Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2009 to reach those who cannot attend
Hi Ravi, Yes, you are so right, we do need to collect as much of the material from the FOSS4G conference as we can. One way we hope to facilitate this has been to give every attendee a LiveDVD which can be populated with all the material from the workshops. This means that if workshop presenters can get their data onto the DVD, then they know all attendees will receive it. So we have budget for the LiveDVD. We have an old version of the LiveDVD (based on FOSS4G 2008). What we need to continue through to completion is to have someone who will coordinate the compiling of the DVD. This is primarily a project management role, keeping track of what is on the DVD and what should be on it, contacting workshop authors, and project leads and helping them get their projects onto the DVD etc. Sound like you? It would be an incredibly valuable contribution to FOSS4G and the greater OSGeo community at large. Jody Garnett wrote: These are all kind thoughts.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2009 to reach those who cannot attend
Hi, volunteer: Happy to note a good discussion. I can help in seeing the draft of workshops/Labs that deal with Vector-GIS and GIS that focuses on Geoscience. Can help in advising where necessary, to tune the material such that those multitudes not attending the event can equally use the material with ease.
