FOSS4G 2010 presentations: GeoKettle, GeoMondrian, SOLAPLayers in action!

There are now on-line the presentations given by Dr. Thierry Badard @FOSS4G 2010 in Barcelona, as already described in a previous post:
  1. GeoKettle: a powerful Open Source Spatial ETL tool
  2. Open Source GeoBI in action with GeoMondrian and SOLAPLayers!

Regarding Spatial ETL presentation, the version of GeoKettle used in the demo was the version 2.0, coming in October 2010, that benefits from the OGR Simple Feature Library ability to import/export from/to different vectorial file formats, including GML and KML, and RDBMS.


Regarding Spatial OLAP, the presentation is focused on GeoMondrian and SOLAPLayers version 2.0 (at the beginning of 2011), for which the key component will remain OpenLayers but wrapped using Javascript frameworks ExtJS & GeoExt.
