3D Dev Weekend

So early in March, no problem we will keep it in mind.

Well ETAP doesn’t sound that cheap(50Eur) but might there be a chance to get support by the University? I don’t need anything luxury but cheap as a hostel would be cool! Anybody who can check this out? http://www.garching.de

I´ll try to get support from City Garching…
3x person guest rooms are for 119€ available

I’d suggest to organize 3D Dev Weekend just before or just after the FOSSGIS-Konferenz: Dessau (Germany), March, 20-22

I was linked to this thread by !i! (greatest username ever) from my blog post on OSM data in 3D (bit.ly/sZMBDX), thanks for thinking of me!

This sounds like a great idea to me! The thesis I’m working on is going to have a fair chunk about working with the OSM data and will be talking about the need for better 3D data within, coming from both local governments and local mappers. I’m New York based, so hopping on a plane for a day or two meetup causes some financial concern. That said, I’ve found myself in Bremen during the early part of the year for the last two years so the stars may yet align.

And Skype is also a beautiful thing :wink:

Well, I’d then tentatively suggest the weekend 09. - 11.03.12 in Garching. Any complaints at the moment??!

@sbook: nice work, would be great if you were in Germany at that time again, so you could join us!

@marek great, if it’s clear who’s attending, I can get in contact with FOSSGIS or OSMF to see if they can spend us some money for lower personal costs.

@bvbmatze date is ok just for me. As it’s month away I have no idea if it’s good or bad :wink: Then I will make sure that I will have the time for this meeting.
If anybody would start a doodle vote not a problem, but I guess as always we can’t get a solution where everybody is available.

Has anybody an idea how to organize an Discussion that embedds users via skype? I guess not that easy to do, just with Skype or?

Was man braucht ist doch lediglich eine Webcam und ein Beamer. Dann erkennt man zwar nicht so sehr viel, wenn die Bandbreite begrenzt ist, aber ich denke es geht eher ums das verstehen, als um das sehen oder?

Well yes but beside Audio/Video Equipment and quality I expect esp. problems in how to integrate external persons into the discussion. I only had it once during a bigger (~40) meeting but that was already very moderated. Ok I guess this is just another problem :slight_smile:

What about putting it more cloth to the FOSSGIS event? For me it would make more sense to travel around and I guess most of you will visit FOSSGIS conference, as well?

Hi, I’d like to participate too. My topic ideas: using external models in OSM (why yes, why no), how to guess objects height (high bridges, more bridges cross-over, rivers flows always down etc.), how to handle terrain properly (large objects on rough terrain, road crosswise down from hill), how to tag horizontal objects in different height (for example horizontal bridge under which is slowly decreasing terrain). Date and place is ok for me :slight_smile:

It’s great that so many people are interested in this!

I will definitely try to participate. As far as I can tell now, any weekend in March should be ok for me.

The meeting is a great idea!

I will also try to participate. At the moment every weekend in march except the first would be ok for me.

Possible topics/participants etc. should from now on be added to the new Wiki-Page:

There is also a Doodle poll on the date:

Would be up for this depending on what it covers. I’m a long way from Germany (S England) so might be tricky to get there but would like to come if I can. My specific interests are 3D countryside data visualisation on Android or WebGL.

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?

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?

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 :slight_smile:

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.
