| 06:03:01 | epifanio: | hi all |
| 06:03:59 | epifanio: | i'm preparing a gis-live cd installable based on ubuntu 9.04 , i know in osgeo there is already a similar project in act |
| 06:04:13 | epifanio: | have you a link to a doc or wiki page about it ? |

| 06:06:14 | epifanio: | cool alreadi iwase here : http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_BOF_Sessions thanks for the update notice :- ) |
| 06:06:15 | sigq: | Title: FOSS4G2008 BOF Sessions - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org ) |
| 06:06:47 | jsanz: | and you should take a look at osgeo live demo mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo |
| 06:06:48 | sigq: | Title: Live-demo Info Page ( at lists.osgeo.org ) |
| 06:27:56 | epifanio: | jsanz: thanks that's what i need, actually i'm using remastersys as instrument to make a customized.iso i'll submit to the list a link to the .iso ( i already done it ) |
| 06:28:33 | epifanio: | reading the wiki .. and subscribe to the list to be up-to date on these topic |
| 06:29:08 | jsanz: | epifanio, cool. I think it would be great if you document a little bit ( or link other place ) your work on that page |
| 06:30:09 | epifanio: | yes of course, i'm preparing it for the gfoss.it ( italian chapter ) right now i'm writng a list of the included packages and sw |
| 06:30:39 | jsanz: | great, that's exactly what i was thinking on : ) |
| 06:30:44 | epifanio: | however i used svn for the mayot project like gdal, grass ossim and qgis |
| 06:31:47 | epifanio: | i avoid repository .. some times are not up to date .. using svn and "installable live" ... we just run svn up in the source to have it up to date |
| 06:31:57 | epifanio: | i'll include the configure files too |

| 11:34:15 | tschaub: | FrankW: ( or other ) could you suggest the appropriate venue ( mailing list I assume ) for making a request that OSGeo establish a process for new, pre-incubation projects to assign copyright? |
| 11:35:08 | TylerM: | hi tschaub - the incubator list would be good, but if you want more general discussion/support for the idea you might want to bring it up on the discuss list instead.. depends |
| 11:35:34 | tschaub: | thanks TylerM |
| 11:35:47 | tschaub: | there has been some discussion ( I think on discuss ) |
| 11:35:47 | TylerM: | any one.. hope you're well |
| 11:36:09 | tschaub: | concluding in different suggestions |
| 12:20:05 | yjacolin: | hi TylerM |
| 12:21:49 | TylerM: | catch you on IM |

