State of GeoServer Justin Deoliveira, OpenGeo GeoServer continues to grow with an active community and expanding user base. This presentation takes the pulse of the project with a status report of how GeoServer is doing and what to expect in the coming future. The presentation will start with a “year in review” overviewing some of the new and noteworthy of the past year. This past year saw the coming of GeoServer 2.2, a major milestone for the project that brought some exciting new features along with it. Time and Elevation support, WFS 2.0, Rendering Transformations, a Security/Authentication overhaul, and Virtual Service settings, styles, and layer groups are just a few of the highlights of 2.2. Attend this presentation to get the entire report of what happened this past year. The GeoServer developer community continues to remain active with a number of exciting features in the pipeline. The remainder of the presentation will focus on the future with a report of the new developments currently being worked on and what new features and improvements users can expect in 2013. Whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply someone who wants to know what GeoServer is and what it can do for you, this talk is for you. MapServer Project Status Report Meet the developers! Steve Lime, Minnesota DNR and Daniel Morissette, Mapgears This session starts with a status report of the MapServer project, followed by an open question/answer session to provide a opportunity for users to interact with members of the MapServer project team. We will go over the main features and enhancements introduced in MapServer 6.2 released in November of 2012, including the addition of the new TinyOWS and MapCache components, the current and future direction of the project, and finally discuss contribution opportunities for interested developers and users. Don’t miss this chance to meet and chat facetoface with the members of the MapServer project team!
An Overview Of OpenGeoportal Steve McDonald, Tufts University OpenGeoportal (OGP) is a new group of geospatial professionals, developers, and librarians working together on a collaboratively developed, open source, federated web application to discover, preview, and retrieve geospatial data. It is a collaborative effort to share resources and best practices in the areas of application development, metadata, data sharing, data licensing, and data sources. This talk will provide an introduction to OpenGeoPortal’s technology and its multiinstitutional community. Along with a demo, the talk will review the technologies behind OGP. Its spatial search builds on Solr/Lucene and includes multiple independent spatial components to generate and rank search results most appropriate to the current map view. Visualization is provided through an OpenLayers interface, as will as existing online mapping tools. OGP provides numerous strategies for harvesting metadata using several existing protocols as well as crawling the web for spatial resources. The OGP Metadata Toolkit is under development and will support importing metadata from a variety of spatial repositories as well as authoring metadata using authority references and approved vocabularies. MapServer The history of a Community Daniel Morissette, MapGears and Steve Lime, Minnesota DNR FOSS4GNA welcomes you to Minnesota, the homeland of MapServer! This year also marks the 10 year anniversary of the first MapServer Users Meeting which was held right here in Minnesota in 2003. This was the first ever opportunity for several members of the MapServer Community to meet face to face. MUM 2003 was such a success that it became a yearly gathering and one of the predecessors of the FOSS4G Conference Series. Let's take a few minutes to dust off some old websites, emails and pictures and have a fun and relaxing look at how MapServer and its Community have evolved over the years, and contributed to make FOSS4G and OSGeo what they are today. All participants will leave with a smile on their face and a free license of the software. PostGIS Feature Frenzy Paul Ramsey, OpenGeo PostGIS has over 300 functions, which in turn can be used with the many features of the underlying PostgreSQL database. This talk covers some basic and notsobasic ways to use PostGIS/PostgreSQL to process spatial data, to build infrastructures, and to do crazy things with data. Consider the possibilities: raster, topology, linear referencing, history tracking, web services, overlays, unions, joins, constraints, replication, json, xml, and more!
