Boost.Geometry talk is scheduled for BoostCon’10 conference. Thanks to Barend Gehrels, Boost.Geometry team will be represented on the conference.
In spite of the fact I’m listed as a speaker for BoostCon’10, I will not attend this amazing event. I’ve planned to be there, I can’t make it this year, unfortunately.
Tomasz Kubik from OSGeo Polish Chapter announced WOGIS 2010 conference:

A few minutes ago, ACCU Conference Chair Giovanni Asproni announced that registrations to ACCU 2010 conference are now open.

It’s a must-not-miss event!
I started my Open Source Software advantures as a developer around 2002. I haven’t been maintaining a project for longer than a couple of years, but I have decent experience in working with aged and well-settled projects. I have made observations. Here, one talk especially interests me. It should be intesteing to every long time maintainers of Open Source projects based on C++ programming language. It is Renovating a legacy C++ project by noble ACCU member Alan Griffiths.
This is video with Paul Ramsey keynote at the Free and Open Source Software For Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference in Sydney. It’s not a high quality video, but the content delivered by Paul is high-end, as always.
Thanks go to OpenGeo for delivering the videos.
I’ve just finished uploading photos taken on the OSGIS UK 2009 in Nottingham, so here is the set.
I’ve re-re-re-learned the lesson that light conditions in a conference venue is bad and I should always bring a proper strobe. Otherwise, pictures are dark or very grained (high ISO) or blured (mostly, unless your name is Arnold The Steel Grip). Ah, one more thing, don’t buy a DSLR with lens included, it simply is a waste of money. The kit lens is a piece of @#$%^&!, so just buy a body and then buy a proper (read: expansive) lens from Pentax (or Sigma). To quote the classics:
you are awesome
you have awesome camera
but it’s useless
without (proper) lens
Anyway, it’s always nice to have some photolog after events, even if the pictures are of bad quality.
Tomorrow early morning I’m leaving to Nottingham to attend the OSGIS UK 2009 conference. It’s been long time since FOSS4G 2007 and I didn’t make it to Cape Town last year, so I’m looking forward to meet FOSS4G and OSGeo folks in UK.
A few minutes ago, Suchith Anand announced there will be live streaming transmission available from OSGIS sessions. This is cool!
By the way, does anyone remember a kind of pioneer transmission from FOSS4G 2006 in Lausanne? The videos are still linked but seem to be unavailable. Pity. It would be cool to archive them somewhere on foss4g.org.
