I am a geography graduate student at Arizona State University, with interests in FOSS, big data, spatial algorithm implementation in python, visualization, the application of cartographic techniques / spatial analysis to planetary data (Moon, Mars, Titan, etc.), and remote sensing.
I recently earned a Masters of GIS through Penn State.

How accurate is approximating the Earth as sphere? whuber provides a good answer here, in that the method used to approximate the surface correlates to the amount of error. Additionally, what is the error being measured against - another sphere or a random sampling of in situ observations? This link gps-forums.net/worst-case-datum-error-t32487.html contains a few posts discussing error between datums (upwards of 2km horizontal cited). |

How accurate is approximating the Earth as sphere? Are you specifically interested in a spherical model or are you interested in ellipsoid models? I imagine that the amount of error would vary greatly between a sphere and an ellipse. |

Open source software to merge large shape files @anh.hv Agreed. Something I would love to do if I had a bit more time. I suspect that something like that will not happen until A)it is a part of some college coursework or B)It gets funded by a sponsor to GDAL. |

Geoserver GET request to the REST API without authentication I was able to get this functionality through a python cgi script. I too am stumped about where authentication actually kicks in. I should be able to use GET requests without ever needing to authenticate. At the same time, postGIS DB login/pass are stored in geoserver (and accessible via GET apparently)... |

Changing projection of base layer Do you have access to the untiled image? If so, you could use gdalwarp and gdal_tile.py to project and retile the basemap. |
