| 03:44:50 | sigq: | Title: Potlatch/Openstreetmap going proprietary ? | Gnash Project ( at gnashdev.org ) |
| 04:00:36 | crschmidt: | strk: have you not been paying attention for the past 4 years? |
| 04:00:55 | crschmidt: | Richard has gotten every manner of grief from the OSM foundation because Potlatch is not AS3 |
| 04:01:26 | crschmidt: | OSM has never been a free software project, and it's easier to find flash hackers who can use Adobe's tools |
| 04:01:34 | crschmidt: | so they have been trying to get him to rewrite it for years |
| 04:13:27 | strk: | I'm glad Richard is not involved in this, as I consider him a good guy |
| 04:13:41 | strk: | and he's been very helpful in enhancing gnash support of that |
| 04:14:50 | strk: | "osm has never been a free software project" is new to me though. I'm not much into OSM but the feeling I get from outside is that it is very close to the free sofware movement. |
| 04:15:31 | strk: | that announcement blog post itself make an effort to signal they are using an "Open Source" compiler ( Adob'es... ) |
| 04:23:11 | strk: | he doesn't even mention potlatch2 here: http://potlatchosm.wordpress.com/ |
| 04:23:12 | sigq: | Title: Potlatch the OpenStreetMap editor ( at potlatchosm.wordpress.com ) |
| 04:35:03 | strk: | looks like all starts here: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2008-May/010010.html |
| 04:35:04 | sigq: | Title: [OSM-dev] The future of Potlatch ( at lists.openstreetmap.org ) |
| 04:35:22 | strk: | so I must have been not paying attention for *only* 2 years ;P |
| 04:57:55 | crschmidt: | strk: it started a long time before that |
| 06:33:22 | : | * jmckenna it's lonely in #tosprint |
| 06:33:49 | FrankW: | jmckenna: some of use irc clients with limited "tab real-estate" for new channels! |
| 06:34:21 | jmckenna: | ha! : ) i see that's it's registered and i think we used it before...but i hear ya! me too! ha |
| 06:35:31 | FrankW: | Also, nearly dead channels are kind of sad - better to push some stuff into #osgeo ( IMHO ) |
| 06:36:04 | jmckenna: | ok fair, i was just about to update the wiki, but if you all don't mind the flooding those days we can use #osgeo |
| 06:36:43 | FrankW: | Well, during the actual sprint we might want to use #tosprint. |
| 06:37:00 | FrankW: | but I think the occasional preliminary organizational discussion could happen here. |
| 06:37:12 | jmckenna: | agreed |
| 06:49:25 | : | * jmckenna edits the tosprint mailman page |
| 08:09:26 | jmckenna: | 2010.foss4g.org seems down. |
| 08:14:38 | FrankW: | I presume Lorenzo is hosting this himself? I see it pings to host93-39-static.56-88-b.business.telecomitalia.it |
| 08:14:59 | jmckenna: | i was just trying to see who is hosting this also. hmm i have no idea either |
| 08:16:34 | jmckenna: | i will let lorenzo know right away...and maybe we can point to our host, so we avoid this again |
| 08:57:00 | bitner: | FrankW blogging?? What's this world coming to? |
| 09:03:28 | FrankW: | There is no trend to trendy for me to jump on the band wagon 10 years later. |
| 09:03:46 | FrankW: | In another five years I'm going to become a neogeographer. |
| 09:04:49 | jmckenna: | don't worry, i've tweeted this for you ; ) |
| 09:05:01 | jmckenna: | ha |
| 09:13:05 | jmckenna: | ( i guess i'm the last non-blogger....but each time i have a topic to 'blog', i realize the info in it should be posted to a public project/wiki ) but, twitter should be in everyone's toolbox, it's unbelievably perfect for monitoring the community in 140 characters or less </blog> |
| 09:13:49 | jmckenna: | in fact all of that info in that dxf post should be accessible to gdal/ogr community |
| 09:14:20 | FrankW: | It isn't really relavent as reference documentation, but it would be suitable as a gdal-dev email. |
| 09:14:43 | FrankW: | And I am now posting a reference to it on gdal-dev. |
| 09:14:50 | FrankW: | Which reminds me, I haven't written reference docs for the DXF driver yet... |
| 09:14:59 | jmckenna: | i was looking for that ; ) |
| 09:15:35 | jmckenna: | great work, wow, monumental |
| 09:16:07 | FrankW: | I think I'll cc: the fdo-users list since there may be interest in dxf support in that world. |
| 09:16:35 | jmckenna: | sure, it's big news around the community |
| 09:17:27 | jmckenna: | i do like it as a way to thank funding supports |
| 09:17:41 | jmckenna: | supporters |
