Industry: JGrass goes UDig [+]
moovida writes "It is official, JGrass goes UDig ! The JGrass team feels that it is time to join forces to continue the constant growth they had in the last years. Lots of things that JGrass misses are supplied greatly in other java gisses. That is the main reason why the JGrass team has taken the decision to join the UDIG team with all the JGrass code that is possible to migrate to their project and join their community. This will mainly add raster analysis support to UDig and also hopefully bring the worlds of GRASS and UDig to know each other a bit better. The two teams had a first offical IRC maraton of which the logs can be found here, the WIKI page of the migration progress is here. The JGrass team will be supported by HydroloGIS and Riccardo Rigon at the CUDAM. Special thanks go to the UDig team for the help they already gave and will give in future. As Pope John XXIII stated and Riccardo Rigon often repeats, search for what will join, not for what will split you up."
Industry: Web Processing Service (WPS) Demos 1 comment [+]
Anonymous Voxel writes "An old (but still interesting) news from geoserver blog: Theodor Foerster, of 52North and ITC, has been leveraging GeoServer in his work on generalization of geospatial data using the new Web Processing Service specification. He recently posted some nice new work, including updates to the Web Processing Service web app, as well as a new WPS client written as a plug-in to uDig. Awhile ago he also did some prototypes of integrating the WPS with GeoServer, making the WPS a datastore that could be served out as WMS and WFS. It’s great to see new open source tools being built that can use and leverage the work we’ve done with GeoServer. You can see his work in action, with GeoServer, in the screencast that he’s also posted.

Eventually we’re hoping to be able to offer some integration between GeoServer and his WPS work, possibly as a plug-in to GeoServer that makes it really easy to install both, and to do common data configuration through our web gui. In the past we’ve also talked to the FROGS WPS community about possible integrations as well. Since we’re evolving GeoServer to be a platform it makes a lot of natural sense to be able to bring WPS in to the mix, in some form. It looks like the FROGS people are also leveraging Spring, which may help compatibility as well (we haven’t talked to them for awhile so I suppose we can just cross our fingers that they’re looking at what we’ve done). So if anyone has the time or the money to get a WPS integrated with GeoServer, let us know, as we’ve got some great pieces to work with."
