GEOS Report 2007

The GEOS project is pleased to have been accepted into incubation! 
Find all details on the GEOS Incubation Status Wiki Page. 
At FOSS4G 2007, members of the GEOS community met, and decided to move
the project under the OSGeo umbrella. Since then, the bug tracking
and code repositories have been moved to OSGeo, and we are moving into
the next stages of incubation: selecting a project steering committee,
establishing the ground rules for decision making, and reviewing the
GEOS code base for intellectual property issues. GEOS should be a
great addition to OSGeo, with lots of strong corporate support and
wide use throughout the geospatial software ecosystem!

GEOS Report 2008

== GEOS ==
* Contact name: Paul Ramsey
=== Key Accomplishments ===
* Completed all code review and administrivia necessary to complete the Incubation process. Working on achieving a requisite amount of project activity to receive Graduation.
* Completed the 3.1 release cycle, which brought some great performance features to the community
** Faster predicates
** Faster unions
** Single-sided buffering
** Thread-safety
** More bug fixes and platform support
=== Areas for Improvement ===
* GEOS continues to struggle without sufficient maintenance resources, so activity and progress are relatively slow
* JTS has added some important improvements to speed and reliability of buffers and unions that would be good to port forward
 
=== Opportunities to Help ===
* General bug fixing and maintenance, simply learning enough of the code base to be a helpful contributor
* Documentation in-code remains somewhat weak. The C-API could use a complete Doxygen set
=== Outlook for 2009 ===
* The community is not shrinking and GEOS continues to garner corporate interest
* The possibility of becoming the "GDAL of geometry" remains, with an associated increase in development time

GIS Book Roadmap

Please, check GIS_Book_ToC for further information
Roadmap
* V1.(Estimated:July 2008). All chapter at stage 5 (Finished, but not yet reviewed)
* V2. (Estimated:November 2008) All chapters at stage 6 (Finished and reviewed)
* V3. (Estimated:March 2009) All chapters at stage 7 (Internally and externally reviewed. Camera-ready version)
* V4. (Estimated: ¿?). Translation of chapters.
Note: Dates are estimated, but we should fix a deadline, specially for V1. Having a deadline will boost the writing process.
We can use the wiki to review chapters. A PDF can be generated usign the "lineno" package in LaTeX, that includes line numbers pagewise, so comments can be referred to a page an line number. Using this PDF as the "reference text" reviewers can check chapters and add their comments and corrections to the wiki. Authors can later on improve their chapters upon this comments.
I think that we can do the internal revisión in 2-3 months, half of the time to review the texts and the other half for the authors to update and correct their work.
For the external one, it might a take a bit longer. 
I think that chapters should be reviewed in their original language and then translated, but maybe someone can propose a better way to do it and ensure the quality of the text. Maybe we can translate chapters once they reach stage 5, and then review them in both languages. That would mean more work, but also more reviewers, so the quality of the text would be better. Opinions are welcome.

GIS Web Comparison

This page is used to coordinate comparisons between GeoSpatial Web Mapping clients to help users and developers select technologies that fit their requirements.
=Abstract=
; Title:
: Web Mapping Client comparison
; Authors:
: List of people that have worked on this comparison
:* Pieter De Graef (Geomajas Chair and Community Manager at Geosparc)
; Abstract:
: The goal of this page is to provide a comparative overview of the Web Mapping Clients available to help users and developers select technologies that fit their requirements. The comparison must therefore cover architecture, functionalities and performance.
: As a starting point, work from German Carrillo's Web map clients comparison will be used, as it gives a thorough overview.
= What projects can participate =
While this comparison has initially focused on OSGeo projects, the idea is to cover world-wide open source and proprietary technologies as well.

GML Geometry

Both deegree and GeoTools are running geometry constructs based on GML (or ISO19107 which GML builds on). These ideas go far beyond what is offered by the SFSQL implementation offered by JTS.
We have had a couple of IRC meetings and a Code Sprint in order to start grabbing things together.
== Direction ==
Discussions on java-collab email list have led to the following decisions.
* GML rather then ISO19107
* OSGEO to hold the resulting code; will create a "Lab" when we have code base and an agreed framework for collaboration
* LGPL
* Interface/Factory rather then Class
== Planning ==
Some subset of Markus Schneider's proposal:
# DONE - Remove all topological and spatial analysis methods in the interfaces from the SVN for now, so we can focus on sanitising the model.
# Add factories. I would like to add two factories similar to the ones in the deegree 3 SVN:
#* SFS geometries:
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/SimpleGeometryFactory.html
#* ISO 19107/GML 3
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/GeometryFactory.html
#* In deegree 3, these factories are bound to a JTS-based implementation. As we only have interfaces for the geometry types in the osgeom repository for now (and no implementations), I would create interfaces from the factories.
# Add a basic implementation that is just a bean representation without operations. We could finally start to add JUnit tests then.
# Add GML parsers/exporters. I understood that one may want to keep this aspect out of the repository, but I don't see how we could test the difficulties in representing GML geometries (e.g external xlinks) without this. It also would make setting up geometries for testing much easier. Maybe we could keep the GML parsing/exporting isolated from the rest of the code.
# Of course we would take on the operations subject again, when we find consensus here.

GRASS GIS is one of the founding projects of OSGeo and graduate OSGeo incubation.
== Description ==
The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (http://grass.osgeo.org/), commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System providing powerful raster, vector and geospatial processing capabilities in a single integrated software suite. GRASS GIS includes tools for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been translated into about twenty languages and supports a huge array of data formats. It can be used either as a stand-alone application or as backend for other software packages such as QGIS and R geostatistics. It is distributed freely under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). GRASS GIS is a founding member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).
GRASS GIS is successfully used in scientific applications, commercial settings and by public officials all over the world.
