3D Dev Weekend

_i · 2011-12-02T11:48:11.000Z

If I understand you all right, then the most of you will visit the FOSSGIS conference, right?
So from 20-22.03 in Dessau.
But than it would make sense to do it directly 2days before or after this conference and of course in Dessau, doesn’t it?

Hi there,
we can also do this in frankfurt/offenbach.

If we decide for Garching: I think it woudn’t be a problem to get a room at the university.

Hmm as to the doodle vote, the most are interested in the last weekend at 24-25.03. which would be one day beyond the FOSSGIS conference in Dessau. So changing the location?

bvbmatze · 2011-12-05T09:03:02.000Z

If I understood Marek right, it is for personal reasons only possible for him to do it in Garching. Also, the organisation there would probably be the easiest, since we already have at least two suggestions for workshop rooms as well as experiences from the first workshop.
Of course a location more central in Germany and closer to Dessau would have its benefits too, but do you (!i!) have any concrete plans for organising it somewhere there yet?

_i · 2011-12-05T10:10:58.000Z

No, and if Marek isn’t attending to FOSSGIS (I thougth he would join this conference), we will do it of course in Garchingen. I just tried to keep my journey as short as possible

Hi, I would like to participate at the 3D Dev weekend. I did not spend much time with OpenDEM.info because I was and I am busy with the processing of bathymetry data for OpenSeaMap (openseamap.org).
For a long time I want to test some ways to derive high precision height data with low cost DGPS and GPS Barometers. I hope I could present some results in march at the weekend.

_i · 2011-12-05T21:07:52.000Z

Good to know you on board Martin

marek_kleciak · 2011-12-06T08:25:07.000Z

Prof. Sankowski, Head of OSM Staff from TU Lodz, can participate before 20.03. I think 09. - 11.03.12 is ok…

_i · 2011-12-06T09:09:38.000Z

Please add his favourites to the Doodle link, so we will get an good overview.
Currently it seems to be a lot of people. Great!

_i · 2011-12-11T19:54:19.000Z

Ok friends, after a discussion with Marek, we picked the weekend from 17. -18.03.2012. Sadly there is always a date where somebody is missing, but we guess this is a good solution for everybody that likes to visit the FOSSGIS afterwards.

Now we can enter the next steps:
-add ideas for topics that you think should be discussed
-add if you want definitly join this workshop (as we have to rent rooms, but there is still time)
-get room for the workshop itself (Marek?Saerdnaer?)

Ok, so I think this will be a nice metting and we can present interesing results, maybe already at the FOSSGIS

_i · 2012-01-04T14:06:17.000Z

Hi everybody, hope you had all a good new years eve

Please try to decide within the next weeks if you can come, as we try to get some accomodation there, so we need the number of guests.

Aleš_Janda · 2012-01-10T08:48:25.000Z

Hi, I’m coming, definitely.

Tordanik · 2012-01-20T15:08:40.000Z

Hi everybody, there have already been a lot of suggestions what we could do and talk about in Garching. A few of us have now created a first rough draft for an agenda in the wiki:

http://wiki.osm.org/2nd_3D_Workshop_Garching/Agenda

It’s based on the ideas for topics from the wiki page and previous forum posts. But be aware that this is just intended as a starting point for discussion. So is there anything missing that you would like to do, would you prefer to organize things differently, are you interested in the topics currently on there at all?

_i · 2012-01-23T22:52:08.000Z

I like the topics on the agenda, but would suggest to switch the days and start directly with a tagging discussion for a basic tagging scheme. To me this seem to be the most important reason for our meeting, so it should be #1? What does the other say?

Peda · 2012-01-25T18:44:30.000Z

I agree that the tagging scheme is the most important topic on that list. However, I would not change the order and I’ll tell you why:

I think the first topic on the first day has to be some introduction talks, the “who is who” and why is anybody here at all. In my opinion this implies talks about the participants’ projects, which is also important to sort out the incentive of their presence. This simply takes time (at least that was the case at first workshop with much less participants). So moving the tagging discussion to the second time gives us a full day to talk about it, plus the knowledge who wants to achieve what with their project.

_i · 2012-01-26T08:55:52.000Z

Sounds wise to me, so let’s keep the old order

vvoovv · 2012-01-26T13:51:52.000Z

I’ll attend the workshop with high probability.

If there is interest I can show how to use Google Sketchup Photo Matching feature to construct 3D buildings models from photos and how to use OSM plugin for Google Sketchup.

Also, I’m developing an application that converts OSM file to POV ray scene. I’m going to present a few weeks before the workshop.
Aleš Janda, Tordanik: are you interested in discussing how to represent OSM objects and their properties (e.g. realistic textures) in Povray?

!i!
You wrote some time ago about external 3D models repository. Do you expect to have some progress in this area?

marek kleciak:
What accomodation options will be available?

While I’m not an expert on the topic, I’m generally interested in discussing POVRay - after all, OSM2World can also be used for creating .pov scenes, even if it is not the sole focus of the software.

However, this is a topic that only affects a small number of developers, so it would probably not be interesting for most participants. Maybe we could find a bit of time between the “main” topics of the workshop (= those that are relevant for almost all participants), e.g. in the evening, to discuss more specific topics such as this one?

vvoovv · 2012-02-19T18:51:42.000Z

Tordanik,
yes I meant to discuss Povray-related things in a close circle.
