2011 GIS Smackdown

== 2011 Open Source Smackdown ==
GIS In Action
March 29, 2011. PSU. 10:30-noon.
==== Catalog Description ====
Presenters: David Percy, Darrell Fuhriman, Christian Schumann-Curtis
Open Source GIS software has proven to be reliable, fast, and cartographically pleasing on the WWW, however it has lagged behind commercial systems on the desktop. In this session we will highlight the capabilities of some of the leading, most feature-rich, desktop applications in the open source ecosystem. These will include, but are not limited to, Quantum GIS, gvSig, ILWIS, and MapWindow.
==== Audience Notes ====
The goals of the panel were to present on Open Source GIS software that could do analysis at at least an ArcView 3 level.
===== Open Jump =====
Percy decided not to present on MapWindow due to it not doing a data join, which is important when working with Census data. Instead, he presented on Open Jump. 
* He commented that it loads shapefiles, but only after you tell it to look for them, as the software defaults to look for .gml files. 
* It can join shapefiles to .txt files. 
* Open Jump does not like large files. For instance, it will crash on RLIS taxlots. One work around is to change the computer's memory cache. 
* It does not do on the fly projections.
* It can run a generalize operation on polygons to reduce verticies to make shapes more web friendly. Percy thinks it does this better than ArcGIS does, as Open Jump does not leave spaces between areas. 
* Percy's powerpoint presentation
Overall, Percy believed Open Jump will "out geek" most users and does not pass the Arc 3.3 test. As a result, Percy didn't exactly allow the audience to vote on this software.
=====Quantum GIS=====
This software was presented on by Christian.
* QGIS will do on the fly projections
* He demonstrated how to select by attribute
* He performed a buffer.
* QGIS can run a "definition" query that kind of works like select when other analysis tools are being run.
* Under geometry tools, it can do a generalization for the web.
* QGIS does intersect.
* QGIS has an IRC and good forums to answer questions.
=====gvSig=====
Darrell was the last to present, demonstrating gvSig, which was developed by the City of Valencia, Spain. It is recommended to use the "Oxford Archeology" version for its English use.
* gvSig does projections
* It has a search tool to find tools to use.
* It can generalize and preserve shapefiles.
* It can create and run models.
* It has networking tools.
* One frustration is that some tools are not found in menus, as they only have buttons to run them. 
* Be aware that it has "pop unders," where windows open underneath already open windows and can be hidden from the viewer.
=====Results of the Smackdown===== 
The audience seemed to like gvSig the best.

2011 GIS in Action ESRI and Open Source

GIS In Action
March 30, 2011. PSU. 1:30pm-3:00pm.
==== Catalog Description ====
Moderator: Eric Bohard
Web Mapping using Open Source and generally free to use tools (ie. Google Maps)
Presenter: TJ Maciak. The Community Research Institute at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy from Grand Rapids, MI has been exploring the use of common open source and free to use services for web based GIS applications to help our partners (non-profits, foundations and various community organizations) display some of their data in a visual way. This session will briefly explore the technical essentials of what a small organization needs to implement in order to get a web mapping application out for public consumption as well as briefly go over our first foray into the mobile application world on an Android device and the inner
workings of the "cloud" based GIS service behind that application.
ESRI and Open Source
Presenter: John Sharrard, GIS Solutions Engineer, Esri. This presentation will discuss how Esri is involved in the open source community
including:
*Development and management of open source geospatial projects
*Integration of open source tools, languages, libraries, integrated development environments (IDE), and Web server technologies
*Participation in open source events and organizations
*Contributors to open source geospatial projects
*Adherence to interoperability within the managed open source geospatial projects
*Implementation of the GeoServices REST API .
Particular attention will be given to open source geospatial projects, including Esri Geoportal Server, ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap, and the Esri ArcGIS Silverlight Toolkit.
==== Audience Notes ====
Maciak demonstrated how he was able to publish information on the web using open source mapping. His projects included showing chrolopeth maps shown on top of google, bing, or open streets maps. 
General Processes (needs editing):
1. Have data.
2. Get software such as qGIS and save the map as an xml file
3. Have a web server.
4. Use a map engine such as mapnik or mapserver.
5. Configure the xml file
6. Set up a basic interface and connect Open Layers to your mapping engine. 
He commented on some more advanced operations:
* move away from shapefiles
* set up postgres
* set up PostGIS
* set up a tile cache repository
Other notes:
* Open Layers allows connections to multiple servers for all the various layers, which in turn loads faster.
* Maciak likes open source software because even if the developers for the open source software leave, you still have the code to keep running as is and are not forced to look for other alternatives.
Maciak also gave a demonstration of his android application for GPS, which he built using an android emulator, Eclipse 3. There are additional plug-ins required to run the emulator.

