Last month, 52°North staff visited the Schloß Eringerfeld for our yearly retreat. We wracked our brains from thursday through saturday, targeting 52°North road maps and aligning common goals and strategies for 2013. We braved the cold and snow to discover hidden archery talents and topped off the event with a medieval banquet in the castle dungeon! All in all it was a very informative, productive and constructive event.
52°North Associate Partner KISTERS AG is looking for a software developer for web technology. The tasks at hand:

The UncertWeb FP7 EU project has developed methods and open source tools for uncertainty propagation in web-enabled environmental modeling chains. One of these tools visualizes probabilistic spatial and spatio-temporal data in a browser. To assess the usability of this visualisation tool, the Institute for Geoinformatics prepared an online survey.
Please take the time and spend 20 minutes to get to know the tool and give your opinion about it! We will need this before Jan 15, 2013 23:59 UTC.
The questionnaire is available here.
For those of you who are curious, yes, this is the tool that will continue under the name GREENLAND!
As reported earlier, we have implemented an SOS extension for ArcGIS Server as a so-called Server Object Extension (SOE). We have developed this software for the European Environment Agency (EEA) and in support of ESRI Inc.
The ArcGIS Server SOS Extension is compliant with the Sensor Observation Service (SOS) 2.0 standard defined by OGC. Additionally, the SOE provides a new REST interface to sensor resources which complies to the Geoservices REST API developed by ESRI, which is currently going through the standardization process at OGC.
More details on this development (e.g., demo, download link, SVN access, installation instructions, etc.) can be found on the project’s website.
In a recently published interview, Peter Kjeld (EEA), Satish Sankaran (ESRI), and Andreas Wytzisk (52°North) explain this mutual development and further plans with this software.
A detailed illustration of the functionality of the ArcGIS SOS extension is provided by the following screencast:
