Thanks Gabriele,
Based on your responses, it seems that Go World Wind is a mature,
established open source GIS product, which is in line with the
principles of OSGeo Live.
On the downsite, it appears to be a large product, which may be a
challenge to fit on OSGeo-Live. I'd be interested to hear thoughts from
Angelos and others in that regard.
The documentation does appear to be comprehensive and I feel shouldn't
be included with the OSGeo-Live release (it can be referenced). Instead
just provide standard OSGeo-Live Project Overview and Quickstart.
Also, I request you make use of existing OSGeo-Live sample data rather
that adding a new dataset. This reduces disk space and helps with
comparisons and integration between applications.

I'm undecided on whether World Wind Web is ready. I'd be hoping to see a
specific stable version nominated for inclusion.
It also seems to have a relatively new development history, so might not
have reached a stable release yet?
Would it make to bundle GeoWorldWind and WorldWindWeb together? Or are
they two stand alone applications?
Warm regards, Cameron

Hi, I’m answering the questions referring to both versions.
If you consider including Java and Web version, I will provide two
different installation scripts.
/I confirm that my contributions to OSGeo-Live will be compatible with
the OSGeo-Live license guidelines at the time of contribution/
-What is its name?
Nasa World Wind, composed of Go World Wind and Web World Wind
- What is the home page URL?
http://goworldwind.org/and http://webworldwind.org/
-Which OSI approved Open Source Licence
<http://opensource.org/licenses> is used?
NASA OPEN SOURCE AGREEMENT VERSION 1.3
(https://opensource.org/licenses/NASA-1.3)
-What does the application do and how does it add value to the
GeoSpatial stack of software?
World Wind provides a rich set of features for displaying and
interacting with geographic data and representing a wide range of
geometric objects using a 3d virtual globe
-Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions of the
standards? Client or server? You may wish to add comments about how
standards are used.
Yes, it uses on the client WMS, WFS and as GIS formats: Shapefile,
KML, VPF, GML, GeoJSON, GeoRSS, GPX, NMEA and many others to draw
services on the globe
-What language is it written in?
The Java version (goworldwind) is written mostly in java and C++,
while Web version is in Javascript
-Which version of the application should be included in the next
OSGeo-Live release?
World Wind Java SDK 2.0.0 and regarding the web version, it’s updated
frequently, so the latest one available during the disk build process.
- If risk adverse organisations have deployed your application into
production, it would imply that these organisations have verified the
stability of your software. Has the application been rolled out to
production into risk (ideally risk adverse) organisations? Please
mention some of these organisations?
US Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), US Department of Energy, US Air
Force, Army and Navy, US State Department, US Geological Survey,
European Space Agency, Politecnico di Milano at Como, Sweden Defence
Research Agency (FOI)
-What is the Open HUB URL for your project?
https://www.openhub.net/p/wwjand https://www.openhub.net/p/WebWorldWind
-What is the size of the user community? You can often answer this by
mentioning downloads, or describing a healthy, busy email list?
The US Government is our largest ‘formally recognized’ community, with
well over a 100,000 users. World Wind apps are a standard in multiple
US agencies. Additionally, the European Space Agency has standardized
on WebWorldWind for delivery of spatial data. The
www.WorldWindCentral.com forum has: Threads: 13,095; Posts: 73,902;
Members: 32,080; Active Members: 90
-What is the size of your developer community?
Because applications using World Wind are many, especially throughout
the US Government, we cannot confirm the actual size of that community
but it is estimated to be in the hundreds.
-Do you have a bug free, stable release?
Yes, the latest stable version, 2.0.0 for the Java and the last in the
website for the Web’s one.
-Please discuss the level of testing that your project has gone through.
All versions of World Wind are tested before each release.
Additionally, feedback via the forum contribute to identification of
issues found by the open source community and these are addressed
accordingly.
-How long has the project has had mature code.
World Wind began as a .NET app in 2003 with some days in 2004 at
SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasa-exp/) of almost
100,000 downloads a day at ~250MB (including a base set of imagery and
elevation data for the world, the application was only a small
fraction of that). The Java version has been mature since late 200,
the iOS version since 2014 and the web version continues to mature,
but has been standardized on for use by the European Space Agency.
OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather than
libraries. Does the application have a user interface (possibly a
command line interface) that a user can interact with? (We do make an
exception for Incubated OSGeo Libraries, and will include Project
Overviews for these libraries, even if they don't have a user interface.)
Yes, in both version it has a user interface to interact with the
globe, even though its main purpose is aimed to develop new
applications. It includes a lot of examples (with the proper source
code) to test all the features using a graphical user interface.
-We give preference to OSGeo Incubated Projects, or Projects which are
presented at FOSS4G <http://foss4g.org/> conferences. If your project
is involved in OSGeo Incubation, or has been selected to be presented
at FOSS4G, then please mention it.
It was presented on different FOSS4Gs and is also in the OSGeo wish list
- Who will act as the project's liaison person.
Gabriele Prestifilippo
-Can you please discuss how your application will be installed.
About the installation for both versions, it will use a custom script,
which downloads the files, and then copies them into a directory, from
which is possible to find samples and executables.
-OSGeo-Live is memory and disk constrained. Can the application run in
512 Meg of RAM?
Yes
-How much disk space will be required to install the application and a
suitable example application?
The java version occupies around 300mb with samples, but might be
possible to reduce the size removing some files (documentation ~130mb
). While less than 20mb the Web version
- Each OSGeo-Live application requires a Project Overview available
under a CC By <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/> and a
Quickstart available under a CC By-SA
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/> license. (You may
release under a second license as well). Will you produce this?
Yes
-In past releases, we have included Windows and Mac installers for
some applications. It is likely we won't have space for these in
future releases. However, if there is room, would you be wishing to
include Windows and/or Mac installers?
Yes
Best,
Gabriele

Hi Gabriele,
Great to hear from you and interest in seeing NASA WorldWind on
OSGeo-Live.
The first step in including a project is to send an email to this list
addressing the questions linked from:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive
This helps us determine whether a project is a good fit for
OSGeo-Live, and also consider any logistical issues which we might
face (such as if there is enough space).
I'm looking forward to working with you further on this.
Warm regards,
Cameron (one of the OSGeo-Live coordinators)

Dear all,
I'm writing here on behalf of Patrick Hogan's suggestion, to
propose the inclusion of NASA World Wind in the next OSGeo release
(http://goworldwind.org/ and http://webworldwind.org/).
I've been asked to fulfill the requirements from the Wiki, and I
created the scripts for the project and prepared the documentations.
Let me know what else is needed toproceed.
Best regards,
Gabriele Prestifilippo
