A new Ilwis
It has been a long time ago since I wrote a blog entry. But I feel it is time to restart the ILWIS blog. Why? you may ask. Well mostly because there are interesting things happening. ILWIS 3.8.5 is around the corner. This is mostely a bug-fix release, but in a big way. ILWIS 3.8, let’s be honest about that, had too many bugs. Though 3.8 offered some very nice extras and more performance for visualization, it also introduces some nasty bugs. It’s the price you pay for working without a safety net of somebody who does Q&A (programmers are notoriusly bad at that).
Fortunately our management understood that and freed some extra resources (read in this case time) to fix that. The result is ILWIS 3.8.5. We fixed most of the nasty, unpredictable bugs. Re-enabled some (but not all) of the functionality that was missing from 3.8.4. Most likely there will be an ILWIS 3.8.6, which finish the 3.8 line for Ilwis. After that we will switch completely to something we call Ilwis-objects.
WPS-Ilwis Bridge – Midterm Post
The goal of this Google Summer of Code project is to extend the 52°North WPS‘s functionality by adding Ilwis-Objects as a processing backend. The 52°North currently supports several different backends, such as R or GRASS. The introductory blog post can be found here.
The current status of the project can be seen in the following diagram.
enviroCar Light – Mid Term Blog Post
Introduction
The collection of driving data using the mobile application for enviroCar requires a number of manual user interactions. This is unpleasant and tedious over the long run and poses a major obstacle for using the app regularly. To tackle these problems, the enviroCar light project aims to enhance the usability of the enviroCar application by simplifying and automating the workflow of collecting driving data in order to achieve more regular contributions of users.
Another drawback of the mobile application is the implementation style and the rather outdated technologies and libraries used. This makes it hard for external developers to contribute to the enviroCar project. For this reason, another aim of the project is to update the enviroCar app to current standards of Android-related development paradigms.more >
