| 00:52:06 | wildintellect: | anyone have a quick source for the diff between WMS, WFS and WCS |
| 01:18:35 | SmokeyD: | wildintellect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service |

| 01:19:04 | SmokeyD: | ok |
| 01:19:08 | wildintellect: | its the how to explain WCS that's getting me stuck |
| 01:19:10 | SmokeyD: | sorry, didn't read them before posting |
| 01:19:23 | SmokeyD: | coverage service is for raster data only I think |
| 01:19:30 | SmokeyD: | like sattelite imagery |
| 01:19:34 | wildintellect: | not if you read the wikipedia page on it |
| 01:19:45 | wildintellect: | so what's the diff with WMS |
| 01:19:58 | wildintellect: | simply that WCS can support more than rgb values in a pixel? |
| 01:20:14 | SmokeyD: | yeah I think so |
| 01:21:39 | SmokeyD: | WCS serves up a list of pixels where each pixel can contain all kinds of values ( not just rgb ) while WMS serves up maps in rgb colors which are made up of both raster data and vector data. |
| 01:23:31 | SmokeyD: | WMS can deal with features visualised in a map. WCS only deals with pixels with a value. |
| 01:46:22 | wildintellect: | I think the wikipedia page might be misleading |
| 01:46:35 | wildintellect: | your definition is what I thought too |
| 01:50:35 | SmokeyD: | I am no expert, but that is how I understood it from the OGC site |
| 04:06:19 | SmokeyD: | anyone knows if the fao allows others to harvest the metadata on their geonetwork server? |
| 04:06:23 | SmokeyD: | I can't find anything on it |
| 05:23:05 | SmokeyD: | hey, is there a WMS/WFS/WCS compiant server that allows access permissions to be set per layer/layer group/map, etc? |
| 05:24:02 | SmokeyD: | geonetwork already uses pretty flexible access premissions per resource, but it's not a WFC/WMS/WCS |
| 05:25:45 | SmokeyD: | geoserver doesn't provide this as far as I can see |

| 07:26:11 | SmokeyD: | wildintellect: you here? Just found something cool out about Django:http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/jython/#howto-jython |
| 07:26:12 | sigq: | Title: Django | Running Django on Jython | Django Documentation ( at docs.djangoproject.com ) |
| 07:26:43 | SmokeyD: | THis would enable writing an app in Django and thus python, but deploy it on a java based environment and use java stuff in it as well |
| 07:27:54 | SmokeyD: | so you could write a Django site that leverages the geoserver and geonetwork code. You can even run it on the same servlet container, eliminating any overhead except for the jython interpreter |
| 07:42:27 | FrankW: | pramsey: with regard to email to postgis-devel - I often end switching to nomail on lists that do this. |
| 07:43:08 | pramsey: | FrankW: everyone else on the dev team wants it... should I suggest a -bugs list? |
| 07:43:18 | FrankW: | no, it's fine. |
| 07:43:36 | FrankW: | Just providing a data point. I didn't realize there had been a poll. |
| 07:43:51 | pramsey: | but I agree, w/ geotools, geoserver lists that have JIRA on the list I find the bug noise overwhelms the conversation a little |
| 07:44:09 | pramsey: | it also makes some converstaions that should be in the bug comments happen on the list |
| 07:44:21 | pramsey: | but as I said, it's the will-of-the-group |
| 07:45:45 | crschmidt: | er |
| 07:45:55 | : | * crschmidt doens't think conversation generally belongs in the bug tracker |
| 07:46:46 | crschmidt: | I'll also note that postgis-devel has had the Google tracker CCing the list for some time now, right? |
| 07:47:03 | pramsey: | yes, that's what everyone misses : ) |
| 07:47:06 | pramsey: | ( everyone but me ) |
| 07:47:39 | crschmidt: | and me : ) |
| 07:47:52 | crschmidt: | "Make sure the bug tracker doesn't turn into a discussion forum. Although it is important to maintain a human presence in the bug tracker, it is not fundamentally suited to real-time discussion. Think of it rather as an archiver, a way to organize facts and references to other discussions, primarily those that take place on mailing lists." -- http://producingoss.com/en/bug-tracker.html#bug-tracker-mailing-list-interaction |

| 08:31:59 | darkblue_B: | hi does anyone know if chris holmes is coming to Java One/Community One in SF? |
| 08:37:20 | pramsey: | I hadn't heard that he was. |
| 08:37:32 | pramsey: | His travel docket is pretty full w/ business stuff right now. |
| 08:37:48 | darkblue_B: | ok, thx |
| 11:38:44 | darkblue_B: | wildintellect: hello |
| 18:24:38 | : | <_bryce> Hi. I'm new to GIS stuff in general. I am looking for a program that I can give an image, and tell it the location of some points on the image, and it will then display the locations I give it on the image. Is there something like that which is open-source? |
| 18:24:52 | : | <_bryce> I've been fooling around with qgis and grass but they're just so elaborate |
| 18:25:12 | : | <_bryce> I don't mind learning one of them but I can't figure out even how to do this simple thing |
| 18:25:23 | : | <_bryce> with georeferencing a photo. |
| 18:25:45 | FrankW: | I believe the most straightforward approach is the georeferencer tool/plugin for QGIS. |
| 18:27:28 | : | <_bryce> ok |
| 18:27:30 | : | <_bryce> I |
| 18:27:42 | : | <_bryce> er, sorry, I hit return by accident. I will check that out, thanks. |
| 18:28:39 | FrankW: | I think it is the plugin named "Georeferencer GDAL". |
| 18:28:45 | FrankW: | I believe it has changed a bunch since I last used it. |
| 19:04:27 | wildintellect: | FrankW, the changes were mostly just the addition of more algorithms for the calculation of the warping |
