Since last edition of FOSDEM, different volunteers have been working to create an indoor map of FOSDEM, complete with routing for wheelchairs/accessibility/... This map is available at https://nav.fosdem.org/ . It is created using C3NAV, an application built for the Chaos Communication Congress. In this application I want to focus on the application, how the map was built, why plain Openstreetmap was not sufficient, but especially I hope to get some feedback: where could we improve, how can we improve integration with OSM/other applications/...

Please not that this talks replaces the talk "3D OSM Plugin API for ESA-NASA Web WorldWind" because unfortunately the presenter could not get a travel permit.

SAGA (System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses) is an open source geographic information system (GIS) used for editing and analysing spatial data. It includes a large number of modules for the analysis of vector (point, line and polygon), table, grid and image data. Among others the package includes modules for geostatistics, image classification, projections, simulation of dynamic processes (hydrology, landscape development) and terrain analysis. The functionality can be accessed through a GUI, the command line or by using the C++ API.

SAGA has been in development since 2001, and the centre of SAGA development is located in the Institute of Geography at the University of Hamburg, with contributions from the growing world wide community.

This presentation will show some of the newer modules of SAGA and how these can be combined to scripts and toolchains to reproduce different steps of an analysis.

A very short intro from the devroom organisers - who is doing this and what organisations support the initiative.

Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.

OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.

Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.

Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.
