| 05:23:49 | simeon: | anyone know what datum uses a polar radius of 6356752.5? |
| 07:53:26 | TylerM: | yjacolin: I just posted an email to journal list re: latex usage.. I'd appreciate knowing if you agree with my comment that latex makes translations easier : ) |
| 07:56:47 | yjacolin: | hello Tyle, easier between latex and which other way? |
| 07:56:56 | TylerM: | scribus : ) |
| 07:57:22 | yjacolin: | yes definitively : ) |
| 07:57:56 | yjacolin: | except if you find a way to split the contents into several files, each chapters in one file |
| 07:58:13 | yjacolin: | I suppose it is possible, but not a scribus guru ; ) |
| 07:58:31 | yjacolin: | Latex tag afraid sone people |
| 07:58:32 | TylerM: | Landon was wondering if latex is a barrier to participation/production.. then we could move to another platform. But I can't think of one that is as efficient. |
| 07:58:45 | yjacolin: | I agree with you |
| 07:59:10 | TylerM: | Last time I checked on scribus you still couldn't not 'link' in external files. You could import them, but not dynamically if the files change. |
| 07:59:11 | yjacolin: | this is a barrier but we need to find something as good as latex tag |
| 07:59:28 | TylerM: | okay, thanks, good to know |
| 07:59:45 | TylerM: | ping epifanio - do you think you'll have any time to help with latex ideas? |
| 08:00:13 | TylerM: | yjacolin: I discovered a new latex package "wallpaper" - are you familiar with it? |
| 08:00:38 | yjacolin: | I don't know it |
| 08:00:45 | yjacolin: | I just received your email : ) |
| 08:00:45 | TylerM: | see "\ThisCenterWallPaper" in http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_5/en-us/OSGeoJournal_vol5.tex |
| 08:00:59 | TylerM: | just put in a graphic and it takes full page.. beautiful in current PDF : ) |
| 08:01:08 | yjacolin: | I wil check later, need to go ; ) |
| 08:01:20 | yjacolin: | ok fine, give one hour : ) |
| 08:01:33 | yjacolin: | see you, have to go : ) |
| 08:01:43 | TylerM: | okay bye! |
| 08:01:45 | yjacolin: | bye |
| 08:19:59 | epifanio: | hi tyler |
| 08:20:02 | epifanio: | hi TylerM |
| 08:21:01 | TylerM: | hi epifanio |
| 08:21:17 | epifanio: | yes i can try it, i already tried to extract data from the illustrator files, but i'm not familiar with it |
| 08:21:49 | epifanio: | starting from the source files i can work to create a latex project |
| 08:25:41 | epifanio: | TylerM: can you point me to where the source files are stored ? |
| 08:30:53 | epifanio: | i have the illustrator source ( in it i can see : jpeg files : Cover Background Final ( Letter ) Back Background Final ( Letter ) ) ... uluky opening it on a mac i lost fonts and i'm not able to see the second page, maybe it's a my problem beacouse i don't know how to use it |
| 08:31:55 | epifanio: | thise for the brochure, while other material i have are all in pdf, except for the logos file, all in svg |
| 08:35:42 | TylerM: | okay, i will have to check again later and see what I can get |
| 08:36:13 | TylerM: | I do have the fonts ( .ttf ) needed for the brochures, but unfortunately they are not 'open' :P |
| 08:37:31 | TylerM: | yjacolin and I were discussing the Journal though : ) |
| 08:37:56 | TylerM: | epifanio: If you are interested we could use your help with some latex ideas I have for improving the journal look and feel. |
| 08:38:38 | epifanio: | ok ;- ) |
| 08:38:54 | TylerM: | oh, i meant to ask how things went at gfoss meeting! |
| 08:40:59 | TylerM: | we have source files for producing this layout: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/tools/fsm_starter_kit/issue_00/tex_stuff/FSM_issue_00.pdf |
| 08:41:04 | TylerM: | thanks to Free Software Magazine : ) |
| 08:41:51 | epifanio: | well! we as "gfoss" gived sponsorship to a barcamp "materacamp", exactly these the site : http://www.materacamp.com/ |
| 08:41:53 | sigq: | Title: MateraCamp - Matera Barcamp ( at www.materacamp.com ) |
| 08:43:04 | epifanio: | the good news ... new iscritions at gfoss .. and more important the Basilicata university ( environmental engineering ) will adopt foss sw in the gis lab course |
| 08:44:52 | TylerM: | Can you send me information about that decision at Basilicata?? |
| 08:45:09 | TylerM: | I could really use it for a proposal I'm writing |
| 08:46:56 | epifanio: | i had a free seminary at B. univ. , their analyses are focoused on idrology ... during the seminary i helped the theachers to know how to port the most important gis operation from arc-xxx to grass and qgis |
| 08:47:40 | epifanio: | especially how to extract bacins and how to work with grass raster tools like r.mapcalc and othe more speciphics idrolgy's tools |
| 08:49:16 | epifanio: | grass is able to extract bacins on the same computer ( and same dtm files ( 700mb ) )where arcgis get a crash ... it has convinced them |
| 08:49:30 | TylerM: | wow - good story |
| 08:51:35 | epifanio: | as we well known ... foss gis is freely distributable so teachers will not crack any sw for its students ;- ) |
| 11:07:58 | wildintellect: | anyone know of free tools for post processing RINEX files |
| 11:15:42 | wildintellect: | wait one step back, how to convert Trimble SSF files into csv, shp or other more usable format |
| 11:15:58 | steko_: | wildintellect: check out gpsbabel |
| 16:07:21 | TylerM: | wildintellect: you figure out your gps data question? |
| 16:07:31 | TylerM: | someone on the foss-gps list might know too |
| 16:24:23 | wildintellect: | TylerM, gave up on that line and got lucky terrasync on the PocketPC can export to shp |
| 16:26:08 | wildintellect: | my review is still the same, Trimble are a pain in the ... and uneccessary except for precision ag, construction and few other jobs that need centimeter gps accuracy |
| 20:11:52 | darkblue_b_: | wildintellect: here? |
| 20:12:52 | darkblue_b_: | ok, sending email |
