<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I have some code that we’re (The City and a commercial vendor) are interested in open sourcing. It’s related to AVL (GPS tracking of vehicles in our project) and currently consists
of PERL (CGI) scripts against PostGres/PostGIS database and schema as well as MapServer. There are some a variety of mapped based reporting functions as well as online map based visualizers built against GeoMoose and OpenLayers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">We have a desire to more fully integrate the package with GeoMoose as well as build out some new components for handling the updating of the client with some Push functionality as
well as animation (updating routines) in GeoMoose to handle the pushed data feeds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">To the question, what are people on the list thoughts about associating this project with GeoMoose. It’s entirely able to act as a separate entity as well, and the binding of the
animation and pushed data feeds could be implemented more as an extension in that case. The mapping side of the equation can be anything GeoMoose, Open Layers, etc . . .<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">The tools related to animation and pushed data feeds seemed like they could be reusable by others if integrated into GeoMoose at the core level, hence my questions here, but if the
thought is that this should stay separate then so be it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">For a quick look at things, here are some screenshots of the mapping side of things:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">There is still a lot of functionality to add to this as well, it’s in a serviceable state right now. Even remaining as a separate project and still related to the GeoMoose stack
would be an option as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
