Gli ultimi sviluppi di GRASS Settimo Meeting degli utenti italiani di GRASS Genova, 23-24 Feb 2006 M.

1 Gli ultimi sviluppi di GRASS Settimo Meeting degli utenti italiani di GRASS Genova, Feb 2006 M. Neteler and GRASS Development Team neteler at itc it ITC-irst, Povo (Trento), Italy

2 Outline What happened in the GRASS projects in the last months? NEW: Open Source Geospatial Foundation

3 What's GRASS GIS? Raster and 2D/3D topological vector GIS Voxel support (raster 3D volumes) Vector network analysis support Visualization system Image processing system DBMS integrated (SQL) with dbf, PostgreSQL, MySQL and sqlite drivers In GRASS 6.1 translations of the user interface to 16 languages ongoing Portable code: runs on all major operating systems Interoperability: supports all relevant raster and vector formats

What's new? What happened in the GRASS projects in the last months? GRASS 6.0.2 stable released 22 February 2006 GRASS 6.

4 What's new? What happened in the GRASS projects in the last months? GRASS stable released 22 February 2006 GRASS 6.1 experimental source code quality/libraries: Thousands of improvements and extensions New commands Improved documentation Translation of messages

5 Translation efforts Also non-programmers can translate messages: you are welcome to contribute

11 GRASS integration with JAVA Choice of user interfaces: JAVAGRASS Developed by UniTN/DICA in collaboration with ICENS, Jamaica Portable across common platforms GIS compatible with GRASS Licence GPL

12 GRASS: Modernized GIS manager and WMS support gis.m: Michael Barton r.in.wms: Sören Gebbert & Jachym Cepicky

13 GRASS integration with QGIS

14 GRASS native MS-Windows port WinGRASS integrated with QGIS 0.8pre Lead developer: Radim Blazek Native port (Cygwin no longer required) Currently ported for MingW compiler QGIS is graphical interface Standard QGIS 0.8-SVN GRASS toolbox GRASS shell command line Interfaces: GDAL, OGR, PostGIS, WMS Get complete test version from:

15 GRASS native MS-Windows port with QGIS integration XML based GRASS toolbox, can be personalized

16 GRASS Quality Assessment Improvement of source code base Ongoing project IRST and Ecole Polytechnique de Montrèal, Canada Clone detection algorithm (find replicated code) ANSI conformance of C (update to current coding standards) Web based surveillance system in real time (check changes in the source code CVS immediately) Implementation of rather strict submission rules for C code and scripts, documented online

17 Mapserver Foundation 2005 Nov 2005

18 New OSGeo Foundation: Proposed founding projects GRASS GIS Founded 4th February 2006, Chicago

19 OSGeo Foundation OSGeo MISSION:... establish and support a diverse open source community to foster the development, advancement and promotion of open geospatial software technology and data... Basically three core issues: Free and open source software Public geodata Education and training

20 OSGeo Foundation Structure Board of Directors (5 now 9 finally) 3 Officers Arnulf Christl Chris Holmes Gary Lang Markus Neteler Frank Warmerdam - Mapbender GeoServer/GeoTools MapGuide Autodesk GRASS GDAL/OGR 45 voting members Initial Foundation projects, all with Project Steering Committees GRASS GIS

21 OSGeo Foundation Fact sheet 1 First year's funding: > USD (donated by Autodesk US, only 1st year) Legal form? It is planned to be a 501(c)3 charitable corporation incorporated in Delaware, USA (tax-exempt). Who owns/controls the foundation? The foundation is controlled by it's voting members who select a board of directors to control day to day operations. Is the foundation controlled by Autodesk? No.

22 OSGeo Foundation Fact sheet 2 Requirements for a project to join? a new project enters in incubation (similar to the Apache Foundation projects) where the following is checked: the code is under an OSI approved license code clear of encumberances (no patents, copyright issues) healthy community project is "geospatial" in a wider sense: it can be software, public data, educational material,... Each project has to form a Project Steering Committee (PSC) to interact with the foundation: formalization process GRASS-PSC is going to be formed soon please nominate more candidates

23 Today & Future International: Continue with GRASS development, embed into OSGeo foundation to harmonize the GFOSS world for users and clients National: Think about forming a tax-exempt charity (ONLUS) to better serve the Italian GFOSS community You: Join us use GFOSS today!
