SVN hosting

2007-09-28T09:44:33Z

⚠️Stephan: /* SVN repository with GForge at Intevation */

The goal is to move to SVN infrastructure for GRASS 7. The hosting of SVN needs to be discussed. A new repository has to be created in any case, despite its physical location.

== SVN repository with GForge at Intevation ==

GRASS GForge Server: http://wald.intevation.org/tracker/?group_id=21

'''Pro:'''
* continuity for GRASS
* GForge includes different SCMs, like CVS, SVN, Mercurial, ...

'''Contra:'''
* GForge is not really accepted by GRASS developers, low usage (much lower than with old RT). Important developers are not even registered at all
* Wiki is yet on another server
* [[Tracking#Buggy_bugtracker.3F|more GForge bugs]]

== SVN repository with Trac at OSGeo ==

OSGeo SVN/Trac Server: http://trac.osgeo.org/ . There are several SVN/Trac instances running, e.g. the [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ GDAL SVN/Trac Server].

Main servers are at [http://www.peer1.net/en/colocation.asp Peer1 colocation site], adminstered by the OSGeo System Administration Committee ([http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/SAC OSGeo-SAC]).

'''Pro:'''
* Integrated infrastructure with other OSGeo projects (GDAL, ...)
* SVN and Trac nicely integrated, also Wiki integrated ([http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki Wiki example])
* Trac shows patches/diffs in SVN ([http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/attachment/ticket/1570/altitudeMode_SVN_HEAD.patch example1], [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/12164 example2])
* login (signon) embedded in OSGeo LDAP: single signon for OSGeo infrastructure
* Trac advantages
** [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/timeline Timeline] and [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/roadmap roadmap] provided for semi-automated release management (milestones)
** Auto-generation of release notes ([http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.4.1 GDAL example]) which we currently do by hand for thousands of fixes
** [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser Source code browser] integrated | Alternative [http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=grass7svn viewcvs interface for SVN]
** [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki Wiki] integrated
** Ticket notification in IRC channel and via [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/timeline RSS]
** tickets can moved around among OSGeo projects
** easy ticket monitoring and [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/report retrieval]
** nice layout
* potential new translation portal of OSGeo would integrate, too (we suggest [http://pootle.wordforge.org/ pootle])
* integration with [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/BuildBot_Configuration BuildBot] (automated multi-platform test builds)

'''Contra:'''
* some time already invested in Intevation's GForge

How to participate in IRC communication

2007-05-11T10:26:08Z

⚠️Stephan: added GAV-channel

==Background==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Internet Relay Chat] (IRC) is an online system of communication. It is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication. The basic means of communication in an established IRC session is a channel. Users can join to channels (using the command /join #channelname) and then send messages to it, which are then relayed to all other users in the same channel. Users access IRC networks by connecting a client to a server. There are many client and server implementations. Most IRC servers do not require users to log in, but a user will have to set a nickname before being connected.

The GRASS community uses the dedicated channel ([irc://irc.freenode.net/grass #grass] on irc.freenode.net), feel free to join.
The german GAV-community uses the channel [irc://urc.freenode.net/gav #gav].
There are many other geo related channels such as [irc://irc.freenode.net/gdal #gdal], [irc://irc.freenode.net/qgis #qgis], [irc://irc.freenode.net/mapserver #mapserver], [irc://irc.freenode.net/osgeo #osgeo], [irc://irc.freenode.net/proj #proj] etc.

People interested in being involved in the [http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/ Debian Gis project] can join a dedicated channel ([irc://irc.oftc.net/debian-gis #debian-gis] on irc.oftc.net). A
[irc://irc.oftc.net/geo #geo] channel is also available on the same network.

