FOSS4G 2007 Initial idea of creating a DVD
Tip Many good things start at FOSS4G
Go to a Bird of Feather session!
FOSS4G 2009 – Version 2 Version 2.0 “Arramagong” produced by LISAsoft
The name means “Wombats run down holes”
Cameron Shorter inspired everyone to bring this one in Contents Increase to 21 projects
Xbuntu based, with an actual build process Success! FOSS4G provided a printing run
Used an example “template” script inviting others to fill in the blanks in order to take part
48 hour build cycle (automation!)
FIG 2010 – Version 3 An international Surveyors conference “Arramagong”
A wombat is like a cute bager Contents 34 projects represented Success LISAsoft sponsored a printing run
Tyler Mitchell
Used in training courses
FOSS4G 2010 – Version 4 Version 4.0 “OSGeo Live”
100% less wombat references Contents 43 projects!
Project Documentation! OGC Standards Documentation! Success FOSS4G provided a printing run
Two weeks of QA prior to FOSS4G 5% failure rate (a couple projects need workarounds) Templates provided for overview documentation
Sponsorship FOSS4G Paid for each Printing Run (Thank you!) CRCSI Paid for a Printing Run Other LISAsoft: supplied staff
Autodesk: Hired Trevor Wekel to package up MapGuide Open Source for inclusion OSDM Paid for a QA run of the Project Overviews Information Center for the Env. At University of California
In-Kind Contributions OGC – Documentation on Standards In layman terms (good to see!) Project Communities Programs!
Documentation! Packagers Templates for Project Developers
Build Scripts
Quality Assurance
Why is OSGeo Live Successful Today Gap between ...
Developers who write the software Cost of writing “proper” Linux installers was too expensive
Producing DVDs takes too much time And installers who package it for others Cost of figuring out the software too expensive
Cost of describing the software too expensive OSGeo Live bridges this Gap “project management” for developers and installers
Arrange sponsorship for DVD print runs
Contact point for conferences and education programs
OSGeo Live is Valuable Great example of collaboration to produce value!
Conferences: Provide Printing, and get a great ready-to-run DVD for your delegates
A bit more effort and you can brand to match your conference

Web Services Web Services deegree GeoNetwork GeoServer GeoServer_MARK.png MapGuide Open Souce MapServer ZOO Project 52'North QGIS MapServer
Web Services This is actually where a lot of the action is, support for Standards is important here
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) / ISO TC211 Standards Web Map Service – draws a map
Web Feature Service – raw vector+attribtues=feature data
Web Coverage Service – raw raster data
Web Processing Service – remote modelling and analysis
Sensor Observation Service – data collection from field
OGC has supplied an intro for the OSGeoLive No clear cut distinction between web services and vertical web mapping solutions This is about interoperability so you get to choose
These components are often included in vertical solutions
52°North WPS Core GIS functions: Simple Buffer Algorithm
Douglas Peucker Algorithm
Intersection Algorithm Back-end algorithms available through: Sextante
ArcGIS Server Input and Output formats supported: Vector Data: GML2, GML3, SHP files, KML, WKT (Well-known Text)
Raster Data: Geotiff, AsciiGrid A browser based client
