2011-03-07T14:05:04 <tclarke> I'd like to time box this meeting to 1/2 hour or less
2011-03-07T14:05:16 <mconsidi> here
2011-03-07T14:05:20 <tclarke> the first item is google summer of code
2011-03-07T14:05:53 <tclarke> we are planning on participating again this year...per the email which went out we may participate as part of the osgeo group
2011-03-07T14:06:22 <tclarke> I'd like to open this part up for comments about SoC, participating as part of osgeo, and for project ideas
2011-03-07T14:06:25 <dadkins> here
2011-03-07T14:06:46 <tclarke> our ideas from last here are here http://opticks.org/confluence/x/DgAS
2011-03-07T14:07:30 <tclarke> in short: an Octave interpreter, OGR vector data importer, SAR processing algorithms, and astronomical processing algorithms are the main ideas which are still relevant
2011-03-07T14:07:45 <tclarke> there are a few less developed ideas on there
2011-03-07T14:08:07 <tclarke> I plan on adding topics for video processing and digital photo processing
2011-03-07T14:08:54 <tclarke> also, I think it is a good idea for us to go under the osgeo envelope...I can go into reasons if anyone would like
2011-03-07T14:10:21 <tclarke> ok...any more SoC input?
2011-03-07T14:10:28 <tclarke> if not, we'll move on to the next topic
2011-03-07T14:11:20 <tclarke> next topic, FOSS4G 2011
2011-03-07T14:11:41 <tclarke> this is the osgeo annual conference for open source geospatial tools
2011-03-07T14:11:51 <tclarke> it's in Denver, CO this year (in September)
2011-03-07T14:12:17 <tclarke> opticks is hoping to have a presence there, possibly with a booth
2011-03-07T14:12:30 <tclarke> I'd like folks to submit abstract for papers related to Opticks
2011-03-07T14:12:52 <tclarke> we're too late to submit a short course idea but the abstract deadline for presentations is April 15
2011-03-07T14:13:05 <tclarke> I'd like to use the remaining time to spitball paper ideas
2011-03-07T14:13:41 <tclarke> a presentation on experience and problems related to open sourcing a previously gov't piece of software.
2011-03-07T14:14:59 <kstreith> Opticks capabilities paper
2011-03-07T14:15:30 <tclarke> discussion on the design and implementation of our upcoming LIDAR/point cloud framework
2011-03-07T14:15:45 <tclarke> video tracking using opticks
2011-03-07T14:16:07 <tclarke> using Opticks as a batch processing system for automatic data processing
2011-03-07T14:17:11 <tclarke> is anyone interested in either writing a short paper or presenting?
2011-03-07T14:17:25 <kstreith> me
2011-03-07T14:17:45 <tclarke> this is a good way to get published which is especially good for anyone thinking about an advanced degree...
2011-03-07T14:18:00 <mconsidi> me
2011-03-07T14:18:25 <tclarke> I'm planning on submitting at least 1 abstract and if I go to the conference, I'm willing to present any papers which get accepted (if the authors aren't present)
2011-03-07T14:18:41 <tclarke> ok, if there are no more ideas, I'll open the meeting for general comments, etc.
2011-03-07T14:20:22 <tclarke> ok then...meeting adjourned...watch the mailing list for notes and the next agenda
