08:28:38 chippy: would you define this type of map as a "flow map" and are there any FOSSGIS that can do similar? https://viet-nam.wikispaces.com/file/view/migration_paths.png ( i.e. internal migration )
08:29:35 TylerM: hi chippy - theo nly thing I've seen that comes close to this is the GMT project
08:30:08 TylerM: I've tried to create similar works but didn't try long enough to have success : )
08:30:21 TylerM: e.g. http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/
08:30:22 sigq: Title: The GMT Home Page ( at gmt.soest.hawaii.edu )
08:30:54 chippy: Yes, I'm thinking that they would require considerable tweaking by hand
08:31:19 TylerM: I got 75% of the way there to creating my own custom version of http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/examples/ex23/example_23_100dpi.png - but in the end, yes, had to fiddle more than I could manage : )
08:31:53 chippy: hehe cool. Cheers : )
08:35:16 darkblue_B: Hi TylerM
08:35:38 darkblue_B: I have a bunch of stuff on the TODO here.. so I really dont have much time.. BUT
08:35:51 darkblue_B: I couldnt help but remember the demo at the USGS
08:36:10 darkblue_B: it seems like a great opportunity
08:38:52 springmeyer: chippy: ya, I've long been interesting in some sort of automated solution to a flow map like that too
08:39:32 springmeyer: seems like a graphviz <--> qgis plugin would be what you would need
08:39:39 darkblue_B: So I will email the contact person in SF about the USGS demo
08:39:50 darkblue_B: hi springmeyer :- )
08:39:53 springmeyer: yo
08:40:01 TylerM: thx darkblue_B
08:41:29 darkblue_B: Serious offers of outstanding demo work at the USGS Western Regional HQ mid-May graciously accepted :- )
08:41:40 darkblue_B: one day

13:31:26 tomkralidis: TylerM: ping
13:31:51 TylerM: hi tom!
13:32:26 tomkralidis: hi! For page http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content would the MapServer OGC workshop be valuable to add? Was going to do so, but wanted to check
13:32:29 sigq: Title: OSGeo Educational Content Inventory | OSGeo.org ( at www.osgeo.org )
13:32:34 tomkralidis: in terms of suitability
13:32:44 TylerM: ah yes i do think so
13:32:55 TylerM: it has a guidebook training pdf too right?
13:33:09 tomkralidis: it has a .ppt, no pdf
13:33:24 TylerM: but enough to follow along with the code samples, etc?
13:33:25 tomkralidis: actually, I think we have it as OpenOffice
13:33:31 tomkralidis: oh yes, documented
13:33:37 TylerM: definitely please add!
13:33:43 TylerM: I've referred to it in the past many times : )
13:38:13 tomkralidis: done! Thanks again
