Sessions
OSGeo is an international organization, and the members are people from everywhere in the world .
OSGeo is cares and loves the community. When you move from "other" G software to FOSS4G you become part of the community.
This community has a range of roles like users of the geo-spacial software, conference organizers, geo-spacial software developers, committee members, and some many more.
We are a complex organization.
As the second objective of this talk I would like to explain our organization.
The preface of the main objective:
These last two years have been hard times for everyone, we have been locked down, working remotely and unable to interact in person with our colleagues, and probably on this FOSS4G some members will not be able to be face to face during this FOSS4G 2022 in Florence, Italy.
The main objective:
I would like to share the "autographs & good wishes" from the OSGeo community members that I've meet along these 7 years that I've been participating on the organization.
pgRouting not only allows to get routes for any kind of transportation, from 0 wheels to 18 wheeler.
A road is closed? Calculate how can traffic be diverted.
Don't get a result? Check if your graph is connected.
Need to deliver to several clients? Traveling Salesperson problem helps to determine the route.
Find out what is planned for version 4.0 that is a work in progress.
Learn about the spin off for vehicle routing problems.
pgRouting extends the PostGIS / PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality.
Advantages of the database routing approach are:
* Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like QGIS through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can either be PCs or mobile devices.
* Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing engine.
* The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL and its value can come from multiple fields or tables.
