After several years of preparations and testing, the Department of Health and Environment of the City of Munich is happy to report that gvSIG 1.11 has now been incorporated into the City of Munich’s standard software portfolio, which means that everyone in the city administration who needs gvSIG on their desktop can have it assigned with an automatic installation procedure and is ready to go! This also means that gvSIG has finally left the confines of the Department of Health and Environment and is taking another step in the process of establishing it as an OGC compliant, Open Source alternative to proprietary software throughout the municipality. In order to support this process further and spread the news, an internal 2-day training course has been developed, targeted at an audience already familiar with GIS concepts and ready to try out a state of the art open source GIS application. Like this:

Comparison of open source software hosting facilities A source code repository is a file archive and web hosting facility where large amounts of source code are kept, either publicly or privately. They are often used by open-source projects and other multi-developer projects to handle various versions. They help developers submit patches of code in an organized fashion. Often these web sites support version control, bug tracking, release management, mailing lists, and wiki-based documentation. People who write software retain their copyright when their software is posted to any open-source software hosting facilities, including the "non-gnu" section of GNU Savannah—with the exception of contributors to FSF-copyrighted programs at GNU Savannah.[1][2][3]

Blog — All the maps that are fit to blog Nottingham Sprint, Wednesday 18th Sept September 11th, 2013 by Tim Schaub · 5 Comments If you’re planning on going to FOSS4G and are interested in OpenLayers 3, please join us for an open sprint on Wednesday 18th Sept on the University of Nottingham campus (Humanities A3). Core developers of the library will be on hand, and contributors of all sorts are welcome. We’ll start off with an overview of the library and a discussion about the current status and future plans.

Categorize markers with MarkerClusterer - Google Maps Playground Map Data Map data ©2014 Google, INEGI category: Map Description MarkerClusterer library allows you to control bunch of markers easily. Too Many Markers! - API Google Карт Luke Mahe and Chris Broadfoot, Google Geo APIs TeamDecember 2010 Introduction Some applications are required to display a large number of locations or markers.

GeoSciML GeoSciML or Geoscience Markup Language is a GML Application Schema that can be used to transfer information about geology, with an emphasis on the "interpreted geology" that is conventionally portrayed on geologic maps. Its feature-type catalogue includes Geologic Unit, Mapped Feature, Earth Material, Geologic Structure, and specializations of these, as well as Borehole and other observational artefacts. It was created by, and is governed by, the Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) to support interoperability of information served from Geologic Surveys and other data custodians. 3 Get things done with ease, comfort and control. GNOME 3 has been designed from the ground up to help you have the best possible computing experience. Learn about what it has to offer.

Стилизованные карты - JavaScript API Google Карт (версия 3) Using a styled map, you can customize the presentation of the Google base maps, changing the visual display of such elements as roads, parks, and built-up areas. Hint: You can use styling to prevent businesses, points of interest and other features from appearing on the map. See the sample for hiding map features with styling. Technical Collaboration What is GeoSciML GeoSciML is an XML–based data transfer standard for the exchange of digital geoscientific information. It accommodates the representation and description of features typically found on geological maps, as well as being extensible to other geoscience data such as drilling, sampling, and analytical data. GeoSciML provides a standard data structure for a suite of common geologic features (eg, geologic units, structures, earth materials) and artefacts of geological investigations (eg, boreholes, specimens, measurements). Supporting objects such as the geologic timescale and vocabularies are also provided as linked resources, so that they can be used as classifiers for the primary objects in the GeoSciML standard.

25 free open source projects IT pros will love Although it's popular these days to pooh-pooh the advertising-supported, for-profit SourceForge in favor of GitHub, the SourceForge folks want to remind you that the forge still hosts more than 300,000 projects and serves up a good 4 million downloads a day. We asked SourceForge's new community manager and longtime open source coder, Rich Bowen, to sniff out a few of the cool, lesser-known projects he thinks IT folks will love. What follows are his picks, along with a few of our own.
