<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Landon,<br>
<br>
while reading your list some tpics come to my mind which might be
of interest to the audience additionally:<br>
- Big Data in GIS<br>
- adding temporal dimensions to Coordinate Reference Systems<br>
(yes, it's supposed to be plural!)<br>
- Open standards in GIS - still relevant?<br>
<br>
my 2 cents,<br>

<div>The committee that organizes the Annual California Land
Surveyors Association (CLSA) Conference is interested in
having a half day or full day event on open source GIS at the
2014 Conference. They've asked me to put together some
information about our event schedule and the speakers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've put up a preliminary event schedule based on a full
day event with two tracks here:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CLSA_2014_Conference_OSGeo_Open_Source_GIS_Track"
target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CLSA_2014_Conference_OSGeo_Open_Source_GIS_Track</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've left several open slots. Here are some sample topics
that could be plugged into those open slots:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Python scripting with QGIS.</div>
<div>- The business case for GIS.</div>
<div>
- Linear referencing in GIS.</div>
<div>- Introduction to QGIS.</div>
<div>- GIS database concepts with PostGIS.<br>
</div>
<div>- Remote sensing with ballons or low cost drones.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Other topics might also be acceptable. I'd like to keep the
GIS concepts and GIS software parts of the event very simple
and easy for beginners. This will have greater appeal for most
land surveyors.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The last part of the event on GIS programming can be geared
towards more experienced GIS users.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Let me know if you'd be willing to come out to Reno in the
spring to give a talk. I'll get the conference registration
waived. (I've got three speakers from our local chapter, but I
could use a couple more.)<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks.<br>
<br>
Landon<br>
