[OSGeo-Discuss] inspire conference 2013 paper and workshop
Hi all, thanks to Margherita, we now know, that the presentation proposal [1] for this years INSPIRE conference in Florence was accepted as Poster and the workshop proposed [2] was accepted under the condition, that we merge it together with the workshop from GeoSolution and their MapStore. Workshop: - I would like to ask all people, who are *going* to Florence and *want to actively participate* at the workshop, put your name there [3]. Deadline: Monday 27.5.2013. Reason for that: we need to make sure, someone will come and will something to say. Poster: --- Things have changed a bit. I already collected some informations about our projects based on their changelogs (for my Czech presentation next week) - somewhere I was successful more, somewhere less. Since I do not use all our projects as power-user and since I really do not follow their development in detail, and I doubt, anybody does, the content must be community driven. Apparently I'm failing with the management at this point, since nobody started yet. I'll approach my usual way: prepare some miserable content and wait, till other people see it and will try to fix my crude way of content formulating. And since it is a poster and not a presentation, cooperation will have to be done differently. But I know my limits and believe me, you don't want to see any graphical work from me. Who is *the* OSGeo poster expert for such cases? Who will print it?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] INSPIRE Conference 2013 - UPDATES on the workshop
Hi All! *Latest updates:* I talked to the conference organisers and came out that there is the possibility to maintain separate the two workshop, because there's an available slot for a workshop on Sunday morning. I talked to Simone and he very kindly made himself available to take this slot, hence we will have the whole 90 minutes at our disposal for the OSGeo workshop, that will take place presumably on Monday morning.

As for the workshop, it seems odd to combine MapStore as concrete product with whole OSGeo stack and more dialogue-based workshop. I see them as two different topics for completely different auditorium. I would understand, that MapStore people would feel upset, if they would have to share their time with pure OSGeo. From my point of view, all decisions are bad (except having two full workshops accepted). I think, that the best option would than be to share the time with MapStore and gladly accept their offer kind 30:60 (rather 60:30 - OSGeo in general, MapStore as concrete example of local company using and developing OSGeo projects), if possible. That was exactly my proposal :) We also had to try and find a decent title as having two different workshops using portions of the same time seemed misleading and actually contraddicted what was asked from the organizers. Therefore I suggested to split the time giving precedence to the OSGEO based discussion and then hold the MapStore workshop at the end. NOTE: This is nothing against MapStore. I wish them all the best and I think, they deserve full workshop time slot as well. INSPIRE conference committee forses us to compete as international organization with semi-local company (GeoSolution). This is simply not all right (or do I see it completely wrong?) Well, life isn't perfect and we need to live with what we are while we try to change things :) I believe the solution we are proposing here is Ok (not perfect I admit) as I believe leaves enough room for discussion as well as as enough room for us (as in GeoSolutions) for showing a bit of what we do. I also think, this shows us, that OSGeo is not taken seriously as important partner to conference committee of INSPIRE conference and that brings me back to our SDI committee proposed earlier - I have to push it little bit further (I do not like pushing to hard, though). Thanks Jachym Dne 20.5.2013 15:47, Margherita Di Leo napsal(a): Dear All, as correspondent author for the workshop proposal [1], I received an email from the INSPIRE Conference Organisers. Unfortunately, due to time and space limitations, it is possible for them to only choose a small number of the submitted workshops to appear in the programme. Therefore their request was to combine, if possible, our workshop with the one submitted by Simone Giannecchini and Tobia Di Pisa: Hands-on Introduction to create mash-ups for INSPIRE Services with MapStore Simone was in cc in this email. I just had a Skype talk with Simone, and we individuated a couple of possible scenarios: 1) Withdraw one of the two workshops; or 2) Split the 90 minutes at our disposal in two. Of course this decision is up to all the co-authors. In case we decide for the second solution, Simone kindly offered to shrink his time to 30 minutes, in order to allow the round table to take place in 60 minutes comfortably. Another request from the committee was to delineate a new title for the workshop, and the proposal would be something like: Ping-Pong match: OSGeo INSPIRE (with a practical intro to using MapStore for INSPIRE Services mashups) Of course also this is open to discussion. Please let me know ASAP your reaction.

Hi all, same here, as said in the beginning I'm unfortunately not able to travel but will contribute material mainly from MapServer as needed. cu Stephan On 05/21/2013 08:45 PM, Angelos Tzotsos wrote: Hi all, Sorry for my later reply. I agree with the suggested solution to split the workshop time, I don't see another way to do this.
