[Mapbuilder-devel] PSC please vote: Mapbuilder 1.5 release procedure

[Andreas H. <and...@gm...>]

Hi,

still in a release manager mood from today's first release of GeoExt
(http://geoext.org/), which is definitely something to check out for
Mapbuilder users, I would like to make a proposal:

Today I closed some tickets for the 1.5 milestone, including an update
to OpenLayers 2.8, which brings a lot of improvements. As you now,
Mapbuilder 1.5rc2 is based on OpenLayers 2.6.

Since we have promised to release Mapbuilder 1.5, I think it is time
now to finally do that. I built Mapbuilder from current trunk today,
and put it online on
http://nightly.communitymapbuilder.org/mapbuilder/. I would like to
tag this for 1.5rc3, announce the release candidate, wait a few days
for feedback / bug reports, and then do the final release of
Mapbuilder 1.5

I am +1, how about others?

Regards,
Andreas.

Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] GeoWebCache is now built-in to GeoServer 1.7.1 and works with Openlayers tiling but MapBuilder 1.5 (rc1) tiling errors off

[John M. <mit...@gm...>]

Andreas,

Thanks for the tip!!!

Adding the resolutions to the mappaneol config file now allows me to cache
within MapBuilder 1.5.

I now can display over a million features in 1-3 seconds.

Thanks,

John

Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] GeoWebCache is now built-in to GeoServer 1.7.1 and works with Openlayers tiling but MapBuilder 1.5 (rc1) tiling errors off

[Andreas H. <aho...@op...>]

Hey John,

I can only share my experiences with TileCache here, which does the
same as GeoWebCache, and this works fine with Mapbuilder 1.5.

Two things you have to take care of:

* You have to add a <resolutions> list in the mappaneol config, and
put in there a comma separated list of the resolutions you get from
GeoWebCache's GetCapabilities.

* The extent of your map must be the same as reported by GeoWebCache's
GetCapabilities, and you have to make sure that
displayOutsideMaxExtent is set to false (or not included) in the
mappaneol config.

Regards,
Andreas.

[Mapbuilder-devel] GeoWebCache is now built-in to GeoServer 1.7.1 and works with Openlayers tiling but MapBuilder 1.5 (rc1) tiling errors off

[John M. <mit...@gm...>]

Hi,

GeoWebCache (a WMS tile-caching program) is now built-in to GeoServer 1.7.1
and works with Openlayers tiling but MapBuilder 1.5 (rc1) tiling errors off
when the WMS request is sent to GeoWebCache.

Will upgrading to MapBuilder 1.5 (rc2) or the final version MapBuilder 1.5
(when it comes out) cause MapBuilder to generate tiles like the open layers
demo within GeoServer 1.7.1?

The error is listed below:

<http://geowebcache.org/> 400: Resolution (2.5111607142858094E-4) is not
with 5.0% of the closest grid resolution (1.71661376953125E-4)
Below is the explanation of the error from the GeoWebCache website
documentation:

Your bounds in the W direction are offset by more than 5% compared to the
underlying grid.
¶<http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/openlayers#YourboundsintheWdirectionareoffsetbymorethan5comparedtotheunderlyinggrid.>

Your bounds in the y direction are offset by more than 5% compared to
the underlying grid.

This means tile size is correct (within 5%), but your request if not aligned
to the grid that GeoWebCache
<http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/GeoWebCache>uses.
OpenLayers? <http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/OpenLayers> can use the extent
of the map, layer or some other parameters to automatically calculate this.
The key thing is to provide maxExtent: new
OpenLayers.Bounds(minx,miny,maxx,maxy) such that the values align to the
grid of GWC. Basically this consists of taking the map zoomed all the way
out (1 tile in EPSG:900913, 2 tiles in EPSG:4326) and then continuously
dividing each tile into 4 equally sized tiles. The edges of these tiles
represent the grid at each zoomlevel.

Thanks,

John

[Mapbuilder-devel] Loading multiple contexts

[Robert H. <ro...@gm...>]

I am trying to load two separate contexts one being a WMC and the other
being a OWS with just a google maps base layer? Basically I have an initial
context that a heavily modified version of MapBuilder uses (WMC) and I want
to replace the Demis base map with a Google base map. Is this possible or is
there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance,

Rob

The problem is that after a quick glance at the demo server, I was

[Mapbuilder-devel] Eulogy for Mapbuilder

[Steven M. O. <ste...@ge...>]

Hello list,

Hereby the Eulogy for mapbuilder as spoken at the opening of the  
Foss4G conference in Cape Town;

Hi,

My name is Steven Ottens and I'm speaking on behalve of the  
mapbuilder steering committee.

