Hi everyone,
I've registered as a mentor and am particularly interested in
overseeing the OSGeo Cartographic Library project.[1] My link id is
"tmitchell".
This project is an excellent opportunity to fill an important gap in
some OSGeo (and other) projects - providing high quality cartographic
printing options. While many applications can do some basic
printing, it is not so common to be able to produce high resolution
(e.g. 300+ DPI) in print-friendly formats (e.g. postscript, PDF,
HPGL, etc.). This project will help identify a print configuration
specification and a few tools for processing them into print-ready
output.
More as time goes on...