2011 GIS in Action Update on Japan Crisis Mapping

GIS In Action
March 30, 2011. PSU. 3:15pm-3:45pm.
==== Catalog Description ====
Update on Japan Crisis Mapping
Presenter: Rafa Guttierrez. 
With the disaster that's fallen upon Japan in the past week, there's been a rush of geographic data streams hitting the web. There are mashups and visualizations
everywhere and some people who are jumping into CrisisCamps wanting to help. At the forefront are OpenStreetMap contributors who are using a variety of tools such as JOSM, Potlatch2, QGIS, Merkaartor, and even ArcGIS. There are also folks contributing other types of data such as 3D visualizations and climate analyses.
==== Audience Notes ====
Rafa went though and talked about the history of crisis mapping. Rafa's crisis and map website

2011 Unconference Routing Session

Routing in Open Source GIS
10:00am - 11:00am, Room 333
pg_routing - postgis extension for routing
http://www.pgrouting.org/
Also talked about: http://gis.stackexchange.com/
plugin for qgis
rtsql layer plugin (query builder for postgis)
Discussion made of routing in open source GIS. Ryan Dalton gave a demonstration on his attempts to us pgRouting, partly based on his readings from the blog Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings, which include the posts Drive Time Isochrones and Creating Catchment Areas with pgRouting and QGIS. It was noted that, just like in ArcGIS, one still has to build a network in order to run this kind of analysis. 
There was a lot of discussion about walkability maps, walking does not take the same kind of analysis as driving or riding a bicycle would. Part of the problem is that there are no "turns," but instead street "crosses." One audience member said he was trying to overcome this problem by making four intersections. 
The Willamette Pedestrian Coalition meets on Monday afternoons, 4-6pm, in Cramer Hall Lab 469 at PSU during the spring of 2011 to use GIS to model the pedestrian network in Portland. For more information, write Katie @ wpcwalks.org. 
Someone brought up a question about routing on streets that have the same name and same ID but go through another city. We have a similar situation in Michigan where the city of Hamtramck is fully inside the city of Detroit. Maywood Park? - city contained within Portland - streets with the same id that get split up (similar to hamtramack)

== OSGeo Charter Member Elections 2014 ==
Related URL:
* Elections page with instructions and schedule
* OSGeo Membership
* OSGeo Charter Member list
Details:
As in every year, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation will have an election process to allow anyone in the community to become active in the growth of the foundation, by becoming a Charter Member; new people bring new energy, points of view, and diversity. Do you know somebody who is involved with Open Source geospatial software, education or geospatial open data and could contribute to OSGeo's mission and goals? Anybody can nominate anybody, there is no requirement for a prior formal involvement with OSGeo. Please consider making a nomination for Charter Membership. Find out more about positive attributes expected from new Charter Members.
OSGeo Charter Members maintain the integrity of the Foundation. They "own" the Foundation, they elect new Charter Members and the Board of Directors. OSGeo uses the term "Charter" Member to explicitly indicate that these members are responsible for upholding the "Charter" of the Foundation. We emphasize that the only real difference between any regular member and a Charter Member is the responsibility to vote at the Foundation level. It is not our intent to make the Charter Members some "privileged" class. All mailing lists, projects, committees, and other Foundation activities are uniformly open and available to all friends of the Foundation.
Charter Members are eligible to serve on the Board of Directors which is responsible for regular day to day operations of the Foundation. Part of the Board of Directors is renewed each year. Nominations and election of new board members take place in August. Read more about the Foundation Membership.
The 2014 Charter Member nomination period runs for two weeks starting from 2014-07-19 and ending on 2014-08-01. Find all details here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2014
== Mailing list call ==
 Hi all,
 
 OSGeo elections are about to start. The nomination period for new 
 Charter Member starts tomorrow Saturday 19 of July.
 
 Please, consider nominating new Charter Members within the next two 
 weeks and help keep the Foundation to be even more diverse, represented 
 by people from even more countries, languages, profiles (e.g. Academic, Private, Government, etc.) 
 and interests. 
 For sure you know people that could bring new points of view
 and energy to OSGeo, so tell them about the elections and convince them to join such 
 a vibrant community!
 
 Elections page:

 Please help spread the word and also reach out to communities who 
 have not yet been connected with OSGeo.
