Geographic Information System

GIS project is initiative to package GIS related technologies and make it the best distribution for Fedora and EPEL platforms.

GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
geoclue - a modular geoinformation service
GEOS - Geometry Engine - Open Source
GMT - Generic Mapping Tools
gpsbabel - A tool to convert between various formats used by GPS devices
gpsd - Service daemon for mediating access to a GPS
gpsdrive - A GPS based navigation tool
gpsman - a graphical manager of GPS data that makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in a friendly environment.
GRASS - Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
libgeotiff - GeoTIFF format library
MapServer - Development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications
OGDI - Open Geographic Datastore Interface
PostGIS - PostGIS adds support for geographic objects in PostgreSQL
PROJ.4 - Cartographic Projections Library
QGIS - Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System
mapnik- Above all Mapnik is about making beautiful maps.
openlayers - A JavaScript library for displaying map data
tangoGPS - a lightweight and fast mapping application

garmintools - Communication tools for Garmin devices, depends on libgarmin which is missing
Libgarmin - C library to parse and use Garmin image files
gpscorrelate - A GPS photo correlation / geotagging tool
libproj4 - Cartographic projection library
mapbender - Geospatial portal for OGC OWS architectures

BeeGIS - opensource tool for Digital Field Mapping. Seems that they didn't try to build it for Linux (although its based upon JGrass/uDig/Eclipse).
EPSG - OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee Geodetic Parameter Dataset
GeoTools - The Open Source Java GIS Toolkit.
HidroSIG - a GIS with special tools that will allow you to make estimations and analysis of hydrological, climatic and geomorphological variables.
JGrass - open source GIS based on the GIS framework of uDig (that is why the intro looks so similar to that of uDig). JGrass tries to exploit in its engine the power of GRASS.
libnav - LibNav is an algorithm library for navigation and positioning.
MapGuide - web-based platform for developing and deployment web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
Navit - Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine. (started with packaging FabianAffolter)
OpenEV - software library and application for viewing and analysing raster and vector geospatial data.
OSSIM - high performance software system for remote sensing, image processing , geographical information systems and photogrammetry.
Thuban - Interactive Geographic Data Viewer.
uDig - open source (LGPL) desktop application framework, built with Eclipse Rich Client (RCP) technology.
Viking - GTK2-based GPS data editor and viewer
