Sorry for the delay. My dog got some health issues that I'm trying to
solve.
Anyway...
I like to work mostly with C and C++.
As a matter of fact, my objective was to bring all of the OSGeoLive
packages to Debian as well. I'm actually in their mail list for the
OSGeo Live 9. They were talking about choosing Ubuntu 14.04 because of
the stability. I'm not a OS expert but, in my experience, Debian is way
far more stable than Ubuntu (again, just my personal experience).
I've got an interesting program to suggest:
- SPRING - http://www.dpi.inpe.br/spring/english/index.html
It's a brazilian software made in partnership with a french company.
The utility for vectorization of raster files (to dfx, for example)
works faster and better than other GIS softwares (the ones that utilize
GDAL).
As soon as I solve the health issues of my old pal, I'll get back to the
learning process of packing to help in the DebianGIS project.
For now you can keep me updated of the docs and translation processes. I
would gladly give a hand on that matter.
Att,
Matt.
