I’m delighted to announce Daniel Morissette has joined the Planet OSGeo with his very own blog launched recently: Geo Gears, Nuts & Bolts!
In this blog, I talk about open source geospatial software, cool mapping applications and toys… and anything I might find of interest –Daniel
Welcome Daniel!
Tomasz Kubik from OSGeo Polish Chapter announced WOGIS 2010 conference:
This is the second conference on open software organized by the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, and the Polish Chapter of OSGeo.
Check the WOGIS 2010 conference website for details.
Following quick announce a few days ago, I started shifting GEOS source code directories to flatten the structure a bit and to separate header files (.h) from implementation files (.cpp).
The whole process is documented as ticket #315 in the GEOS Trac. The transition has been remarkable smooth. The mission accomplished.
I’ve managed to build and successfully test GEOS with the following configurations:
All build configuration should work well. Let me know if any doesn’t.
I’d like to announce that Frank Warmerdam, one of the noble characters of the Free and Open Source Software community has joined the Planet OSGeo. Frank’s Geo-Geeking blog is available at http://fwarmerdam.blogspot.com.
Welcome Frank!

Online compilers are another generation of collaborative debugging tools delivered to Open Source communities. The overall idea is great. Actually, I can not imagine online discussions on IRC channel without being able to paste code snippets or compilation logs.
The codepad.org provides feature called private and project pastes. Some time ago I proposed private general purpose paste service dedicated to OSGeo communities. it is hosted at osgeo.pastebin.com and people has found it useful, as I can see. Today, I registered osgeo.codepad.org – a programmers-oriented paste service. Perhaps, people will find it useful too..
Users of the World’s second best programming editor, Vim (first place taken by Emacs), can install codepad.vim plug-in and send Vim buffers as pastes directly to the codepad.org service. Kudos to Nicolas Weber for the plug-in!
I’ve taken the liberty and modified the plug-in to use the private service at osgeo.codepad.org – here is custom codepad.vim plug-in.
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.