==Logs of communication==

Thanks to Gary Sherman (QGIS project) and his friendly 'sigq' IRC bot, the communication is archived:

* GRASS (#grass) - http://logs.qgis.org/grass/
* OSGeo Foundation (#osgeo) - http://logs.qgis.org/osgeo/
* QGIS (#qgis) - http://logs.qgis.org/slogs

==How to do it the first time==

#Get a IRC client software (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients software list]). We like the [https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=16 Chatzilla extension for Firefox], [http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ gaim], [http://xchat.org/ xchat] and on MacOSX the [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy] software.
#Connect to IRC, for "our" channels to a freenode.net server ([http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml list of servers]).
#Define some settings: Here some useful commands which you will enter into the field to also enter the communication (be aware to not start such commands with a space!). Anything started with /command will not be visible to the others:

Web based alternatives to join a channel (don't forget to select a reasonable nick name):
* Use the [http://irc.telascience.org/ OSGeo Web interface to IRC/#grass]
* Use the [http://irc.netsplit.de/webchat/?net=freenode&room=%23grass Netsplit JAVA interface to IRC/#grass]

<pre>
# select nick name
/nick yournickname

## better don't show your email address:
/ns set hide email on

### register (only one time needed) - PW is in clear text!!
/msg NickServ register [password] [email]

### identify yourself to the IRC server (always needed) (xxxx == pw)
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY xxxx
</pre>

====Join a channel====

<pre>
/join #grass
</pre>

Now you will see (depends on your client) the list of people lurking in the channel. You may convey your greetings and go ahead for conversation...
See below how to automate the identification process.

http://grass.itc.it/images/irc_chatzilla.png



The communication is logged (see [http://logs.qgis.org/grass/ #grass archives]).

==Some useful hints==

With chatzilla and other clients you can set your nickname in the preferences. You can also open several channels at time. It's convenient to automate the identification.

===Chatzilla auto-identification===

You can put the next command as "autoscript" into chatzilla's settings
for each channel, see Edit -> Preferences -> Global Settings -> Startup tab
-> Auto-url [someone please verify this, probably it's sufficient to type
below one time into chatzilla]:
<pre>
# auto-identify yourself to the IRC server (xxxx == pw)
/network-pref autoperform msg nickserv identify xxxx
</pre>

To quickly open the GRASS channel in Chatzilla, simply click here:
irc://freenode/grass

Try to find the [http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml next freenode server] to have speedy connection (e.g., Italy: irc://calvino.freenode.net/grass).

===TAB extension===

A nice feature is to use TAB key for type completion of nick names
in the channel - just try it!

===IRC Ghosts===

If your communication crashed, it can happen that your nick is still online, a so-called "ghost". When you login again, an underscore will be added to your nick name. To takeover your own nick name, you have to kill the "ghost" by entering next command with your password (takes some seconds):

<pre>
# kill ghost after crash (xxxx == pw)
/msg NickServ ghost yournickname xxxx
</pre>

The nick server will then remove the "ghost" and give you your nick name back.

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-09-25T17:14:25Z

⚠️Stephan: Link to ISO added

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):

** How to export data for Paraview (2D, 3D raster, 3D Vector)
** How to visualise them

===Live-CD for GRASS-related workshops===

Currently Stephan Holl and Otto Dassau prepare to build a new 'GISIX' LiveCD based on [http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html KNOPPIX 5.0.1.] including all necessary software packages for the GRASS, R and Quantum GIS workshops.

* [probably forgotten something]

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc1====

* <del>LIDAR Stuff missing (now in 6.2 release branch, maybe few fixes needed; LIDAR data has MN)</del>
* <del>data for workshops missing</del>
* <del>some QGIS header-files are missing in /usr/include/qgis</del>
* KNOPPIX Info screen (index.html) at the beginning still supports to many languages, not yet adopted to LausanneLiveCD
* landcover vector map in spearfish is broken at least for QGIS, in GRASS it works.
* <del>VTK/Paraview for the 3D workshop in Lausanne is missing</del>
* <del>terraview is missing</del>
* <del>Permissions of .grassrc6 are wrong (need change to knoppix:knoppix) </del>
* <del>sqlitebrowser missing </del>
* <del>pgadmin3 missing</del>
* <del>remove of OpenOffice2 -> '''all presentation need to be in PDF!!'''</del>
* <del>All presentations are missing.</del> ''':
** Workshop material has to be [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Foss4g2006_wks#Upload_your_workshop_files_by_September_1st uploaded] to the conference server by 1st Sept.'''
** Presentations should be better uploaded through http://www.foss4g2006.org, the Indico system (login -> My Contributions -> Choose a contribution -> Submit material)

