MapFish at Foss4G: Day 4

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

Last day at Foss4G:
- It started early by a presentation of GeoBretagne from Eric and Claude: MapFish in a java environment for SDI based on OWS.
- Geoprisma has been introduced and we have to follow this tool used for the securization of SDI infrastructure.
- Overcrowded rooms for the MapFish (presentation) and GeoExt (presentation) presentations.
- MapServer vs GeoServer: advantage to MapServer

Picture of yesterday’s MapFish BOF (summary of the BOF)

And an encouraging graph at the end: the frequentation of the MapFish website:

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 3

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

Interesting day today. We have seen a fast growing interest for GeoExt: the tutorial was overcrowded.
Otherwise, on the presentations side, some news:
- Ingres wants to support spatial data for end of 2010. We’ll see…
- Tim Schaub’s presentation about OpenLayers was just perfect (The main point is summarized by Erilem’s statement on twitter: no longer use Layer.GML and Layer.WFS, use Layer.Vector, Format, Protocol and Strategy)
- We can’t expect MapServer to support WFS-T (this is because of its architecture, according to the presenters)
- Otherwise, PostGIS continues its succesful way

We finally made a very interesting BOF about MapFish. If you want to know more, don’t miss the discussion on the mailing list.

And of course, I have to mention the nice cruise at the end of the day ;-)

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 2

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

After the very, very impressive presentation of Paul Ramsey:

here are my highlights of the day:
- Cloud computing: the future way of distributing geodata. Bastian Schaeffer made a nice explanation of Amazon and Google App Engine service and Claude presented the map.veloland.ch case study
- GeoCouch: maybe the geospatial database of the future, at least for web
- WPS plattform: Zoo project, mainly the server for now. Probably with a GeoExt client soon ;-)

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 1

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

After a very, very long trip, we arrived at Foss4G last week-end.
Today, it was workshop day. I followed the GeoMondrian/Spatialytics workshop and was really impressed by this tool. I can imagine thousand applications which uses the power of the spatial OLAP.
During the afternon, Claude, Eric, François and myself were happy to see 25 persons following the MapFish workshop. Don’t hesitate to try it.

LiveDVD with MapFish

You can find a nice collection of OS Software in the LiveDVD prepared for FOSS4G 2009. MapFish can be tested from this LiveDVD.
Cu at Foss4G for the Practical Introduction to MapFish ;-)

Emmanuel Belo war letzte Woche in Hannover für FOSSGIS 2009.
Die Vortragspräsentation (4MB) zeigt die Diversität der Anwendung dass Sie, mit MapFish, herstellen können. Der proceeding ist auch interessant.

Nouvelles de Fossgis 2009 Hannovre

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 by Emmanuel Belo

La manifestation FOSSGIS-2009 fait le plein avec quelques 440 participants inscrits pour cette 4ème édition qui revient à Hannovre lieu du tout premier événement. Une bonne vingtaine de stands dans la cours centrale de l’Université de Hannovre permet de visualiser des démonstrations lives des projets open source. Le stratus matinal se dissipe pour de belles après-midi ensoleillées dans cette ville du nord de l’Allemagne.

Camptocamp est citée dans maintes présentations, notamment l’intéressante introduction à GeoNetwork donnée par David Arndt qui souligne le rôle moteur du projet geocat.ch pour l’intégration de MapFish dans la prochaine version de GeoNetwork.

Lors de l’événement social, c’était un vrai plaisir que de passer la soirée avec Andreas et Arne d’OpenGeo. La motivation pour arriver rapidement à une version 1.0 de GeoExt est grande et bien présente!

Du côté suisse, la délégation est bien fournie avec, pour ne citer que quelques personnes, Pirmin de Sourcepole très convaincu par la rapidité de mise en oeuvre de composants MapFish avec Ruby on Rails, l’équipe du Canton de Soleure fervente utilisatrice de logiciel open source, Andréas de la ville d’Uster, Marco développeur assidu de QGIS ainsi que Marc de Swisstopo en observateur attentif des dernières tendances technologiques dans le domaine geospatial.

A noter l’excellente conférence d’Arnulf recadrant bien les débats REST/SOAP – architecture vs technologie – et fervent utilisateur d’une architecture REST afin de démocratiser l’accès aux services sans passer par des solutions SOAP, souvent propriétaires et onéreuses pour des IND.

Je me réjouis de la session jeudi matin centrée sur OpenLayers qui propose une présentation de GeoExt par OpenGeo ainsi que la présentation de MapFish que je donnerai.
