Hello, I am writing this list to see if someone from the OpenStreetMap or OpenLayers community would be interesting in participating in the SVG Open conference this October at the Google campus in Mountain View, CA.
In the past, there have been many presentations on the topic of SVG in mapping and GIS, thanks in large part to Andreas Neumann, the founder of this conference series. Andreas is a cartographer by trade, and helps lead a significant SVG GIS effort: http://carto.net/ The Call for Participation (submitting abstracts) has been extended to the end of the month (May 31): http://svgopen.org/2009/participate.shtml You can register and submit abstracts here: https://www.svgopen.org/2009/registration.shtml I believe SVG Open would be a great forum for presentation and discussion of projects you are working on. This is a great opportunity to give feedback into other SVG projects, and even into the SVG specification itself. If there is a person in the OpenStreetMap/OpenLayers community who is particularly involved in the SVG aspects of the project, and who is interested in presenting, but who would have difficulty funding their travel, we may be able to help find a sponsor or funding donation for that presenter. Please feel free to pass this along to interested parties who might not be on this list. Given the short notice, we may be able to accept an abstract later than the normal deadline, since we are particularly interested in having OSM/OL represented at the conference. Thanks for you time and attention, -Doug Schepers SVG Open Organizing Committee W3C Team Contact, SVG and WebApps WGs _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
