OSGeo Mashup

Thoughts on how to set up a membership activity and user location OSGeo mashup.

• a script subscribes to the OSGeo Wiki "Recent Changes" RSS
• extract editor's Wiki user name and client IP from RSS feed
• look up that IP's latitude and longitude
• MediaWiki user name page includes a template with formatted home location in latitude and longitude (KML, GeoRSS, GML, any)
• bot writes back location and User Name to PostgreSQL PostGIS database
• MapServer connects to that PostGIS FeatureTable and display map with point and text as OGC WMS
• GeoServer connects to that same PostGIS FeatureTable and returns GML via OGC WFS-T interface
• Mapbender deploys OpenLayers to overlay OSM map with OSGeo Member map
• and so on

Please consider moving the data you have added there to your user page. 
If you add the [[Category:OSGeo Member]] to your user page then you will
be listed as an OSGeo member.

Proposal for a map of OSGeo software users

Taking the Category:OSGeo Member map as a basis, I suggest to:

• build up a map with all current users (from OSGeo LDAP, plus possibly other sources, if projects keep their own)
• make an option "Show only {GRASS|QGIS|Mapserver|etc.} users"
• put it on the main page
