ArcheOS OpenLAB at ArcheoFOSS

As I wrote in a previous post, ArcheoFOSS workshop will be held in Rome this year. The organizing committee is preparing an "OpenLAB" session in which is planned also an introduction to ArcheOS. The session will be Monday, June 11 and should last a couple of hours.

Since the time is short for a detailed presentation of ArcheOS (it would take at least 2 or 3 days...) I would like to focus on the most interesting topics for the participants, so I ask your help: if you are in Rome between 11 and 13 June and you want to join ArcheOS OpenLAB, please let me know which kind of arguments you would like to learn more. If you do not know very much about the system, just surf in this blog and read some posts; most of them are related with ArcheOS. You can also check ArcheOS official website, look the screenshots and get an idea about its potentialities and about all the archaeological software.

To let me know what are your main interests simply leave a comment to this post (please mind that the time is short and I would like at least to show a general overview of the system and to spare some minutes to show a preview for the next release).

Thanks in advance!

PS

The photo below shows the last basic course of ArcheOS we did in Livelet archaeological park.

PPT with Bundler MultiTread

Thanks to Pierre Moulon, now PPT include the Multithreaded matching of Pablo d'Angelo. The modified code is release in TheFrenchLeaf github page. 

I update the deb package of ArcheOS (ppt version = 0.5). The results are amazing, but you will notice it only if you have more then two CPUs. I will upload a 64bit Debian version as soon as possible, just check from time to time the related Arc-Team webpage.

The picture below shows a 64bit machine with 8 CPUs working concurrently during Bundler.

ArcheOS 4.0 (Caesar) freezed

Hi all,

thanks to the effort of Fabrizio Furnari, ArcheOS  4.0 Caesar is now in a development freeze, which give us the possibility to test hardly the distro before the beta (stable) release. We plan to accomplish our checks in a couple of days, in order to upload the final iso image during the week-end. 

To have a (hopefully completely working) preview of ArcheOS 4.0 beta it is possible to follow the instructions Fabrizio wrote in the readme file on github.

We hope to give you soon good news about ArcheOS stability and to start with Theodoric development!

PS 

For ArcheOS 4.0 alpha users: soon a complete list of the package to update.

Which license for ATOR?

Sometime we receive emails from people asking if it is possible to cite ATOR post in other publications. Of course we like to share our post freely, so we chose a Creative Commons license. Actually we are using a CC-BY-NC-SA, because we wanted that informations from ATOR remain freely accessible, but now we notice that the conditions NC (Non Commercial) and SA (Share Alike) can be a problem, because in most cases they prevent the publication in the standard paper edition. For this reason we are evaluating the use of a simple CC-BY, which will allow to cite ATOR in a more easy way.
But before to change we would like to know your opinion about it, so we create the poll you see in this page on the right. Please let us know your preference!

ArcheOS on github

Hi all,

we are migrating the ArcheOS project on github. Everybody who is interested in ArcheOS development will find more informations in this site. Every kind of help is appreciated, from software suggestion to bug reporting; from artwork to packaging, etc...  

Thank you all for your support!

ArcheOS and UAVP for archaeological remote sensing

Hi all,

Finally I uploaded the presentation we did in the CAA Southampton 2012. Until our website is down (for maintenance), you can see it here. Inside you can find more details about the aerial archaeology project we mentioned in the post Xcopter drone and SfM techniques.

Here you can see the first slide, in the new Arc-Team theme I did playing with beamer, LaTeX :).

As you see the license is the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0), which we are planning to adopt soon also for ATOR to facilitate content sharing.

2016-03-31 Update

Thanks to self-archiving I can now add the bibliography related with this post:

 ResearchGate: Articl

Academia: Article

I hope it will be useful, even if no more up to date it can be a starting point to work in Aerial Archeology with Open Software and Hardware.

ArcheoFOSS 2012, Rome 12-13 June

The adventure of ArcheoFOSS is going on and the next stop is in Rome. The workshop will be held on 12 and 13 June 2012, at the headquarters of the Roman National Museum of Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. The official website is here: http://www.archeofoss.org/archeofoss-2012/. If you want there is still time to submit an abstract  (until April 6)!

Below you can see the official logo, design by Paolo Cignoni in 2009.

PS

This year we reach the seventh edition of this event! Not bad for a workshop that was designed in a cafe in Vienna (2005).
