4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Arnold Williams
- I continue to receive weekly calls from Surdex (Loran Chick) giving me updates. No flights are planned for this week due to rain. Completed flight lines of the project can be seen at:
http://www.flymoimagery.com/orthophotography/ - Quantum is in the process of fixing problems that were deemed approved but short of re-flying. He asked if I wanted the re-flight of April 22 flight lines. I told him yes. Initial data should be shipped this week.
4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell
- MSDISWEB/Imagery Virtual Servers update – All Mizzou services currently located at MS&T (Rolla) are being relocated to the new Disaster Recovery location at UMKC. We do not have a target date yet for these changes. We will be meeting sometime in the future with DOIT staff to discuss impacts on the MSDIS servers.
- The GRC/MSDIS will be moving to a permanent new location at Mizzou North (old Ellis Fischel facility next to US 70 and very near the USDA offices in the Parkade Center). The move will likely take place in mid-April. Stewart Hall (the GRC’s current location) will be renovated, but the allocation of space within the renovated building under current plans will be problematic for projects that GRC/MSDIS have been pursuing, so the determination has been made to make the move permanent.
- MSDIS is registered as an NFP for the 2016 MAGIC Symposium in Overland Park, KS. Several staff members will be teaching workshops and/or presenting. Tim Haithcoat and Mark Duewell are both scheduled as workshop instructors and presenters.
- Geoportal – Clip & Download – an increase in the number of files available in the Portal C&D from 2,853 to 2,859.
- The new imagery from the St. Louis consortium (East-West Gateway etc.) will go up as soon as we clear some deadlines for the Harris Project.
- Taney County’s latest data is now posted.
