[Incubator] motion : accept vMap as an OSGeo Comunity Project

[Armand Bahi]

Hi Jo, 
 

 

Thank you for your welcome

 

For the license we use the Cecill-B witch is basically a BSD French adapted, if this is a problem I think we could change to BSD.

 

In our code files we have never included a license headers I'm going to work on this and hopefully get it done next week.
 

 

Creating a contributors.md file seems a good idea, I'll work on this too.
 

 

Tanks for your help, 
 Best Regards

Hi Armand,
 

 
 
Welcome! I've taken a look at the gitlab repository at https://gitlab.veremes.net/open-source/vmap and checked our guidelines at https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/. 
 

 
 
The guidelines for community projects are: 
*	geospatial
 
*	open source license, with source code check of headers 
*	accepts contributions 
 
It's definitely geospatial, so that ticks off the first item in the list. The license is an unusual one to me, and I had to google it, which led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCILL. People with more experience that I might have a different view on this, but I wonder if you should state somewhere the difference between your license and BSD/MIT?
 

 
 
Also, I did a random check of some code in a few folders and I couldn't find many files with license headers. Is that something you could look at?
 

 
 
Finally contributions- I can see from the repository contributors graph that you have commits from a number of people, which is good, but including a contributors.md file to help guide new people wanting to commit would be helpful. This might be the best place to add some explanation about your license.
 

 
 
All the best
 

 
 
Jo

Hello,

 

Few months ago on the 13th "Jornadas de SIG libre" in Girona (Spain) we've make a presentation of our WebGIS vMap (https://vimeo.com/showcase/6126225/video/347719352).

 

vMap is an OpenSource WebGIS tool based on PostgreSQL / PostGIS, you can find more information on the documentation https://vmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/presentation/presentation/

 

At the end of the presentation María Arias de Reyna from OSGeo Spain asked me why do not make vMap as an OSGeo Community Project and I told her it would be an honor to do it. So we start working on traducing the software and documentation and searching other companies to share the project management.

 

Today translation is almost done and a company that work mostly on 3D data using lidar and drones wants to join the team.
 

 

We are really interested on working with OSGeo so I would be glad to have your opinion.

 Best regards,
