| [13:44:49] | <mstenta> | Hi herb :-) |
| [13:45:02] | <mstenta> | herbn* |
| [13:45:27] | <herbn> | hi |
| [13:45:27] | <farmBOT> | ni hao |
| [13:45:38] | <herbn> | glad someone is "on" |
| [13:45:41] | <mstenta> | welcome |
| [13:45:53] | <herbn> | thank you |
| [13:46:02] | <mstenta> | yea, it's been quiet in here recently |
| [13:46:21] | <mstenta> | I'm away on a brief vacation right now actually with family |
| [13:46:31] | <mstenta> | headed home tomorrow |
| [13:46:32] | <herbn> | everyone is in the garden/on the farm ;-) |
| [13:47:28] | <herbn> | actually i am not a farmer but have small scale garden (around 200square meter) |
| [13:47:47] | <mstenta> | cool |
| [13:47:48] | <herbn> | i really like the idea of farmos |
| [13:47:55] | <mstenta> | my name is Mike |
| [13:48:07] | <mstenta> | I'm the lead developer :-) |
| [13:48:49] | <herbn> | i know i surfed farmier a bit already |
| [13:49:13] | <herbn> | do you think it makes sense to set up farmos for such small garden? |
| [13:49:36] | <mstenta> | sure! |
| [13:49:59] | <mstenta> | I'm just starting my own small operation, and I use it |
| [13:50:08] | <herbn> | i would like have something to follow up on crop rotation and such things |
| [13:50:47] | <mstenta> | yea it works great as a central place to keep logs of your activities |
| [13:50:57] | <herbn> | maybe you have a hint on another topic |
| [13:51:00] | <mstenta> | so you can look back on them in the future |
| [13:51:13] | <mstenta> | and also to plan future activities |
| [13:51:32] | <mstenta> | brb - I'm on my phone right now... switching to laptop |
| [13:52:10] | * mstenta1 has joined #farmos |
| [13:52:24] | <herbn> | thnx |
| [13:52:33] | <mstenta1> | back |
| [13:53:00] | <herbn> | it seems you can mark certain areas on a map with a polygon (the vegetables beds and such) |
| [13:53:01] | <mstenta1> | so yea, for crop rotation - what you can do is create multiple plantings, assigned to different areas, as far ahead as you like |
| [13:53:23] | <mstenta1> | yes, you can create different kinds of areas: fields, buildings, row/bed, greenhouse, etc |
| [13:53:32] | <herbn> | is it possible the use my own map as a base layer? |
| [13:53:53] | <herbn> | google maps is not very accurate |
| [13:53:55] | <mstenta1> | yes you can! depending on what format it's in... |
| [13:54:19] | <mstenta1> | i actually just added an integration module with MapKnitter, which is a free service for knitting together aerial photographs |
| [13:54:26] | <herbn> | in my area |
| [13:54:28] | <mstenta1> | mapknitter.org |
| [13:54:31] | <herbn> | i havent created it yet, which format would you suggest? |
| [13:54:32] | <mstenta1> | but you can also use other sources |
| [13:54:51] | <mstenta1> | take a look at MapKnitter - that might be the easiest if you are trying to create it from aerial photos |
| [13:55:34] | <mstenta1> | you basically just assemble it all in MapKnitter, and then type in the "slug" (which is just the map name) into the farmOS Mapknitter module, and it will be included on top of the default google maps automatically |
| [13:55:34] | <herbn> | i will, thx |
| [13:56:16] | <mstenta1> | other than that, there are lot of options available with the Openlayers module, which is what farmOS uses for mapping features |
| [13:56:33] | <herbn> | so do i need some long lat/ gps coordinates to align it with the google map? |
| [13:57:10] | <mstenta1> | in MapKnitter, you literally drag and stretch photos on top of an existing map so you can line it all up properly |
| [13:57:38] | <herbn> | well i will problably figure it out |
| [13:57:38] | <herbn> | very nice |
| [13:57:41] | <mstenta1> | and if your photos have geo metadata stored in them (most cell phone cameras do) it will automatically place them for you in the right spot |
| [13:57:52] | <herbn> | even better ;-) |
| [13:58:22] | <mstenta1> | you still need to do some manual adjustments - like stretching to make up for pan/tilt etc, but it's pretty easy |
| [13:58:41] | <mstenta1> | do you get the farmier newsletter? i included some links in the last one that went out a few days ago |
| [13:59:05] | <mstenta1> | here it is: http://farmier.com/newsletter/2015/08/25/farmos-beta-5-mapknitter-ui-api... |
| [13:59:48] | <mstenta1> | i am aiming to put out a new release each month, and i announce the new features and other stuff in the newsletter, so sign up if you want updates |
| [14:00:20] | <mstenta1> | pretty soon i am also going to launch a farmOS hosting service - for folks who don't want to bother setting up/maintaining it themselves |
| [14:00:24] | <mstenta1> | that will be through Farmier |
| [14:02:01] | <herbn> | i would like to, i alreadytried to get a test login on your farmier website (my mail starts with xterm...) |
| [14:02:14] | <herbn> | thank you for the quick chat, need to leave my train and thereby my wificoverage but i will check the channel later |
| [14:02:22] | <herbn> | bye |