| 20:26:29 | darkblue_B: | TylerM: ping |
| 20:26:50 | TylerM: | hi darkblue_B - wuzzup? |
| 20:27:27 | darkblue_B: | hiya |
| 20:27:27 | : | * TylerM wonders if any dxers are lurking here... |
| 20:27:31 | TylerM: | hi! |
| 20:27:36 | darkblue_B: | dxers? |
| 20:28:07 | darkblue_B: | well, back from the CalGIS pre-conference meetup |
| 20:28:17 | TylerM: | ahh how'd it go? |
| 20:28:25 | darkblue_B: | http://www.cgia.org |
| 20:28:38 | darkblue_B: | meeting, then the Cl GIS Council.. which is Formal |
| 20:28:45 | darkblue_B: | Cal GIS Council |
| 20:28:50 | sigq: | Title: Welcome to CGIA - the California Geographic Information Association ( at www.cgia.org ) |
| 20:28:50 | darkblue_B: | we hve a new State GIO |
| 20:29:16 | darkblue_B: | so, CGIA is mostly local govt Geo officers I think |
| 20:29:22 | darkblue_B: | and they are definitely limping along |
| 20:29:37 | darkblue_B: | now that the budget famine is starting to his |
| 20:29:39 | darkblue_B: | hit |
| 20:29:55 | darkblue_B: | butI got out a great statement on OSS, at the appropriate time |
| 20:30:08 | darkblue_B: | with the ESRI guy staring me down while I did it :D |
| 20:30:42 | darkblue_B: | I dont want to over dramatize, but I really think he was.. there were two in the room |
| 20:31:23 | TylerM: | maybe air was too thick? ; ) |
| 20:31:28 | darkblue_B: | the secratary of the meeting came over to me after and asked if I could send her something for the notes |
| 20:31:32 | darkblue_B: | naw, I handled it |
| 20:31:39 | darkblue_B: | I wrote my statement on the train on the way there |
| 20:32:06 | darkblue_B: | it emphasizes interop, and specifically said larger, work together, not replace |
| 20:32:14 | TylerM: | niice |
| 20:32:35 | darkblue_B: | so it was just me.. but now that they asked for a follow up, I thought to runit by you and whomever |
| 20:33:11 | TylerM: | would love to see it |
| 20:33:20 | darkblue_B: | ok, I'll send you an email |
| 20:33:34 | darkblue_B: | btw, the GIO of California likes us I think ;- ) |
| 20:33:53 | TylerM: | heh |
| 20:34:20 | darkblue_B: | his small army has failed to materialize though, they only authorized him ! no minions, eg no staff |
| 20:34:51 | darkblue_B: | he was the former chair of the Cal GIS Council, apparently, as he knew every one of about 30 people in the room by first name already |
| 20:35:11 | darkblue_B: | 2 dozen state and fed agency representatives |
| 20:35:16 | darkblue_B: | almost like real govt |
| 20:36:43 | darkblue_B: | also Bruce Joffe gave an update on the famous court case |
| 20:36:57 | darkblue_B: | on California Public Records access to all county parcel data |
| 20:37:05 | TylerM: | interesting |
| 20:37:12 | TylerM: | have to run.. back in a bit |
| 20:37:22 | darkblue_B: | np |
| 20:37:25 | TylerM: | oh by dxers.. I meant ham radio guys : ) |
| 20:37:31 | TylerM: | I have a receiver |
| 20:37:59 | TylerM: | just heard from a few guys in cali a minute ago |
| 20:38:05 | TylerM: | biab |
| 20:38:05 | darkblue_B: | aha |
| 20:40:11 | darkblue_B: | bottom line on the court case is - all records are public access, Homeland Secrity PCII status is not an argument, copyright is not an argument.. and they lost the appeal by a 3 judge unanimous opinion.. deadline to petition the CA Supreme Court is Wednesday.. its been 29 months |
| 20:41:33 | darkblue_B: | all records produced by a public contract must be accessible via a Public Records request.. however copyright still applies.. so if its copyright Digital Globe then its still copyright Digital Globe for example... |
| 20:42:14 | darkblue_B: | in some cases you may have the right to request documents, but you may not be able to use them for commerce.. personal inspection.. but basically, its Sunshine Prevails |
| 20:43:27 | darkblue_B: | Another big topic is Digital Coast program.. ( not the exact name ) |
| 20:44:06 | darkblue_B: | NOAA and Army Corp of Engineers.. but the Army has the mission to do the LIDAR of the COAST.. notice not watersheds |
| 20:44:38 | darkblue_B: | other agencies seeking interop.. huge tangle just trying to get agencies to coordinate |
| 20:44:49 | darkblue_B: | on a date to do flyovers, for example |
| 20:45:13 | darkblue_B: | but take home is, the coasts are being mapped very carefully by at least three agencies... |
| 20:47:42 | darkblue_B: | oh yeah.. Bruce Joffe wants to be in touch.. http://www.opendataconsortium.org |
| 20:47:58 | darkblue_B: | he's a neighbor here in the Cal Bay Area |
| 20:48:29 | darkblue_B: | His work on a data policy has a good chance of being the candidate adopted by the Cal GIO |
| 20:48:57 | sigq: | Title: Com.org - Only the best links ... ( at www.opendataconsortium.org ) |
| 20:53:04 | darkblue_B: | Oh yeah.. I asked about Earth Observation and GEOSS interop, and it was a pretty flat no :-/ |
| 20:54:07 | darkblue_B: | Please note there is no classified data here :- ) |
| 21:05:08 | wildint: | fyi, darkblue_B the new state GIO is friends with my advisor at Davis and open to ideas on appropriate tech, may have even been one of his students |
| 21:06:10 | wildint: | darkblue_B, are you in sac or heading back tomorrow, I could pass you some osgeo materials to take along |
| 21:06:53 | darkblue_B: | wildint: nope.. I opted for the path of least resistance |
| 21:07:03 | darkblue_B: | there and back again.. I'm done :- ) |
| 21:07:11 | wildint: | ah ok |
| 21:07:45 | darkblue_B: | the new GIO apparently knows just about everyone ! |
| 21:08:00 | wildint: | yes he's worked for most of the agencies |
| 21:08:11 | wildint: | comes in does some cool project moves to the next agency |
| 21:08:25 | darkblue_B: | some people have all the moves |
| 21:08:53 | wildint: | I say him give a talk on tele-health and how it was a way to strong arm the bells/cable people into getting high speed service to everyone |
| 21:09:09 | darkblue_B: | it was good.. overall I think it went quite well for OSGeo |
| 21:09:13 | wildint: | and getting a coverage map so the state would know |
| 21:09:34 | darkblue_B: | dang |
| 21:11:20 | wildint: | we can strategize more later, and if we ever have a good reason for a meeting I'm pretty sure it can be arranged |
| 23:41:32 | mindspit: | good morning |