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc2====

* <del>ODBC packages (unixodbc, unixodbc-devel, unixodbc-bin, libmyodbc) are missing</del>
* <del>Server-starts on Desktop do not work</del>
* <del>Postgresql-database renamed from grass to spearfish</del>
* <del>grass vector modules are not working (gdal lib problem) (install own-build gdal/gdal-grass instead of sid-ones).</del>
* <del>the fullscreen mode of xpdf does not work properly (SH: we should use kpdf, which provides a nice presentation-mode)</del>

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc3====
* <del>OpenOffice-button still in KDE-panel</del>
* <del>include new R-stuff from CRAN and recompile against gdal-1.3.2</del>

* please download from here: [http://198.202.74.220/foss4g/ http://198.202.74.220/foss4g/]

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]
* New approaches in modelling, analysis and visualisation of volume data with GRASS and VTK [[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneConferencePresent_soeren.pdf]] by Soeren Gebbert

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

* <del>GRASS dataset [http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneDemoData.tar.bz2] for 3D workshop parts "3D-vectors in GIS GRASS (Jachym)" and "GRASS 3D data and VTK (Soeren)"</del>
* <del>LIDAR-Dataset I [http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/foss4g/] from Helena (preliminary!)</del>
* <del>LIDAR-Dataset II [http://mpa.itc.it/markus/foss4g2006/lidar_maria/] from Maria</del>
* <del>LIDAR-Dataset III from Roberto Antolin (sent to me directly)</del>
* Optical image data for Lidar/Imagery Workshop [http://mpa.itc.it/markus/foss4g2006/imagery_markus/] from Markus

* thanks to all who helped testing the image, AFAIK it worked on all workshops nicely. THanks! (SH)

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]
* New approaches in modelling, analysis and visualisation of volume data with GRASS and VTK [[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneConferencePresent_soeren.pdf]] by Soeren Gebbert

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

* <del>GRASS dataset [http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneDemoData.tar.bz2] for 3D workshop parts "3D-vectors in GIS GRASS (Jachym)" and "GRASS 3D data and VTK (Soeren)"</del>

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-09-05T17:56:56Z

⚠️Stephan: /* Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc2 */

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

⚠️Stephan: small corrections

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-09-01T13:26:00Z

⚠️Stephan: /* Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc3 */

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-09-01T06:48:24Z

⚠️Stephan: /* Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc3 */

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Installing R for FOSS4G/GRASS - task view and packages

*** topographic analysis based on lidar data: r.slope.aspect, v.surf.rst, r.watershed, r.terraflow
*** (to be added if it works): create your lidar-based DEM and perform topographic analysis using GRASS6 and v.surf.rst on-line through GEONGRID project
** Optical data processing (very short)
*** import, visualization with color table improvements
*** geocoding with automatic search of ground control points
*** ratios, filtering
*** image classification with vectorization of results

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-08-29T13:17:41Z

⚠️Stephan: needed R stuff for Roger added

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

This would propably be sth. similar to the OSG'05 workshop from Markus and Kristen Perry, material at: http://mpa.itc.it/markus/osg05/

* '''teachers:'''
** Otto Dassau (head) (OD)
** Paolo Zatelli (PZ)
** Stephan Holl (SH)
** Jachym Cepicky (JC)

* '''abstract''' (topics):
** first steps with GRASS (and with Quantum GIS) (OD)
** data import and export
** vector data analysis (SH)
** basic raster data analysis (JC)
** image analysis (optical - short) (OD)
** visualization (nviz - short) (JC)

