Slides of my very gentle introduction to Boost Geometry library are now available to download from the FOSS4G 2010 website.
The presentation gives a basic overview of the library and tries to explain how it is different to existing solutions but in such way so it’s also understandable to non-C++ programmers. Those who are looking forward to digging out very details of Boost Geometry, I recommend to check presentation which Barend Gehrels gave at BoostCon 2010.
FOSS4G 2009 Tokyo/Osaka by papadas
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.
The OSGeo Foundation Chief Returning Officer (CRO) has posted new nominations to OSGeo Charter Members.
Personally, I’m glad to see Robert Szczepanek from Poland listed among other noble members of OSGeo Community. Robert has played an important & leading role in FOSS and FOSS4G advocacy, education and development in our Polish yard for long time:
It’s a good news for OSGeo Community in Poland.
I’ve just spotted a new mailing list emerged after recent pre-FOSS4G conference preparations. It is benchmarking@lists.osgeo.org devoted to performance testing of OSGeo and other Web Service engines.
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.
…school, job, trips, move, army, school, move, new job…lots of things have been happening in my life with speed of light, so I’ve had to change most of my plans, especially those about traveling. And, I can’t make it to attend the FOSS4G 2008 conference.
Nevertheless, I’m still listed next to two positions of the conference program and that’s correct. I planned to help Frank Warmerdam during the Raster Processing and Preparation with GDAL workshop and to give one presentation – Introduction to ASPRS LAS data processing with libLAS.
Apparently, I won’t be able to assist Frank during the workshop – I’m sorry Frank! and I’m crossing my fingers for you. And, the libLAS presentation will be given by…Frank – crossing my fingers harder :-) Originally, I promised Frank I will provide him with presentation slides and I’ll be a virtual assistant. Actually, I failed even with that :-(
Fortunately, Hobu took over this task and prepared PDF document with a set of fantastic slides. Frank and Howard have really saved my ass and I’d like to send them veeery big thanks!
I regret I can’t come to Cape Town, to experience the fantastic atmosphere, to see hundreds geogeeks together, to have a great time with friends and to drink a little too much beer with Tim. See you guys in Sydney, 2009!