  It is with sadness in our heart that we've announced that  
Mapbuilder is no more. It is today exactly 7 years ago that Cameron  
Shorter posted his first mail on the Mapbuilder mailinglist. He set  
apart his idea for a community mapbuilder which would provide a way  
to collaboratively build maps. Years later this idea would be  
proposed again in a different setting resulting in OpenStreetMap. It  
took a while for Camerons idea to turn into mapbuilder code. The  
intial idea was to create an applet and energy was put into the  
GeoTools project to support OGC standards. However applets became a  
thing of the past and Raj Singh created a prototype in a new  
technique that years later would become known as AJAX.

It was already 2003 and during the christmas holidays the first  
implementation of Mapbuilder was created. Still it would be a few  
more months before the first release. Once the first release was out,  
more people got attracted to the project. The already strong support  
for open standards was increased by various people. Mike Adair wrote  
the support for WMS-timeseries. Pat Cappelaere wrote the first ever  
SVG based vector renderer for webgis. Olivier Terral created an SLD  
editor upon Pats work. Also Mike Adair and Richard Greenwood started  
the javascript projection library.

Already we are moving into 2006. This year will go down in history as  
the beginning of the end of mapbuilder. A lot happened in 2006, it  
began early that year with the founding of OSGeo, which Mapbuilder  
joined as one of its founding projects. The power of OSGeo became  
clear during the summer of 2006. People from different projects got  
together to discuss project-transcending isues in foss4g land. The  
foss4g conference that year saw the birth of the tiling standard and  
the decission to use OpenLayers as /the/ render engine for webmapping  
clients. Andreas Hocevar took lead in stitching OpenLayers and  
mapbuilder together.

With incredible support of the openlayers developercommunity there  
was a first release in less than six months. Mapbuilder had many  
features OpenLayers was lacking in those days. The mapbuilder  
developers contributed lots of code to the openlayers project to make  
sure that all that functionality would still work once openlayers  
became the backend.

To fully merge all Mapbuilders functionality with OpenLayers took  
another year. Once that work was done it became clear that OpenLayers  
was attracting many Mapbuilder developers and users. We found it  
increasingly difficult to tell the difference between OpenLayers and  
Mapbuilder. The powerful XML based MVC design was at the same time  
its weakness. Over the years AJAX development had became mainstream  
and the developer tools favored pure javascript implementations like  
the one from OpenLayers. In that fateful conference in Lausanne we  
already spoke out our hope that one day we would merge into one open  
source webgis client. When we saw OpenLayers flourish under the OSGeo  
flag we decided that our time had come.

We set out to create a client where you could access maps and add  
your own data to share with others. If you go to the openstreetmap  
site you will see openlayers as the client to access the maps and add  
your own data. In a sense we have reached our goal. In the meantime  
mapbuilder has touched many more people who are still active  
contributers to foss4g. It set a standard in standard complience and  
many of its ideas live on in different projects. So while we are sad  
to announce that we stop our active development of Mapbuilder, we see  
a bright future for the foss4g community. We hope that our example  
will help others to join their efforts where possible, creating a  
powerfull foss4g software stack.

Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] SOS Services

[Cameron S. <cam...@gm...>]

Hi Jan,
Before you start, you might want to know that us Mapbuilder developers 
have announced an End-Of-Life announcement for Mapbuilder:
http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/MAP/EndOfLife
And we recommend that most people would be wiser to consider Openlayers 
instead.

However, if you are still keen to continue with Mapbuilder, I'd suggest 
looking at the WFS widgets which provide similar functionality to what I 
suspect you are looking for.

[Mapbuilder-devel] SOS Services

[Jan G. <j.g...@gm...>]

I'm planning to implement some adittions to mapbuilder, such as fundamental SOS functions like GetObservation, GetFeaturOfInterest... to build up a webbased viewer like these

http://www.hnd.bayern.de/.

There should be a ground layer and in adittion some geometric Features (GetFeatureOfInterest) witch offering timerelevant information (GetObservation) if needed.

Now my question: are there any solutions, diskussions or implementations to these SOS functions.

Thank you in advance for your attention.

Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] Firebug issues solved with Firebug 1.2.0 and Firefox 3.1 - Time for 1.5 final?

[Cameron S. <cam...@gm...>]

Andreas, I hope Matt can fill us in here as I haven't done much here.

Digging around, the mapbuilder files seem to be in:
/osgeo/mapbuilder/apisite/

But I don't know much more than that.
If you do work things out, this might be our last chance to document the 
demo release process at:

[Mapbuilder-devel] Firebug issues solved with Firebug 1.2.0 and Firefox 3.1 - Time for 1.5 final?

[Andreas H. <and...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just tested the new Firebug 1.2.0 release with the latest Firefox
3.1a2pre trunk build, and everything works fine!

I think it is time now to start the 1.5 release cycle. We need test
reports of all our examples in FF3 and IE7. Testers are welcome!

Cameron or Matt: can you please give me a short intro on the osgeo
server where our demos are hosted? I could not figure out where
everything is.

It would be awesome if we could release before FOSS4G.

Regards,
Andreas.

