It is through a collaborative environment that great strides in development are made. In Conservation Economy there is a stress on a healthy environment as a key to a successfully economy and society as a whole.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Economics – One of the main drivers of OS software is economic benefit. It is not the case that OS software advocates software developers to not get paid, but instead an alternative model to the proprietary giants of the past. Innovation through cooperation and payment through service based endeavors release the code from the hands of the economic giants and back into the hands of the community. The Conservation Economy argues that it is only through a healthy balance between economics and its partners environment and social equity that we as a society will be able to sustain for the long term benefit of our children.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Application frameworks – WebOS</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Away from the basic client/server, into the component based WebOS architecture</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Lazy loading</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">JSON</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Walter Zorn</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Prototype</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">DOM with JS</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>GRASS/GMT on the web</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Simple PHP based architecture</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Moving toward a web based GIS</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Mapserver</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">AJAX Mapserver (new dBox)</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Simple framework</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Simple mapfiles</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Simple PHP mapscript</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Async apps on the web – event based apps</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Integration of WINE on the web</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">AJAX Event management to achieve seamless apps</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Simple PHP scripts</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">process_****.php</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Simple Linux</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">find</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">emacs</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">rpm</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">which</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">ldconfig</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">REGEX</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Building custom QGIS based apps</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Using the map canvas and QT</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>PostGIS queries</strong></li> </ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <ul> <li><strong>Machine setup</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Linux Laptop</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Linux Servers</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">NAS</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">FC?
