We are pleased to announce a Call for Presentations for the 2007
FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial)conference, being
held September 24-27 in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
http://www.foss4g2007.org
FOSS4G is the premier conference for the open source geospatial
community, providing a full-immersion experience in established and
leading edge geospatial technologies for developers, users, and people
new to open source geospatial.
FOSS4G presentations are 25 minute talks, with 5 minute question and
answer sessions at the end. Presentations cover the use or development
of open source geospatial software. Anyone can can submit a
presentation proposal and take part in the conference as a speaker.
Some topics of interest for this year are:
* Case Studies: Relate the experiences of you and your organization
using open source geospatial. Where do things work well? Poorly? What
problems did you solve, and at what cost? What do you recommend for
others? Why?
* Benchmarks: Comparisons between pieces of geospatial software. How
do features compare? Speed? Ease of use? What do you recommend for
others?
* Visualization: Tell about your tips and tricks for effective
visualization. How do you present information in a compelling way?
3D?
Cartographic tricks? Labelling and naming ideas? Graphs and hybrid map/
data combinations?
* Development: What are the new developments in your open source
geospatial software product? How does it work, how do people use it,
what are the technical issues you are running into?
* Hacks and Mashing: Have you put together something novel or cool
this year? What did you stick together, how did it work, show us your
gizmo!
* Collaboration: What techniques are you using to improve
collaboration between organizations and between individuals. Public
geodata, collaborative data collection, data sharing, open standards,
de facto standards, and more!
If you have an open source geospatial story to tell, we want to hear
it!
