Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Micah Wengren and Matt Austin of NOAA/NOS/OCS This presentation will highlight the open sourcebased prototype hosting environment NOAA is using to provide customers standardsbased OGC web service access to its critical geospatial data products. The hosting system was set up as part of the NOAA High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Incubator research program in 2012. It is based on GeoServer and PostGIS/PostgreSQL. NOAA funded OpenGeo to develop several new capabilities in GeoServer 2.2 that included: a refactored security subsystem with pluggable authentication options such as LDAP; workspacelevel partitioning of styles and layers; the concept of groups and groupbased access restrictions to workspaces; and workspacespecific settings for multitenancy of different organizations within a single GeoServer instance. These enhancements make GeoServer very well suited as an enterprisewide deployment providing a centralized, shared hosting environment for an organization's geospatial data. Additionally, with GeoServer 2.2's support for OGCstandard time and elevation dimensions in WMS 1.3.0, it is an ideal platform to support NOAA's frequentlychanging and multidimensional scientific data sets. NOAA is currently investigating the use of these and other open source geospatial software to improve delivery of its critical weather, oceanographic, and other environmental information to the public. Included in the discussion are parallel efforts as part of the US Federal GeoCloud project to deploy a GeoNode 2.0based frontend to the GeoServer hosting system. The GeoCloud project evaluates the use of Amazon Web Services for deploying geospatial applications and software. Local Government Opening Of Detroit: Building a Free and Open Detroit using Free and OpenSource Geospatial Tools Matthew Baker, Opening Of Detroit and Jeff DeBruyn, Manna Meal House Peacekeeper, Resident Staff at Dayhouse Shelter for Women and Children Opening of Detroit uses a combination map and blog to put on the map the changing face of Detroit that is hidden in the depths of paperwork hidden from the public eye. By mapping the location and extent of projects planned for the City of Detroit, the public can are now able to see the size and scale of the plans for their City. Matthew Baker will explain how the site was built and the knowledge and input from the community was captured and broadcast. Using an Ubuntubased laptop running QGIS, Tilemill, and MapBox along with a few other development tools, community organizers now have a free
and open way of making their communities free and open. Opening Of Detroit was founded in 2012 by Detroit Community Organizer Jeff DeBruyn and Denverbased GIS Analyst and OpenSource Software user Matthew Baker. Open Source GIS at Pierce County, Washington Jared Erickson and Michael Payne of Pierce County IT/GIS Pierce County Washington is increasingly using Open Source GIS in combination with commercial software. Through a series of case studies this presentation will highlight how and why open source GIS was adopted and the specific problems it solved. Learn now Pierce County WA is using OpenLayers, GeoServer, PostGIS, GeoTools, and the Java Topology Suite to create compelling mobile and web applications for county departments as well as providing enterprisewide solutions. We Know Where You Were Last Summer: Automated Vehicle Locating Cory Karsten and Bob Basques, City of St. Paul Using GeoMOOSE and OpenLayers web clients, MapServer and the PostgreSQL database at the City of Saint Paul, we’ve built a live view of our Automated Vehicle Locating (AVL) system as well as custom geographic reporting tools. This talk will cover why we chose to build our own web viewer instead of using a commercial package, reasons to use the existing Open Source web viewers in production at the City instead of choosing a different Open Source product, challenges in translating the data feed from the commercial AVL vendor and integrating the pieces for a smooth end user experience. There will also be discussion on standards for the database tables and records in order to make the system plug and play for others interested in customizing a live AVL web viewer on their own. Moving up to an Enterprise Open Source Geospatial Platform Nancy Read, Metro. Mosquito Control District and Brian Fischer, Houston Engineering Inc. The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) is a regional government agency in the 7 County metro area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN, that manages work done in 70,000 wetlands. A few years ago MMCD embarked on a strategic plan to move from dispersed information management silos into a centralized enterprise system built from open source software and accessible from any device with a web browser. This presentation will discuss the business case for moving to an open source platform, the economic aspects of the choice and the overall return on investment, including the benefits of mobile access. Come see how the Mosquito Control District is using open source software such as PostGIS, MapServer and GeoMoose, as well as jQuery Mobile. This enterprise system is being used to manage and integrate surveillance, inspections, treatments, citizen requests, work orders, helicopter tracking activities and more. It also has enabled MMCD to make a wealth of data available directly to citizens through web map access.
