Welcome.
Seeing the success of Paladin Vent's map and looking over how it is updated i decided to take the algorithm and port it to PHP so it can be executed on a regular basis.
The result was a map which basically looks the same but is rendered at superior speed compared to the original Java implementation.
For details on the algorithm and coding please visit the EVEDev Wiki Page.
This link will redirect your browser to the latest map rendered automatically by the cronjob: http://sov.eve-dev.net/latest.php
The current system prints the overview depending on the number of entries to either left, right or both.
Once the number exceeds about 40 changes the map will only display changes of sovereignty in outpost systems.
It is planned to add customizable options and timestamps to give users an comfortable Interface to work with and get the statistics they want.
There will be an interface to feed new jobs to the server which will then be rendered and displayed to everyone.
You can see the current work status of the server on this page: http://sov.eve-dev.net/?page=rendertarget
As an example for options have a look at this map, this is the influence map from today with some debug options:
dn = display npc influence
oa = omit alliance names
or = omit region names
Due to limitations of the EVE API and because i'm obeing their rules the server fetches an updated sovereignty list at 13:00 GMT.
This is the only way to make sure it is updated and not old data.
It adds a processing job for the fetched data to the stack and you can expect the new map to be ready about 10 minutes later.
Any feedback based on the rendering algorithm, the server stability or suggestions for the user interface are needed and appreciated.
The sourcecode will be released under the GPLv3 as soon as the application is mature and stable.
Known Issues:
* The npc influence needs an overhaul as its not exact
* Outpost data is static, it will become dynamic as soon as the EVE API provides outpost data

Looks good, but imho you can recognize systems with stations on Verite's map better.

i wonder if it's possible to implement something i've been playing with today: Animated gif's of infuence over time.
Doing them manually is, interesting to see the result, but boring to do :)

Edit: Did I ever mention how much I appreciate you multithreading Paladin's code?
:)
I started with this project after i multithreaded that released code, glad it's at least useful for you as Paladin had no DualCore. The other good thing with building is that i deeply investigated the used algorithms and also did some java coding... could come handy at sometime ;)
Just had real-life issues which prevented me from getting a showable version sooner.

Unlike every other war on the COAD forums, everyone wins.
AND hosting off your own space. <3
(PS: Hotspots [changed in the last x days] w/ system names and automatically scheduled and uniquely saved "zooms" on currently embattled front lines would be useful to 'us' in empire)

As I said in Verite's thread, dumping all the maps into one directory and using a flash or php script to generate a slideshow from the directory contents should be quite easy in comparison to the work involved generating the maps.

Has it occurred to you two (Mirida and Verite) to, like, team up?
I've always said that the big problem with Paladin's project was that it was a 1 man show, and he just wasn't capable of keeping up with everything on his own. And then when he disappeared, the project died in the water (until someone finally came along to pick it up a month or so later, thankyou again Verite!). What it needed to be was a proper community project- with several developers working side by side to keep it running and improving.
This is especially applicable now that Verite has started looking in to the concept of multiple maps (the power bloc map and such). If you two teamed up (along with any other bright sparks who want to get involved) and pooled your attempts, we might end up with a single set of totally awesome maps, instead of 2 or more branches of pretty awesome maps

This is great and all, but what happened to the Eve-Dev killboard?
No release in months, the only way to get it to parse a killmail is to use a development checkout from subversion, and even then it only parses 90% of mails.
You guys do a great job and I know you don't get paid for what you do.. but that killboard needs love :(

very nice!
some issues from first view:
- down in the south, some alliance names are printed on top of each other. While it doesnt matter if there is a region name, covered with some alliance title, the alliance should have some spacing in between. eg "The Sphere Confederation" and "Interstellar Starbase Syndicate"
- there is a problem with colour choice, best seen up north: Fatal Alliance and M.Pire have both blue, so its kinda impossible to see what system belongs to whom at one glance.
- Lables on Top of stations, in some cases you cant really see if there is a station, or what colour it has, as some lable is printed on top of it.
- it looks like if there can be space marked as (eg) Goonswarm, while there is no system or station in the space. Best seen next to Great Wildlands.
some ideas:
- hovering stations with the mouse could print the current owner
- maybe create some versions of the map that contain certain war theatres, such as the southern regions in one map, the northern in another. Each of these maps could come with higher resolution, so you can better see the area your playing in.

I like this.
In fact I've already taken to printing it out and spending some quality time with it in the bathroom.
