OSArch Mission Statement

IMHO Workflow centrist rather than software centrist.

Why

• Produce high quality standard OpenBIM output (models) instead of relying on a proprietary formats.
• Encourage high quality OpenBIM output based on open standards rather than relying on a proprietary formats.
• Minimize data loss when integrating with other software
• Maximize use of standard locations, providing ease of analysis and discovery.

How

• Integrate a multitude of specialised tools into the design and engineering process, rather than being limited to a single platform, resulting in better design, using the right tool for the job, and more flexibility of contracts.
• Reuse the model to minimise investigative works, or minimise risk during refurbishments. Just as building works expect CAD plans of existing buildings, we will expect OpenBIM models of existing buildings in the future.
• Verify building performance data, such as environmental and architectural design intentions, with the original intents recorded in the BIM model, and perform in-house big data analytics on BIM data which otherwise wouldn't be possible with proprietary BIM.
• Continue to use your BIM data well into the future with no vendor lock-in, no expensive licensing or subscripion fees, and with complete flexibility of your company's digital pipeline.

iosvarms Hello everyone 20:58 Ioannis @Jesusbill Hi

21:00 Cyril Hi there

21:00 Laurens Oostwegel Hi

21:01 Cyril Three vertical dots bottom right to change your name

21:02 Xavier Sanchez Hello

21:02 Moult does bim360's and aconex's viewer also do server side rendering?

21:41 Xavier Sanchez It's like Home Assistant. I'm already running at my house. Very nice to learn a lot.

21:55 Thomas Kumlehn (Germany) @maximilian please tell your it pals at htw that visiting your project site is tricky, because of a missing or bad SSL certificate

21:57 RWA108 is the recording being restarted

22:06 Ioannis @Jesusbill yes for some reason it stopped by itself

22:07 RWA108 👍

22:07 arquiguru Maybe a "Getting Started" section. Get Involved doesn't quite explains it

22:15 iosvarms I think the "How to" principle for naming is the way to go.

22:17 arquiguru That's more user centered, yes. Basics of UX Design: what questions they are asking, what challenges are they facing, what would be a win for the user? (How to...)

22:18 Xavier Sanchez I just discovered the wiki. Very interesting information there.

22:21 Duncan Here's an example of the Cameleon skin for mediawiki: https://secret-wiki.de/wiki/Hauptseite https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Chameleon

22:22 arquiguru Regarding Stackoverflow web design, there's a site that uses the same format (voting system, etc) and focuses on BIM (mostly Revit though), it's called upclash.com

(spanish only). Justf FYI. I don't know if this is any better than a forum format

22:24 Moult making a list since i'm forgetting: 1) reskin wiki with colours and funky graphics! 2) use "how to" terminology to rename articles, 3) create new workflow category, 4) new page about introductory /generic FOSS tools like libreoffice please reach out to any academic institution you have connections to, and point them to OSArch - we can see how we can collaborate

22:26 Duncan @Moult we have a workflow category https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:Workflow_Example

22:26 Moult nice! didn't see that

22:26 Duncan list of categories: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:Categories

22:26 Moult btw blenderbim/freecad now being introduced in Achen University (sp?) i sent out an email to bond university (first bim course in australia) yesterday i sent one to sydney university about half a year ago and was ignored 😃

22:28 arquiguru @Moult what's the "speech" when reaching out academic institutions?

22:28 Moult @arquiguru i didn't have one, since I had contacts at both, so it was casual 😃

22:29 iosvarms you need to have some sort of relationship to get academics to listen to things like that 😃

22:30 arquiguru I'm asking because I used to teach at our national faculty and I have reach too. They are fans of QGis but then also encourage the use of Rhino and stay away from Blender for some reason (maybe they don't know it)

22:30 Cyril Can you write done the name of the platform you talk about Duncan ?

22:31 Moult EdX

22:31 Duncan edX & Moodle

22:32 Cyril Thanks

22:32 Duncan https://open.edx.org/

22:32 arquiguru About academia: I've been eyeing this for a while. I think this is the sort of things that are essential to conquer academia https://cgcookie.com/articles/introducing-the-cg-cookie-blender-curriculum

22:35 Moult @arquiguru that's a great link! Please post it in the forum thread so we don't lose track

22:36 Ioannis @Jesusbill very nice really

22:37 arquiguru I completed the form but never received the curriculum so I'm not sure but I think stuff like this is essential to "sell" OSArch to Universities. I will post it in the forum

22:38 Moult hehehehe "the less markety the website, the more i trust the foss" 😃 that's my rule of thumb

22:38 Duncan 😄

22:40 Maybe a BlenderBim Meetup is overdue?

22:42 Duncan here's the page on Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/#freenode_##architect:matrix.org

22:43 Moult https://blenderbim.org/community.html http://webchat.freenode.net/##architect agree! 😃 is somebody keeping notes of the conclusions from thi smeeting? there's very good ideas and i hope we don't forge tthem!

22:46 😃 Type a message

Duncan HI everyone! https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=User_talk:JanF

21:56 Cadgiru comment to loannis, before we leave the topic

22:15 Ioannis sure

22:18 Cadgiru waiting to but in

22:19 Cyril Hi, I wasn't able to join on time.

22:28 Bruno Postle Hi I could show you a project I have been working on with Blender Sverchok

22:29 Cyril 👍 I think :

• An organisation should be setup
• This organisation should be set in a country which not fear patent trolls (not US etc…)

22:44 Cadgiru osArch banner page... The Open-Source Architecture Community brings together like-minded users and developers who share a common goal: that the built environment can be designed, constructed, operated, and recycled with (free software) Open Source, increased transparency, and a more ethical approach.

22:51 Duncan osgeo

22:58 lukas alberts we need to share the work on several shoulders.. and somewhen this will cost. we can run osarch as is..and parallely have some official organisation..which could collect fundings and take care of the back-office of osarch. start with some legal text , then one will see who adheres.

23:06 Cadgiru comment... Often find more in community page.. Think Useful information on community should be Extracted and organized in the wiki. If organized, MediaWiki should be able to cater for all these needs...

23:12 lukas alberts how much is the website.. how much is a database with search engine.. it is all about the good search engine..

23:12 Ioannis YouTube video from Dion's channel on SVG construction documentation - Work In Progress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn_x4mi77cg

23:16 Cyril These project will help to build a complete workflow :

https://community.osarch.org/discussion/197/funding-open-source-development-a-stab-at-an-open-and-distributed-method-of-profit-sharing

https://community.osarch.org/discussion/199/demonstration-of-blenderbim-add-on-used-to-produce-house-alteration-drawings

23:19 Cadgiru @duncan 👍 Categories 👍

23:24 Duncan 👍 23:27 Cadgiru And would not having detailed examples of such workflows (detailed Tutorials) be a natural part of such a wiki...

23:29 Cyril I'll open pages for workflows for building energy modeling and HVAC. Describing theoritical workflows and fill actual workflow over time.

23:29 Cadgiru Off Topic opinion... Blender has a more creative approach than most CAD or BIM authoring Tools.. Implementing a Bim workflow in blender makes sense from this point of view.

23:32 lukas alberts orange3, dataminig tool, may help sorting categories.
