OSGeo Live Lightening Overview

OSGeo Live Lightning Overview Jody Garnett

Welcome to FOSS4G
What is “Lightning about a 90 mins presentation”?
Nothing!
Everything: There are 43 projects, 90 seconds a project
Quick rundown of the OSGeo Live project
An Overview of the products included
Learn what is available today
Great for planning your activities this week!

OSGeo Live Project

What does it look like?

Scale of OSGeo Live
Team of core developers
Alex Mandel, Cameron Shorter, Hamish Bowman
3 mirrors of the OSGeo Live
Along with one person from each project
35 volunteers listed!
Worldwide representation
Related activities
Conferences, Click-to-try, Workshops, etc...

FOSS4G 2007
Initial idea of creating a DVD
Tip
Many good things start at FOSS4G
Go to a Bird of Feather session!

FOSS4G 2009 – Version 2
Version 2.0
“Arramagong” produced by LISAsoft
The name means “Wombats run down holes”
Cameron Shorter inspired everyone to bring this one in
Contents
Increase to 21 projects
Xbuntu based, with an actual build process
Success!
FOSS4G provided a printing run
Used an example “template” script inviting others to fill in the blanks in order to take part
48 hour build cycle (automation!)

FIG 2010 – Version 3
An international Surveyors conference
“Arramagong”
A wombat is like a cute bager
Contents
34 projects represented
Success
LISAsoft sponsored a printing run
Tyler Mitchell
Used in training courses

FOSS4G 2010 – Version 4
Version 4.0
“OSGeo Live”
100% less wombat references
Contents
43 projects!
Project Documentation! OGC Standards Documentation!
Success
FOSS4G provided a printing run
Two weeks of QA prior to FOSS4G
5% failure rate (a couple projects need workarounds)
Templates provided for overview documentation

Sponsorship
FOSS4G
Paid for each Printing Run (Thank you!)
CRCSI
Paid for a Printing Run
Other
LISAsoft: supplied staff
Autodesk: Hired Trevor Wekel to package up MapGuide Open Source for inclusion
OSDM
Paid for a QA run of the Project Overviews
Information Center for the Env. At University of California

In-Kind Contributions
OGC – Documentation on Standards
In layman terms (good to see!)
Project Communities
Programs!
Documentation!
Packagers
Templates for Project Developers
Build Scripts
Quality Assurance

Why is OSGeo Live Successful Today
Gap between ...
Developers who write the software
Cost of writing “proper” Linux installers was too expensive
Producing DVDs takes too much time
And installers who package it for others
Cost of figuring out the software too expensive
Cost of describing the software too expensive
OSGeo Live bridges this Gap
“project management” for developers and installers
Arrange sponsorship for DVD print runs
Contact point for conferences and education programs

OSGeo Live is Valuable
Great example of collaboration to produce value!
Conferences:
Provide Printing, and get a great ready-to-run DVD for your delegates
A bit more effort and you can brand to match your conference

How to Help!

Web Services Web Services deegree GeoNetwork GeoServer GeoServer_MARK.png MapGuide Open Souce MapServer ZOO Project 52'North QGIS MapServer

Web Services
This is actually where a lot of the action is, support for Standards is important here
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) / ISO TC211 Standards
Web Map Service – draws a map
Web Feature Service – raw vector+attribtues=feature data
Web Coverage Service – raw raster data
Web Processing Service – remote modelling and analysis
Sensor Observation Service – data collection from field
OGC has supplied an intro for the OSGeoLive
No clear cut distinction between web services and vertical web mapping solutions
This is about interoperability so you get to choose
These components are often included in vertical solutions

52°North WPS
Core GIS functions:
Simple Buffer Algorithm
Douglas Peucker Algorithm
Intersection Algorithm
Back-end algorithms available through:
Sextante

Maps and Navigation
This is what it is all about – the data sets (GIS without data – what is the point?)
Things to look for in mapping data
Where does information comes from? Professional body, government, or crowd-sourcing
Is the data styled (and is it styled well)
What purpose was the data collected for? printing? Printing a t-shirt? Or scientific analysis
Data license – is your planned use covered?
Things to look for in navigation
Current high quality data – anything else is just lost
High performance shortest path algorithms
Be careful with boat navigation (please!)
