Recent Open Source Geonews: Open Elevation Service, Denmark Complete in OpenStreetMap, QGIS Improvements, and more

Thu, 2011/10/27 - 13:44 — Alex

Here's the recent open source / open data geonews covering the last two weeks.

  • The OSGeo and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding
  • This Dr JTS entry mentions MapQuest's Open Elevation Service, that we never mentioned before - unrelated, Dr JTS aka Martin Davis, just got hired by OpenGeo 
  • OpenStreetMap for Denmark is now 97.2% complete, yes, crowdsourcing and open data can succeed, but the servers does cost money, hence the new OSM Tile usage policy
  • Here's an entry on expression-based labeling now in QGIS and the new expression builder, another one on QGIS Topological Editing and we even got a new QGIS Plugin Builder
  • R algorithms can now be called from SEXTANTE
