| [08:56:21] | <mstenta[m]> | should we package a development tarball with our releases? |
| [08:57:20] | <mstenta[m]> | our recommendation should always be to use Docker IMO, but it might not be hard to include a dev tarball as a convenience |
| [08:57:41] | <mstenta[m]> | > just noticed, it looks like they didn't an entry in the menu... |
| [08:57:41] | <mstenta[m]> | ah good eye paul121 - i'll push a fix for that now... |
| [09:49:03] | * AllanMacGregor[m has joined #farmos |
| [10:01:33] | <AllanMacGregor[m> | Hi I have questions about the area mapping is it mostly intended for crop planning? Or can be used to zone out the property on areas that are intended for farming and other projects? |
| [11:18:35] | <paul121[m]> | Allan MacGregor: good question, areas can represent many different things! |
| [11:18:53] | <paul121[m]> | some documentation for that is here: https://farmos.org/guide/areas/ |
| [11:19:25] | <paul121[m]> | There is a concept of "area type" to differentiate what the area is: |
| [11:19:25] | <paul121[m]> | > Area type - farmOS uses the concept of "area type" to organize and color-code areas on a map. Some of the types available include: Property, Building, Field, and Water. The area type field is not required, but if you do not use it then the area will not be displayed on the main map. |
| [11:20:43] | <paul121[m]> | but note that is for farmOS 1.x. In farmOS 2.x "areas" are turned into assets as well. Most of the time you will be mapping out Land or Structure assets in 2.x |
| [11:21:31] | <paul121[m]> | but now in 2.x it's also possible for any asset type to be mapped with its own geometry - for example, a compost asset might have a static location |
| [11:24:15] | <paul121[m]> | > the area mapping is it mostly intended for crop planning? |
| [11:24:15] | <paul121[m]> | typically your crops (plant assets) will be assigned a location through movement logs. Docs on this: https://farmos.org/guide/location/ |
| [11:24:15] | <paul121[m]> | This is still the same in 2.x, but it is now possible for a plant asset to define its own intrinsic geometry as well |
| [11:24:28] | <paul121[m]> | * static location (called an intrinsic geometry) |
| [11:25:11] | <paul121[m]> | There is good documentation on the 2.x location system as well: https://docs.farmos.org/model/logic/location/ |
| [11:25:50] | <paul121[m]> | came to say - farmOS dev call in 30min ! (and ping symbioquine as a reminder ;-) |
| [11:26:43] | <symbioquine[m]> | Thanks Paul! |
| [11:27:01] | <symbioquine[m]> | I did set a reminder for myself too :) |
| [11:41:30] | <mstenta[m]> | I won't be able to make today's call unfortunately |
| [11:52:29] | <jgaehring[m]> | <paul121[m]> "came to say - farmOS dev call in..." <- anything on the agenda today? I think I need to keep plowing forward w/ farmOS.js stuff, but I'm curious |
| [11:53:31] | <symbioquine[m]> | We were going to walk through my changes in https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/458, but it's probably best to hold off on that since Mike can't make it... |
| [11:54:38] | <paul121[m]> | that was the main thing, yea |
| [11:55:14] | <jgaehring[m]> | ah |
| [11:56:54] | <paul121[m]> | I'll still jump on in case anyone else joins but maybe it'll be short today ! |