[Mapbuilder-devel] use of Mapbuilder in GeoDRM application

[Netra P. <nkp...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am implementing a Geospatial Digital Rights Management application based
on a service oriented architecture. (OGC Document - GeoDRM Engineering
Viewpoint)


On the client side I would like to use Mapbuilder but need some help fitting
that into the overall architecture. The WMS server used is GeoServer and a
suite of services proxy the requests coming from the user (web browser) and
authenticate and authorize the user before sending the request to GeoServer.
All these services including the GeoServer are deployed on the same Tomcat
server. In this architecture, there is no direct commmunication between the
client(Mapbuilder) and GeoServer but has to go through the Authentication,
License Manager and Auhtorization services, each one redirecting the request
to a different page, either a login page or a 'Terms of Use' page before
sending the map image back to the browser.

 This makes it difficult to use Mapbuilder on the client side because of its
use of the Web mapping context to make WMS requests. Although I would like
to use other features of Mapbuilder such as the zoom and pan controls and
the layer control as well.

 Is there any way to customize mapbuilder to meet the needs of my
application and how complicated the customization would be? Basically I am
looking to use the MapPaneOL widget and the button toolbar at the minimum.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.


Thanks and regards,

Netra Patankar

[Mapbuilder-devel] Recommend Markus Innerebner be given commit rights to Mapbuilder.

[Cameron S. <cam...@gm...>]

Mapbuilder developers,
In the last IRC meeting with all PSC committee members (we were 
discussing how to retire mapbuilder), we all voted to add Markus 
Innerebner as a committer to mapbuilder, based on a review of 
contributions made by Markus.

Markus has made such a patch, and Steven has reviewed it and committed 
it to svn.
So I now welcome Markus Innerebner to the Mapbuilder community.

Markus,
Can you please email this list stating you accept the Mapbuilder 
software developer responsibilities outlined at: 
http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/MAP/Contributers+Guide

Then set up an account in accordance with:
Set up a subversion account in accordance with 
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/SVN+Repository

[Mapbuilder-devel] FOSS4G2008 Code Sprint, Lightning Talks & Demo Sessions

[Cameron S. <cam...@gm...>]

mapbuilder users,
If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend these FOSS4G sessions (as described by Tim Sutton).

FOSS4G is an amazing networking opportunity. There are few opportunities where you get to rub shoulders, discuss, ask questions, etc with the best Open Source Software developers face to face.

And it is an impressive opportunity to show off your work.

---

Free and Open Source Geospatial Conference 2008 (FOSS4G2008)

FOSS4G2008 will be taking place this year in September / October this
year in South Africa. FOSS4G is a an annual gathering place for Free
and Open Source  projects with a geospatial leaning. The conference
venue is the Cape Town International Conference Center (CTICC) in the
Foreshore area of Cape Town - the beautiful 'mother city' of South
Africa.

Demo Sessions:
=======================

We will be holding a demo theatre during tea breaks and lunch times.
Demos are a great way to show off your work to decision makers, GIS
professionals and fellow code crunchers. The demos will be restricted
to 10 minutes each (including questions and setup time) so they need
to be brief and to the point. If you would like to demo your project,
something you have achieved with FOSS geospatial, or anything else
relevant to a geospatial practitioner audience, you can register by
following the instructions provided on the demo wiki page here:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_Demos


Lightning Talks:
=======================

During the plenary session on Monday 29 July, there will be eight
lightning talks of 5 minutes each. Time limits will be strictly
adhered to and we are looking for the most entertaining, thought
provoking and informative speeches possible. The speeches will be
presented to the entire conference. If you are interested in making a
lightning speech, or know of any good candidates to give such a
speech, please visit the lightning talks wiki page to register your
interest here:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_LightningTalks


Code Sprint:
=======================

We will be holding an all day code sprint on Saturday 4 October - the
day following the end of the main conference activities. Given that
most FOSS projects are conducted as virtual collaborations over the
internet, the code sprint is a rare opportunity for you to get
together in person with other developers in your project.

The code sprint is also a great opportunity for those who are
interested in getting involved in a project to go and meet the
developers face to face and get some help in getting started with
development. If you are not a developer, but interested in other
aspects of project development, (documentation, creating demonstrator
implementations of software etc.) the code sprint is an equally good
opportunity to collaborate.

We will provide a venue, lunch and refreshments, internet connection
and flip charts. If you have other special requirements let us know
and we will see what we can do.

In order to provide the very best experience for you it would be
helpful to get an idea of how many people are likely to attend. We
have created a Wiki page at:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint

On this page you can create a section for your project and list the
people planning to attend. The page also provides a space to help you
organise your code sprint day by writing up the goals and preparation
work needed for your sprint.


Contact Info:
=======================


The code sprint, lightning talks & demo session organiser is Tim
Sutton (ti...@li...) - if you have any questions or special
requirements, please don't hesitate to ask. If you haven't already
registered for the conference, we advise doing so as soon as possible
to secure your place. Visit the conference registration page at:

http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008/schedConf/registration
