OpenGeo Releases OpenGeo Suite Enterprise Edition 2.4.0

March 7, 2011 1 Comment

What else to do on a glorious sunny day[ref]Well at least here in Tempe, AZ – ymmv[/ref] than release OpenGeo Suite Enterprise Edition 2.4.0?  The OpenGeo Blog has all the details but I’ll highlight a couple that I think are pretty important.

  • OpeGeo Suite Enterprise Edition 2.4.0 has a nice long name that is hard to say like all enterprise software packages.  Kudos to OpenGeo for realizing this and supplying a name only an enterprise would love.
  • Lastest versions of all the OpenGeo Suite packages – staying on top is critical.
  • Analytics so you can either show off your popular site or see that no one loves your maps.
  • GeoExplorer updates including all those great new maps.

Clearly you could waste your time somewhere else[ref]Was there something going on this week?[/ref] or check this stuff out.

OpenGeo Suite; it’s bona fide!

Shapes, Intellectual Property Rights and “Where’s My Desktop App?”

June 17, 2010 2 Comments

The 12-Pac is here.

Sean was quick to put his GIS skills to work and create a shape that gets me excited (ignoring the fact that Arizona State has no football team anymore).  Bring it on Utah and Colorado!  Kudos to BT for calling him out for not using a good projection.  At least use Albers!

Intellectual Property Rights

One of the better blogs out there is the Spatial Law and Policy Blog.  Kevin talks about intellectual property rights and GIS data:

I am still trying to understand the implications of the recent announcement regarding ESRI and Geodata.gov. It certainly has caused a great deal of concern within the geospatial community. According to this post from the All Points Blog, such concern may be unnecessary. However, given that (i) in the U.S. federal government data is not protected by copyright, (ii) the Obama Administration has been pushing greater transparency with respect to government operations, and (iii) the improvements in technology and open standards, I am surprised that the items Sean Gorman discusses in this post are still an issue with respect to federal government data.

More good stuff over there to stay up on the law and geospatial.

OpenGeo Suite 2.0

So it appears OpenGeo has released the 2.0 version of their OpenGeo Suite.  Looks great including the pgShapeLoader.  OpenGeo continue to refine and improve their open source derived product.  Only thing missing is a desktop client.

Where is my StreetView?

So the US Open is going on and there seems to be no Google Street View of the golf course.  Shame on you Google!

OpenGeo Whitepaper: The OpenGeo Architecture

May 7, 2009 4 Comments

OpenGeo has posted a new whitepaper on their ways OpenGeo is architecting their web mapping.  The “OpenGeo Suite” is interesting to me in the ways they have thought about  integrating it into existing organizations.  No sense rearchitecting everything, just keep what works and replace what isn’t.  OpenGeo has a nice roadmap to follow.  I talked a little last month or so about geostacks and I like the idea of plugging different things in depending on different needs of clients.

Just give me a roadmap and Ill follow it.

Just give me a roadmap and I'll follow it.
