Blog, News ‐ Posted on 14.04.2020 by simone giannecchini

Dear Reader, Open Street Map (OSM) is a popular collaboration mapping project that has over 2 million registered users. It provides the capability to update, using the power of crowdsourcing, critical information that can help decision makers and citizens to make day-to-day decisions. For example, the Humanitarian Open Street (HOT) Team is coordinating updating the status of hospitals, times that businesses are operating, and other useful data, during the COVID-19 outbreak. It is safe to say that OSM data is successfully used as base maps in a wide variety of tools and services. When it comes to using OSM data in our...

The presentation, also available as a video, introduces the audience to the machinery supporting the OSM like map available in the GeoServer home page. That's a large body of work, which improved GeoServer CSS styling, added new rendering engine features, as well as improved map rendering performance for complex maps. You can also have a look at it in our MapStore client embedded here below. Some static  example outputs are reported below. Back at the time, we released the set of CSS styles backing the...

GeoSolutions is attending GEOINT 2020!

Blog, News ‐ Posted on 03.02.2020 by simone giannecchini

Dear Reader, One of the first actions GeoSolutions USA took was to join USGIF and submit a training proposal to the 2020 GEOINT Symposium, which will take place in Tampa,  April 22-26. Why? Because tools that support open standards are critical to ensure interoperability of GEOINT.   I have provided training for the last 3 years about OGC standards and how they can efficiently support geospatial intelligence needs. This year I will be more practical and talk about robust open source tools (MapStore, GeoServer and GeoNode) that implement open standards and that enable efficient management, dissemination and visualization of raster and vector data. The training titled “Building Interoperable Spatial Data...

Hi, from GeoSolutions US CEO

Blog, News ‐ Posted on 09.01.2020 by simone giannecchini

Dear Reader, after almost 10 years at the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) leading the Innovation and Compliance Programs, I am very excited to join GeoSolutions and support developing of open source solutions in the US and Americas (See blog about the opening of US Office). In these years at OGC, I was not only able to see the raise of new open standards within the OGC agile prototyping approach, but also the raise and uptake of open source implementations of OCG standards. I remember, when I joined OGC, there were only two reference implementations: GeoServer for WMS and WFS and GeoNetwork for CSW....