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):

====Power User Workshop: GRASS image processing (optical and Lidar)(Tuesday 16-18) (accepted)====

* '''teachers''':
** LIDAR: Helena Mitasova, Maria Brovelli
** Optical: Markus Neteler

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Lidar data basics, topo analysis, filtering:
*** what are lidar data and where to get them
*** import lidar DEMs and massive point data sets: r.in.gdal, v.in.ascii
*** detection of the surface objects (buildings, vegetation, ...)
*** data classification: terrain, terrain with double pulse, object, object with double pulse
*** compute high resolution DEMs from point data using v.surf.rst (relation between tension, smoothing, and level of detail) or Tykhonov regularized spline functions (v.bsplinet)
*** topographic analysis based on lidar data: r.slope.aspect, v.surf.rst, r.watershed, r.terraflow
*** (to be added if it works): create your lidar-based DEM and perform topographic analysis using GRASS6 and v.surf.rst on-line through GEONGRID project
** Optical data processing (very short)
*** import, visualization with color table improvements
*** geocoding with automatic search of ground control points
*** ratios, filtering
*** image classification with vectorization of results

====Power User Workshop: GRASS 3D and visualization (accepted)(Tuesday 11-13)====

* '''teachers''':
** Helena Mitasova (assistance, if needed)
** Massimo Cuomo (head?)
** Jachym Cepicky
** Soeren Gebbert

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-08-25T11:42:19Z

⚠️Stephan: /* Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc2 */

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

This would propably be sth. similar to the OSG'05 workshop from Markus and Kristen Perry, material at: http://mpa.itc.it/markus/osg05/

* '''teachers:'''
** Otto Dassau (head) (OD)
** Paolo Zatelli (PZ)
** Stephan Holl (SH)
** Jachym Cepicky (JC)

* '''abstract''' (topics):
** first steps with GRASS (and with Quantum GIS) (OD)
** data import and export
** vector data analysis (SH)
** basic raster data analysis (JC)
** image analysis (optical - short) (OD)
** visualization (nviz - short) (JC)
** creating analogue maps (JC)

====Power User Workshop 1: GRASS and external DBMS (Wednesday 14-16): (accepted)====

We can demonstrate database support by connecting GRASS to the most commonly used DBMS (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MySQL, SQLite, ...)

* '''teachers''':
** Stephan Holl (head) (SH)
** Otto Dassau (OD)
** Paolo Zatelli (PZ)
** Jachym Cepicky (JC)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Installation, prerequirements, configuration (SH)
*** SQLite (SH)
*** PostgreSQL (PZ)
*** MySQL
*** ODBC (OD)
*** Oracle (only theoreticaly) (SH)
** Configuration of external RDBMS to use as attribute-storage instead of DBF
*** Benefits of RDBMS and GRASS (PZ)
*** Sharing attribute-data with other applications (PZ)

** Configuration of spatialy enabled RDBMS (PostGIS) (PZ)
*** reading and writing from/to such RDBMS (PZ)
*** Using already existing data from such RDBMS (PZ)
** Hints for practical usage of external RDBMS.

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Installing R for FOSS4G/GRASS - task view and packages
** Spatial classes in R
** GRASS6/R interface
** Other FOSS4G/R interfaces (rgdal, aRT, ...)
** Using the interface to do geostatistics and interpolation
** Customising FOSS4G/GRASS-side scripts

====Power User Workshop: GRASS image processing (optical and Lidar)(Tuesday 16-18) (accepted)====

* '''teachers''':
** LIDAR: Helena Mitasova, Maria Brovelli
** Optical: Markus Neteler

