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 will 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
- OSM styling discussion
- Actions
- jmckenna: contact GeoServer/Gabriel about status
- jmckenna: contact Constellation-SDI about status
- mdsmith: activate windows on BM server
- mdsmith: contact Oracle MapViewer team about status
- all: continue styling of OSM data (see examples here)
- attendance:
- 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
- Agenda:
- 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
- Agenda:
- 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
- final presentation discussion
- attendance:
- 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
- data sources discussion
- attendance:
- 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
- data sources discussion
- attendance:
- Wed January 12th, 2011 (log: http://logs.qgis.org/foss4g/%23foss4g.2011-01-12.log)

- 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)
