Buffer with QGIS

== Exercise using QGIS ==
This exercise uses the above method as it applies directly in QGIS. Other projects will be welcome to add their own example exercises as well.
TODO: Add screenshots
# Launch QGIS
# Load the data layer. Using menus at top of screen select LAYER -> Add Vector Layer
## Press Browse button
## Navigate to the folder holding the sample datasets and select busstopsall.shp and press Open button
## QGIS will automatically zoom to the extent of the bus stop features
# Run the buffer process from the menu: TOOLS -> Geoprocessing Tools -> Buffer(s)
## Set the Input vector layer to busstopsall
## Enter Buffer distance of 200. This will be 200 metres.
## Set the Output shapefile by pressing Browse button. Navigate to the data folder and enter the new filename as busstops_200m_buffer.shp. Press Save button to select that filename.
## Press OK button to run the process.
# After running, the system asks Would you like to add the new layer to the TOC? select Yes and the resulting shapefile will be added as a layer in your map view.
# Buffer(s) window remains open. Press Close to close the window.
# Reorder the layers so the resulting buffer polygons layer is on the bottom of the layer stack. Click and drag the busstops_200m_buffer.shp layer to beneath busstopsall.
Building MapGuide on Debian Sarge

== Installing Mapguide Open Source on Debian Sarge ==
To date, THIS HAS NEVER BEEN WORKING. Please use another dist.
This work is based on the other compilation guides.
Basic Setup
Install a basic Debian Sarge (the rest of this guide assumes no GUI and that you are not running as the root user)
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include sarge backports. (add this line :)
 deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports non-free
then :
 apt-get update (as root)
Install the following packages:
 apt-get install subversion gcc-3.4 g++-3.4 flex bison automake1.9 libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libtool zlib1g zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev make libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev expat sun-java5-jdk libexpat1 libexpat1-dev doxygen
FDO
 cd ~
 wget http://svn.osgeo.org/fdocore/branches/3.2.x/checkoutsvn.sh
Edit checkoutsvn.sh with the following:
 FDO_SVN_USERNAME=guest
 FDO_SVN_PASSWORD=guest
 FDO_SVN_SOURCEDIR=branches/3.2.x
Then,
 mkdir fdosvn
 cd fdosvn
 bash ../checkoutsvn.sh 
Permanently accept the certificates and then cancel the script (ctrl+c for each checkout)
 vim ../.subversion/config
Edit config file with the following (either by commenting out or adding):
in the [miscellany] section:
 use-commit-times=yes
 enable-auto-props=yes
in the [auto-props] section:
 *.* = svn:eol-style=native
 *.sh = svn:executable
Then, always in the fdosvn dir :
 rm -rf * 
 rm -rf .svn
 bash ../checkoutsvn.sh
 cd /usr/local
 sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.0
 sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.2
 sudo chown (your user) fdo-3.2.*
Then,
 cd ~/fdosvn
 source ./setenvironment.sh
 nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh >& buildthirdparty.log (if you want to log the build)
 nohup ./build_linux.sh >& buildlinux.log
Apache/Php
 cd
 svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/1.2.x/MgDev
 sudo mkdir /usr/local/mapguideopensource
 sudo chown (your user) /usr/local/mapguideopensource
 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10/ (or similar)
 cd ~/MgDev/Oem/LinuxApt
Extract all the tar.gz files:
 find . -name "*.gz" -exec tar xvzf {} \;
Then,
 ./build_apt.sh >& ~/build_apt.log
Build_oem
 ./build_oem.sh
It should fail here at building fcgi-2.4.0, and the following method did not help really:
Then, as root, install using apt:
 apt-get install automake1.7 (but don't change symlinks or anything)
 update-alternatives --config automake (choose version 1.7)
Then,
 
 cd ~/MgDev/Oem/fcgi/fcgi-2.4.0
 rm -rf aclocal.m4
 aclocal
 make
Once this is done, restore automake 1.9
 update-alternatives --config automake (choose version 1.9)
Then,
 cd ~/MgDev/Oem
 pushd ../BuildTools/WebTools/IMake
 mkdir -p Linux/obj/debug
 make
Build Mapguide
 sudo chown (your user) /usr/lib/python2.3
 aclocal
 libtoolize --force
 automake --add-missing --copy
 autoconf
 ./configure --enable-optimized
 make
 make install

Building MapGuide quick starts guides

The following guides describe how to build and install MapGuide Open Source 2.0 or earlier version from subversion. Some of these may not be up-to-date; please feel free to modify them yourself if you are installing a newer version of MapGuide than what is posted.
Building MapGuide on Windows
Building MapGuide on Fedora Core 4
Building MapGuide on Fedora Core 6
Building MapGuide on Red Hat Linux 3
Building MapGuide on Debian Sarge (unsuccessful)
Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 6.06 Server

Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 7.10 Server -> This is for MapGuide 2.0 (work in progress)
Building MapGuide on Ubuntu 8.04 -> MapGuide 2.0.1
Building MapGuide on CentOS 5
Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 6.06 Server

== Installing Mapguide Open Source on Ubuntu Server 6.06 ==
This was done with a lot of help from the Autodesk team (thanks!)
Basic Setup
Install a basic Ubuntu Server 6.06 (the rest of this guide assumes no GUI and that you are not running as the root user)

Business

=Definition=
Business means being busy sometimes with the connotation of making money. If you need to know more precisely you might want to check the Wikipedia article on Business and please always consider viewing it from several perspectives to thoroughly understand. 
=Business Resources=
these are some resources for companies or individual contractors to better understand FOSS4G business models
==Studies==
A listing of various studies in FLOSS and FOSS4G
* Report by e-Cology Corporation on its study of open source software (OSS) in Canada, which was contracted out by the Government of Canada
== OSGeo's Service Provider Directory ==
In many cases Professional Support will help to speed up using and operating any kind of software environment. In some cases Commercial Services will be required to get something done in time. To make information about service providers who offer both professional and or commercial support more accessible to potential users and businesses OSGeo maintains a Service Provider Directory. 
Feel free to add your Commercial Services or company to this directory or use it to search for service providers near your location or with special skills you are in need for.
== OSGeo and Business ==
OSGeo is not a business club. Instead it aims at being a not-for-profit[1] organization. Nonetheless a lot of the software, training and geospatial data is produced, maintained and enhanced by commercial enterprises. Services are offered around Free Software and Open Source for pay, which again is a commercial activity. 
[1] ...which is a stupid conflict in English legal talk because obviously everybody makes a profit from OSGeo's existence.