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Lidar data basics, topo analysis, filtering:
*** what are lidar data and where to get them
*** import lidar DEMs and massive point data sets: r.in.gdal, v.in.ascii
*** detection of the surface objects (buildings, vegetation, ...)
*** data classification: terrain, terrain with double pulse, object, object with double pulse
*** compute high resolution DEMs from point data using v.surf.rst (relation between tension, smoothing, and level of detail) or Tykhonov regularized spline functions (v.bsplinet)
*** topographic analysis based on lidar data: r.slope.aspect, v.surf.rst, r.watershed, r.terraflow
*** (to be added if it works): create your lidar-based DEM and perform topographic analysis using GRASS6 and v.surf.rst on-line through GEONGRID project
** Optical data processing (very short)
*** import, visualization with color table improvements
*** geocoding with automatic search of ground control points
*** ratios, filtering
*** image classification with vectorization of results

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Installing R for FOSS4G/GRASS - task view and packages
** Spatial classes in R
** GRASS6/R interface
** Other FOSS4G/R interfaces (rgdal, aRT, ...)
** Using the interface to do geostatistics and interpolation
** Customising FOSS4G/GRASS-side scripts

====Power User Workshop: GRASS image processing (optical and Lidar)(Tuesday 16-18) (accepted)====

* '''teachers''':
** LIDAR: Helena Mitasova, Maria Brovelli
** Optical: Markus Neteler

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Lidar data basics, topo analysis, filtering:
*** what are lidar data and where to get them
*** import lidar DEMs and massive point data sets: r.in.gdal, v.in.ascii
*** detection of the surface objects (buildings, vegetation, ...)
*** data classification: terrain, terrain with double pulse, object, object with double pulse
*** compute high resolution DEMs from point data using v.surf.rst (relation between tension, smoothing, and level of detail) or Tykhonov regularized spline functions (v.bsplinet)
*** topographic analysis based on lidar data: r.slope.aspect, v.surf.rst, r.watershed, r.terraflow
*** (to be added if it works): create your lidar-based DEM and perform topographic analysis using GRASS6 and v.surf.rst on-line through GEONGRID project
** Optical data processing (very short)
*** import, visualization with color table improvements
*** geocoding with automatic search of ground control points
*** ratios, filtering
*** image classification with vectorization of results

* '''teachers''':
** Helena Mitasova (assistance, if needed)
** Massimo Cuomo (head?)
** Jachym Cepicky

* GDAL 1.3.2
* GDAL-OGR-GRASS plugin
* QGIS 0.8 SVN release 5713

* <del>data for workshops missing</del>
* <del>some QGIS header-files are missing in /usr/include/qgis</del>
* KNOPPIX Info screen (index.html) at the beginning still supports to many languages, not yet adopted to LausanneLiveCD

* <del>Postgresql-database renamed from grass to spearfish</del>
* grass vector modules are not working (gdal lib problem) (install own-build gdal/gdal-grass instead of sid-ones).
* the fullscreen mode of xpdf does not work properly

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]
* New approaches in modelling, analysis and visualisation of volume data with GRASS and VTK [[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneConferencePresent_soeren.pdf]] by Soeren Gebbert

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

===Live-CD for GRASS-related workshops===

Currently Stephan Holl and Otto Dassau prepare to build a new 'GISIX' LiveCD based on [http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html KNOPPIX 5.0.1.] including all necessary software packages for the GRASS, R and Quantum GIS workshops.

* GRASS 6.1 CVS (will be up-to-date then: [[GRASS 6.2 Feature Plan|6.2.0]], 6.3.-CVS may be too risky)
* GDAL 1.3.2
* GDAL-OGR-GRASS plugin
* QGIS 0.8 SVN release 5713
* QT4-devel/QGIS-devel files
* R 2.3.1 (and hopefully all needed libs for GRASS-interaction)

* Apache2
* some locales (EN, DE, FR, ?!)
* Lidar workshop: we have sample datasets + new v.lidar.* commands (in CVS now)
* [probably forgotten something]

