Dear All,
I recently received this message, and was curious is anyone is already
involved or planning to be? I am based out of SF, and would be willing
to help from a distance.
Best,
Sarah

Subject: Re: [Foss4g2009-private] Summary time!
Hi all,
They guys at OSM & CloudMade should be interested in a Mapping Party
as well as a tutorial to the latest tools coming out of CloudMade
during FOSS4G2009 - they are doing impressive stuff:
http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects
Just note that mapping party is meant to be open to all - an informal
get together (with pre-registered interest) before or during the
conference and is not strictly a workshop tutorial.
I think the best approach for the mapping party is to email the Sarah
Manley who can help publicize the event and (I think) help organise
the logistics to some extent. I've cc'd Sarah - hope I'm not being
presumptuous o_O

Mark, do we have an OpenStreetMap submission?
I'm hopeful that they take a tutorial slot, which would take them
outside
walking around the streets.
Has someone checked against the program for 2007, 2008 workshops
and labs to
determine whether there are other areas not covered? It would be
good to
send a letter to these presenters saying something like:
"We notice that your project was represented at the 2008
conference. Will
you, or someone else from your project be presenting a workshop at
FOSS4G
2009?
Details are ..."

I didn't want to interrupt the fervour, but I'll fire out a quick
summary
now.
So far we've got:
10 Workshops
2 PostGIS-ish
2 MapServer
1 MapFish
1 OS Business
1 GeoExt
1 SEXTANTE
1 OpenLayers
1 GeoNetwork
5 Tutorials
1 MapFish
1 GeoExt
1 Community Schemas
1 ILWIS
1 Security Layer
So there are two things that are not well represented here, desktop
clients and tutorials. Word has it that there's a uDig workshop
coming down
the pipe. Jeff is chasing GRASS and QGIS, Simon is after MapGuide
and FDO.
Jody is prodding away for an OpenJUMP presenter. degree and
GeoServer are
currently MIA.
What we really need are some clever use-casey tutorials that will
show a
single blob of functionality. The complex features Rob is
offering is a
good example, or the security layer by 52N. Something that builds
upon
general knowledge. Any thoughts?

Mark,
Tomorrow, Tuesday, can you please send a list of workshops
and
tutorials that have been submitted, or are planned to be
submitted.
I expect we'd then be able to identify gaps, and chase
specific
people of groups for a workshop.
If there are specific workshops that didn't go as well
previously, it would be good to note those now, so that we
don't
chase them.
I see big gaps here:
- no GRASS workshop submissions
- no QGIS workshop submissions
- no GeoServer workshop submissions
- no MapGuide Open Source workshop submissions
(I usually have to chase after the GRASS and QGIS community
every
year for submissions, and I'll do the same this year)
