Brief FOSS4G Introduction
0 likes120 views
The document discusses the evolution of open source geospatial software and its significance in sharing spatial information, highlighting the establishment of key organizations like the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). It details the benefits of open-source geospatial tools, such as accessibility, affordability, and community support, as well as ongoing initiatives and community events aimed at promoting collaboration and learning in the field. The author encourages community involvement and sharing of knowledge to drive innovation in geospatial technology.
Brief FOSS4G Introduction
- 1. The Open Community Jeff McKenna 2018-06-14
- 2. 2018-06-14 Focus on helping organizations share spatial information through Open Software and Open Standards, since 1998
- 3. 2018-06-14 But what is “Open Source”?
- 4. 2018-06-14 Strong Link Between Open Standards, Open Data and Open Source Software ● The Open GRASS Foundation (OGF) started in 1992 ● OGF restructured to become the “Open GIS Consortium” in 1994 ● Renamed in 2004 to Open Geospatial Consortium
- 5. 2018-06-14 Open Source + Geospatial
- 6. 2018-06-14 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS) Geographical Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) PROJ4 library PostgreSQL (spin-off of Ingres RDBMS) Open GRASS Foundation (OGF) founded OGF re-structured as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) UMN MapServer International team takes over GRASS development PostgreSQL goes open source Geotools java toolkit OGC simple features specification GDAL/OGR GRASS license changed to GNU GPL OGC Coordinate Transformation Services (CTS) specification OGC Web Map Server (WMS) specification PostGIS Quantum GIS GEOS library OGC Web Feature Server (WFS) specification OGC Geography Markup Language (GML) specification OGC Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) specification Geoserver 1.0 GvSIG ISO approved WMS Specification Mapguide Open Source Open Source Geospatial Foundation founded OpenLayers Tiling protocol for tiling web-based maps Mapfish framework for OpenLayers Open Source GIS Timeline based on http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Source_GIS_History
- 7. 2018-06-14 Why Open Source Geospatial? ● Easily accessible ● Affordable ● Stable ● Strong communities ● Innovative ● Standards support are not add-ons or afterthought ● Backed by OSGeo Foundation
