Bill Hoffman from Kitware gives presentation about CMake and a pack of related tools to the happiest easygoing working nation on the Earth:
It’s worth to watch if interested in CMake.

Testing libLAS with CMake
As a part of CMake configuration for libLAS, I’ve enabled support CTest. It is CMake test driver program that can be used to run automated tests and perform continuous integration. I also registered libLAS at CDash testing server.
CDash aggregates, analyzes and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world
Check libLAS dedicated quality dashboard – registration is required it is public project and available for anonymous visitors to browse the dashboard (thanks to Julien from Kitware for quick fix).
Anyone who is would like to build libLAS using CMake and run tests can find details on the CMake article on the Wiki. I would also encourage interested users to issue make Continuous to submit test results to the dashboard.
Feedback kindly wanted!
osgeo.codepad.org
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.
Translating TerraSolid .bin to ASPRS LAS
New LiDAR data translator has been added to the collection of libLAS utilities (docs). Two days ago, Howard submitted first version of ts2las program which can be used to convert .bin files produced with TerraScan software from TerraSolid to .las file in ASPRS LAS 1.2 format:
ts2las -i input.bin -o output.las
The nice thing is that users will be are able to translate files in TerraSolid .bin format without loading MicroStation software.
The ts2las is expected to be included in libLAS 1.3 release. In the meantime, testers are strongly welcome and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
LAS Data Triangulation Tool
Two days ago Martin Isenburg announced new tool added to LASTools package (Martin’s tools where used as an inspiration and foundation to build libLAS package). It’s las2tin program:
A little tool available that triangulates LIDAR in LAS format and stores the result either as a (self-contained) OBJ file or as a list of indexed triangles in ASCII format
