FOSS4G GeoTools/GeoServer attendees, I would like to draw your attention to the FOSS4G Code Sprint: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Code_Sprint
I plan to attend the sprint. - Who else will be attending? - Do we have any proposals? Anything you really, really wanted to get done in GeoTools/GeoServer but never had enough pizza or fingers? Kind regards, Ben. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [FOSS4G 2009 Announce] Sign up for Bonus Activities at the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G) Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:08:57 +0800 From: Cameron Shorter <[email protected]> Reply-To: Cameron Shorter <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]>, OSGeo Discussions <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]>, foss4g2009 <[email protected]> Sydney, Australia. 14 August 2009. http://2009.foss4g.org The FOSS4G conference is famous for its community driven, extra-curricular activities and wiki pages are now open for community members to define these activities for 2009. So if you want to get more out of FOSS4G than just listening, if you have a topic you want to discuss, a message you want to share, a product you want to show off, or you want to network with like minded people, then please consider adding your name to one of the following activities. Birds of a Feather Semi-organised meetings between people with specific shared interests. If you have a discussion topic or project in mind and want to coordinate a BoF session, please add it to our working list. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_BirdsOfAFeather OSGeo AGM OSGeo's Annual General Meeting which will hear reports from Local Chapters and OSGeo Committees. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2009 Installfest At the start of the conference, community members will be helping delegates install a wide variety of FOSS software on delegates laptops. Add the name of your project and yourself to the wiki if you will be attending. See also the Live DVD. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_InstallFest Posters Limited poster boards will be on hand for the duration of the conference. Add your proposed project and contact details to the wiki so we can determine how big posters should be, and how many we can accept. Monitor poster discussion on the foss4g email list. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Posters Demo Theater Ten minute product presentation slots will be running during morning tea and lunch breaks. These presentations are being offered first to sponsors, then to community members. Contact the coordinators if you wish to be involved. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Demonstration_Theatre Live DVD A Linux based Live DVD, with windows installers, will be provided to all delegates. This disk will further be available for use at conferences and marketing events around the world long after FOSS4G. This is a huge marketing opportunity, but is currently under-resourced; there is a chance we will be left using the same DVD produced for the 2008 conference. If you are a good community organisor, or a wiz technical geek, please help out with this activity. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Live_DVD Code Sprint Saturday after FOSS4G: Passionate programmers + pizza + caffeine + whiteboards + wireless = great software advancements. Add a project you wish to work on, a coordinator, and goals for your code sprint. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Code_Sprint The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP) A demonstration of standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications based on a Climate Change Scenario, being coordinated by the OGC.
