Camptocamp will be present at the FOSS4G 2011 taking place in Denver, Colorado, USA from September 12 to 16, 2011.
Bronze sponsor of the event, Camptocamp Geospatial Solutions team will present its latest GIS developments, workshops and talks. Stay tuned for more details!
Amazon Web Services presents on its website a detailed case study on the deployment on the cloud of the Federal Geographical Data by Swisstopo, the Swiss Federal Office of Topography.
Camptocamp successfully carried out this implementation thanks to the collaborative work of its “Geospatial Solutions” and “Infrastructure Solutions” teams.
This innovative Web 2.0 project was made possible thanks to:
the use of the MapFish Framework, whose flexibility and modern architecture fully use cloud hosting,
the implementation of an infrastructure fully observing the philosophy of the cloud, particularly the use of a system of deployment and of server management automation,
the skills and top-notch competencies of Camptocamp engineering teams,
a perfect command of these new technologies.
This study shows the flexibility of the implemented solutions, from a highly efficient and adaptable Web-GIS project set-up on a virtual server to a complete SDI, hosted on the cloud and consisting of more than 50 servers.
Camptocamp group is looking for a Senior Geospatial Open Source Developer to complete its Geospatial Solutions team, an Experienced GNU/Linux specialist to complete its Infrastructure Solutions team, and an ERP Project Manager and Functional Analyst (Logistics / Supply) to complete its Business Solutions team.
Anyone meeting any of the above positions requirements can send his/her application including a motivation letter, CV, copies of diplomas, work certificates and references by email ( job@camptocamp.com) or by mail at Camptocamp SA, PSE-A, CH-1015 Lausanne.
Bronze sponsor of the event, Camptocamp’s contributions will be numerous.

Amazon Web Services présente une étude de cas détaillant la mise en ligne sur le cloud de l’Infrastructure Fédérale de Données Géographiques par swisstopo. Camptocamp a porté cette réalisation en mettant en œuvre les synergies nécessaire à la réussite d’un tel programme entre les divisions “Geospatial Solutions” et “Infrastructure Solutions”.
Ce projet Web2.0 novateur a été rendu possible grâce à:
Cette étude de cas montre en filigrane la souplesse des solutions mises en œuvre par Camptocamp, allant d’un projet WebSig hautement performant et adaptable installé sur un serveur virtuel jusqu’à une IDS complète hébergée sur le cloud comprenant plusieurs dizaines de serveurs.
Press Release, Lausanne – June 10th, 2010 – Camptocamp announces its participation in the GeoBI initiative, a new international initiative focused on Location Intelligence, available at www.geobi.org .
The term Location Intelligence refers to all those processes, technologies, applications and practices capable to combine spatial data (Geographical Information System) with business data (Business Intelligence), in order to gain critical insights, to better support decision-making processes and to optimize business activities. In other words, Location Intelligence allows to connect various types of information to cartographic data, to locate them and to consequently increase the value of the existing information systems.
The initiative aims to aggregate companies, organizations, project communities and individuals into an open community aiming to foster the cooperation in the Location Intelligence domain and to support research activities. This allows to convert the results into innovative enterprise applications as well as to enrich and integrate the existing Open Source GIS and BI solutions, through the adoption of open standards.
Membership is open to anyone who shares the initiative vision and organization. Besides Camptocamp, charter member , the initiative members include the Italian companies Engineering Group and Inova Open Solutions, the French company Altic, the Canadian company Spatialytics and the SESAR research lab, Information Technology Department, University of Milan.
The initiative promotes the creation of a network of support services, according to which the initiative members provide professional support to the developed solutions .
Together with Altic and other partners, Camptocamp is already involved in GEO+ , a Web 2.0 research project. GEO+’s goal is to develop an open source platform allowing for content management, indexation and data analysis combined with spatial data. The project will focus in particular on the connection between Mapfish and open source Business Intelligence solutions.

I got this week three times the same question: “I have an OGC web service, which is secured (basic auth, for example). For my web mapping application, is is possible to access to it without login ?”
The answer is NO !!!
In order to secure a web service, you need an authentication process and an authorization process. Basically, you need to know who is connected and what are the rights of the connected user. If one of these elemnts is missing, you will not be able to secure your web service.
Of course, you can create a nice server proxy that will filter/modify or whatever the request to the secured web service (in this case, the proxy will send the login information to the secured OGC service), but this proxy will basically expose what you want to expose to the web applications. It will not secure anything, it will simply hide what you don’t want to show to the web application. MapServer can, for example, plays this role.
So, a choice has to be made: login or no login !