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc1====

* <del>LIDAR Stuff missing (now in 6.2 release branch, maybe few fixes needed; LIDAR data has MN)</del>
* <del>data for workshops missing</del>
* <del>some QGIS header-files are missing in /usr/include/qgis</del>
* KNOPPIX Info screen (index.html) at the beginning still supports to many languages, not yet adopted to LausanneLiveCD
* landcover vector map in spearfish is broken at least for QGIS, in GRASS it works.
* <del>VTK/Paraview for the 3D workshop in Lausanne is missing</del>
* <del>terraview is missing</del>
* <del>Permissions of .grassrc6 are wrong (need change to knoppix:knoppix) </del>
* <del>sqlitebrowser missing </del>
* <del>pgadmin3 missing</del>
* <del>remove of OpenOffice2 -> '''all presentation need to be in PDF!!'''</del>
* All presentations are missing.

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc2====

* ODBC packages (unixodbc, unixodbc-devel, unixodbc-bin, libmyodbc) are missing

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]
* New approaches in modelling, analysis and visualisation of volume data with GRASS and VTK [[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneConferencePresent_soeren.pdf]] by Soeren Gebbert

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

* <del>GRASS dataset[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneDemoData.tar.bz2] for 3D workshop parts "3D-vectors in GIS GRASS (Jachym)" and "GRASS 3D data and VTK (Soeren)"</del>

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Installing R for FOSS4G/GRASS - task view and packages
** Spatial classes in R
** GRASS6/R interface
** Other FOSS4G/R interfaces (rgdal, aRT, ...)
** Using the interface to do geostatistics and interpolation
** Customising FOSS4G/GRASS-side scripts

====Power User Workshop: GRASS image processing (optical and Lidar)(Tuesday 16-18) (accepted)====

* '''teachers''':
** LIDAR: Helena Mitasova, Maria Brovelli
** Optical: Markus Neteler

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):
** Lidar data basics, topo analysis, filtering:
*** what are lidar data and where to get them
*** import lidar DEMs and massive point data sets: r.in.gdal, v.in.ascii
*** detection of the surface objects (buildings, vegetation, ...)
*** data classification: terrain, terrain with double pulse, object, object with double pulse
*** compute high resolution DEMs from point data using v.surf.rst (relation between tension, smoothing, and level of detail) or Tykhonov regularized spline functions (v.bsplinet)
*** topographic analysis based on lidar data: r.slope.aspect, v.surf.rst, r.watershed, r.terraflow
*** (to be added if it works): create your lidar-based DEM and perform topographic analysis using GRASS6 and v.surf.rst on-line through GEONGRID project
** Optical data processing (very short)
*** import, visualization with color table improvements
*** geocoding with automatic search of ground control points
*** ratios, filtering

===Live-CD for GRASS-related workshops===

Currently Stephan Holl and Otto Dassau prepare to build a new 'GISIX' LiveCD based on [http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html KNOPPIX 5.0.1.] including all necessary software packages for the GRASS, R and Quantum GIS workshops.

* GRASS 6.1 CVS (will be up-to-date then: 6.3.0?!)
* GDAL 1.3.2
* GDAL-OGR-GRASS plugin
* QGIS 0.8 SVN release 5713
* QT4-devel/QGIS-devel files
* R 2.3.1 (and hopefully all needed libs for GRASS-interaction)
** spgrass6
** spGDAL
** maptools
** rgdal
** sp
** aRT
* libterralib CVS
* Postgres 8.1.4
* PostGIS 1.1.2
* MySQL 5.0.22
* Apache2
* some locales (EN, DE, FR, ?!)
* Lidar workshop: we have sample datasets + new v.lidar.* commands (in CVS now)
* [probably forgotten something]

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc1====

* LIDAR Stuff missing (now in 6.2 release branch, maybe few fixes needed; LIDAR data has MN)
* data for workshops missing
* some QGIS header-files are missing in /usr/include/qgis
* KNOPPIX Info screen (index.html) at the beginning still supports to many languages, not yet adopted to LausanneLiveCD
* landcover vector map in spearfish is broken at least for QGIS, in GRASS it works.
* <del>VTK/Paraview for the 3D workshop in Lausanne is missing</del>
* <del>terraview is missing</del>
* <del>Permissions of .grassrc6 are wrong (need change to knoppix:knoppix) </del>
* <del>sqlitebrowser missing </del>
* <del>pgadmin3 missing</del>
* LIDAR dataset missing
* <del>remove of OpenOffice2 -> '''all presentation need to be in PDF!!'''</del>
* All presentations are missing.

====Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc2====

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

* GRASS dataset[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneDemoData.tar.bz2] for 3D workshop parts "3D-vectors in GIS GRASS (Jachym)" and "GRASS 3D data and VTK (Soeren)"
* LIDAR-Dataset I[http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/foss4g/] from Helena
* LIDAR-Dataset II[http://mpa.itc.it/markus/foss4g2006/] from Maria
* Missing: optical image data for Lidar/Imagery Workshop

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

===Workshop datasets===

* GRASS dataset[http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/files/LausanneDemoData.tar.bz2] for 3D workshop parts "3D-vectors in GIS GRASS (Jachym)" and "GRASS 3D data and VTK (Soeren)"

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-08-20T21:21:07Z

⚠️Stephan: lidar-ws dataset url added

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).

It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

FOSS4G2006: GRASS related workshops and presentations

2006-08-04T12:57:37Z

⚠️Stephan: /* Problems with LausanneLiveCD_rc1 */

==Introduction==

Geoinformatics 2006 is to be held in Switzerland over September 12-15th 2006 and we offer several workshops and presentations. This page will hold the plans and proposed programme for the GRASS component of Geo2006. Please compair with the [http://www.foss4g2006.org/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=1&showDate=all&showSession=all&detailLevel=contribution&viewMode=parallel official workshop time table] including all offered workshops.

===Workshops===

For each proposal we'll have to write an abstract and submit it
by 15th of april 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org). Any suggestion and contribution is welcome. Next FOSS4G2006 IRC meeting is in IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g2006), see the channel topic for dates. To submit a workshop proposal one teacher needs to feel responsible as head and add the workshop.

====Beginner's Workshop (Tuesday 9-11): (accepted)====

====Power User Workshop 2: Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS (Tuesday 14-16): (accepted)====

Using GRASS in combination with R is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:

* '''possible teachers''':
** Roger Bivand (head)
** please suggest (preferably GRASS side)

* '''abstract''' (proposed topics):

===Live-CD for GRASS-related workshops===

Currently Stephan Holl and Otto Dassau prepare to build a new 'GISIX' LiveCD based on [http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html KNOPPIX 5.0.1.] including all necessary software packages for the GRASS, R and Quantum GIS workshops.

* GRASS 6.1 CVS (will be up-to-date then)
* GDAL 1.3.1 (better 1.3.2)
* GDAL-OGR-GRASS plugin
* QGIS 0.8 Preview1
* QT4-devel/QGIS-devel files

* VTK/Paraview for the 3D workshop in Lausanne is missing
* <del>terraview is missing</del>
* <del>Permissions of .grassrc6 are wrong (need change to knoppix:knoppix) </del>
* <del>sqlitebrowser missing </del>
* <del>pgadmin3 missing</del>
* LIDAR dataset missing
* remove of OpenOffice2 -> '''all presentation need to be in PDF!!'''

===power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD for the participants===

* idea from Venkatesh: provide a power-packed FOSS4G/OSGEO CD to the participants and maybe keep a few CD-RW equipped machines so that people could burn their own CD at the Conference venue. This is particularly use to participants from countries where internet bandwidth is narrow. The FOSS4G CD might be a good (release) candidate for the FOSS4G/OSGEO CD if it could be further tested, polished and improved upon.
* FOSS4G Toolkit ISO-Image can be downloaded from http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/foss4g/

===Presentations===

* PyWPS - GRASS goes web [[User:Jachym]]

For each presentation proposal the presenter has to submit an abstract by 30 June, 2006 (http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=9&confId=1).
