Open Source GIS

gisgeek.pdx.edu/opensourcegis

Open Source, Open Standards, Open Data

Open Source Initiative, OSGEO, Sourceforge, GitHub	Motivation
Standards: OGC, W3C, ISO, etc	Linus quote

Software/Car analogy

Desktop Client vs Web Client

Desktop: gvSig, Quantum, Udig, OpenJUMP, ILWIS, DeeGree, GRASS, etc	Very competitive with COTS*, closing in...
Web: Mapserver, GeoServer, Autodesk Mapguide, Mapnik, OpenLayers, Leaflet, Tilemill, Weave, etc	In the history of web mapping, open source has forced COTS to play catch-up
PSU Stack: Linux, Apache, Mapserver, PostGIS, OpenLayers	Our "best practices" setup, with some variations

* Comercial Off The Shelf

Mobile

gvSig Mobile,(Android) MapBox (iPad), CyberTracker (Windows Mobile, Droid coming soon), GeoPapparazzi (Droid)	Still in the early stages for full functionality, mostly able to browse custom maps, from open source servers
Many non-traditional ways to collect data using "athletic" apps, ie Jogging, or dog walking to record routes	Other options include OpenStreetMap, and CrowdMap (related to disaster relief mapping)

The "Ecosystem"

GDAL – Raster Library
OGR – Vector Library
GD – Graphics Creation
Proj.4 – Coordinate Systems
FreeType – Nice fonts!
GEOS – Geometry Engine
Shapelib – Shapefile library
Java, C, Python, etc, all have versions of these functionalities

Staying up-to-date

Slashgeo(Good signal/noise ratio!), Planet.osgeo.org (Sort of noisy, and more techy)
