Astun Technology Report 2008

Although we are a commercial enterprise we work in the UK Public Sector, which has long had an interest in Open Source software technologies. Our software works hand in hand with a number of Open Source software components, so we tend to see our solutions as hybrids. 
The UK Government recently came out strongly in favour of Open Source software and published a report and action plan to increase the pace of adoption, ... a real shot in the arm.
http://tinyurl.com/bdujro		or		http://tinyurl.com/cgoozu
The good news is that this can only help foster further adoption of Open Source, hybrid or otherwise. In the past year we have had considerable success and our platform is in use with over twenty UK Local Authorities and one Police Force. 
The iShare data integration and publishing platform enables a local authority to make the most of its own data, extracting it, transforming it and publishing it both internally and externally. It can serve the call centre through CRM integration and citizens through a rich mix of information, maps and transactional services on an authority’s website. 
In many cases the adoption of MapServer and Postgres/PostGIS has happened despite the prevalence of MapInfo or ESRI at a particular authority. It is the cost/benefit balance combined with customers wanting a complete solution, not a piece of technology, that wins through every time.
So there you have it widespread acceptance of Open Source technology running at the very heart of our solutions. In 2008 our deployment for South Tyneside Council won the NLPG Exemplar Award for Best Business Process Transformation and in the SOCITM ‘Better Connected’ 2009 survey three of our sites were in the top twenty. We can’t think of a better endorsement than that.

Since February 2009 I am staff at OGC and Director European Services. 
My work at OGC goes back to September 2006 when I first started to work for the Consortium on a part time basis as - Director Business Development - Europe . 
End of December 2008 I quit my job at WhereGroup, where I was responsible for business development and marketing. Since mid 1998 I work in GIS and related subjects, I started at that time working for CCGIS. I first got in contact with Free Software in 2002, when CCGIS changed its business model towards Free and Open Source Software. Ever since then, I help explaining, what Free Software is all about and how people can get involved in the Open Source GIS community. 
During the last years I was part of the organising team of the german-speaking community meetings (UMN MapServer User Meetings, Mapbender User Meeting, FOSSGIS 2006, FOSSGIS 2007).

Autodesk Report 2007

Autodesk recognizes the benefits of a vibrant geospatial open source community, which fosters greater innovations that meet the specific needs of users. Throughout the year, Autodesk continued to support the open source community and encourage community participation—from helping develop applications, to technology donations and participation at FOSS4G 2007.
In 2007, Autodesk helped MapGuide Open Source graduate from incubation and saw the development of many exciting applications and general interest in open source GIS software increase. This was most evident at FOSS4G 2007. At the conference, Autodesk showcased several open source innovations: MapGuide Open Source 1.2 and Fusion technology, announced its intent to donate recently-acquired Mentor Software CS-Map technology to OSGeo and hosted several presentations and workshops. 
One exciting application, the San Francisco Urban Forest Mapping Project (UFMP), was built on MapGuide Open Source by the San Francisco Department of Public Works and the non-profit Friends of the Urban Forest with the support of Autodesk. The application code for the map of the trees of the city’s urban forest was donated back to OSGeo, allowing other cities to easily adapt this unique application.
Open source geospatial software is revolutionizing the way GIS professionals can do their job; it is democratizing access to information and giving smaller organizations with smaller budgets access to top of the line technology for a fraction of the cost. What we find most exciting is the rate of activity with the code—users are building unique applications on top of open source projects to meet their specific needs—users are able to access the latest innovations backed by the support of an entire community of developers. Autodesk is incredibly proud to be involved with OSGeo and are excited to see what 2008 will bring us!
--Robert Bray & Nathalie Mainland, Autodesk
Autodesk Report 2008

== Autodesk ==
Throughout 2008, Autodesk was proud to maintain our strong support for the OSGeo community through active development of the MapGuide Open Source and FDO projects, the contribution of new technology such as CS Map, and our sustaining sponsorship of the Foundation. 
MapGuide Open Source is becoming an even more mature and open platform for developing sophisticated web-mapping applications thanks to community-driven technology integration with Fusion, OpenLayers, and MapGuide Maestro. We also welcomed CamptoCamp’s support in developing the first MapGuide Open Source Live CD. 
We are also especially pleased to see FDO Open Source playing a significant role democratizing access to information. Development around FDO providers grew at a rapid pace, with new ones created for KML, Microsoft® SQL Server Spatial® 2008, IBM® Informix Dynamic Server, SuperMap, PostGIS, SQLite and GE® Smallworld. 
In August 2008, we announced donation of source code for the CS-Map coordinate system technology to the OSGeo community. Making CS-Map open source allows open collaboration between CS-Map, PROJ.4, and other open source coordinate libraries under the MetaCRS project. We thank Norm Olsen for his continued efforts and the MetaCRS community for coming together around this technology.
Lastly, we congratulate OSGeo on holding a vibrant and dynamic FOSS4G 2008 conference in Cape Town, South Africa, and for promoting open source geospatial software as an important option for developing nations and the region.

BOF "GeoJQuery" at FOSSGIS 2010

Current activities are available at jQuery Spatial
: Mailing List: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geojquery
: Wiki: http://www.geojquery.org geojquery.org
== About ==
After first thoughts about a project, where the AJAX-Javascript Library jQuery is linked to OpenLayers at the OpenLayers BOF at the FOSS4G 2009 in Sydney, we initialized a BOF with the working title "GeoJQuery" at the FOSSGIS (local chapter Germany conference) this week in Osnabrück.
== Attendants ==
* Andreas Hocevar
* Marc Jansen
* Till Adams
* Thorsten Müller
* Volker Mische
* Arnulf Christl
* Jan Schorn 
* Pirmin Kalberer
* Dominik Helle
* Oliver Tonhofer
* Martin Dresen
* Johannes Schulte Sudhoff
* Javi Carrasco
* (and 4 others, but they were more interested in the event "BOF" than in "GeojQuery"...)
Several attendants already worked with JQuery as an extension to OpenLayers based mapping solutions. Also the "GQuery (gquery)" idea shows, that there are already some solutions and probalby some interest in realizing something like GeoJQuery (Andreas advised us to contact them). Probably the BOF has been the hour of birth for a new OpenSource project.
== Idea ==
Our core idea is not to make a simple copy of Geoext with JQuery. Basic idea is an Geo extension for JQuery, which will be setup with OpenLayers for the mapping components first, but where in principle the mapping component could only be replacable. This requires a very close docking to jQuery.
There is already a WIKI on geojquery.org. Please feel free and get involved.
# GeoJQuery is not a wrap of GeoExt based on JQuery.
# GeoJQuery should become a JQuery plug-in.
# OpenLayers mapping core will be used as the first implementation, others should be possible.
# Easy generation of a map, no expert knowledge of OpenLayers (e.g. projections, layers, controls) is required.
One advice from Andreas was not to live with inconsistences in OpenLayers, so do not built work-arounds, please fix them in OpenLayers.
== TODOos & Next Steps ==
# contact JQuery community, check for possibility of plugin, name "GeoJQuery" (Till)
# setup development environment on terrestris server (Till -- done, please contact for access)
# contact developpers of Gquery and try to get them involved (Till)
# setup mailing list on osgeo-server (-> subscribe here)
# early relase of first 0.001 release (Volker, Marc, Thorsten)
