teams will be allowed to join the exercise late, but must follow the rules of engagement (they can propose changes, but teams are not required to follow)
