><br>
> The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference<br>
> is pleased to announce a Call for Workshops and Tutorials for the 2010<br>
> conference, being held September 6-9, 2010, in Barcelona, Spain.<br>
><br>
> FOSS4G is the international "gathering of tribes" for open source<br>
> geospatial communities. Users and developers are encouraged to present<br>
> their latest projects and software to demonstrate the power of Open<br>
> Source for system integration through a series of workshop sessions<br>
> and tutorial presentations. Session participants should expect to see<br>
> presentations on both geospatial open source and propriety software<br>
> integration along with pure open source solutions.<br>
><br>
><br>
> Workshops<br>
> ----------------<br>
><br>
> Workshops are expected to be 3 hour hands-on experiences with<br>
> participants following along with the instructor, working directly<br>
> with the application under discussion. All workshop rooms will be<br>
> equipped with computers to support this vision. A projector will be<br>
> provided for each computer room for use within a workshop. Instructors<br>
> will need to discuss pre-installation requirements with the Conference<br>
> Organising Committee if required.<br>
><br>
> Workshops are expected to require considerable effort to create, with<br>
> past experience showing that three days of preparation per hour of<br>
> presentation are required to produce a high quality workshop.<br>
> Additionally you will be expected to develop material for attendees to<br>
> take home with them, such as handouts, workbook, CD-ROMs, etc. Due to<br>
> the effort involved in producing and presenting a workshop,<br>
> instructors will receive a single complementary registration to the<br>
> conference for delivering a workshop.<br>
><br>
> All workshop submissions will be considered, but particular interest<br>
> will be shown in:<br>
><br>
> * Practical Introduction to FOSS4G software<br>
> * Integrating Open Source<br>
> * Spatial Data Infrastructure<br>
><br>
><br>
> Tutorials<br>
> ------------<br>
><br>
> Tutorials are 90 minute sessions during the regular presentations<br>
> portion of the conference. Tutorial rooms will not be equipped with<br>
> computers. However, presenters may make use of delegate laptops and<br>
> the FOSS4G LiveDVD.<br>
><br>
> Preference will be given to hands-on tutorials.<br>
><br>
> Any hands-on aspects to a tutorial will be the responsibility of the<br>
> presenter and needs to be described in the tutorial description.<br>
> Presenters making use of the LiveDVD will be expected to contribute to<br>
> testing pre-releases to ensure material and software is properly<br>
> installed. To discuss your requirements for LiveDVD, please contact<br>
> the LiveDVD community:<br>
> <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us</a>.<br>
><br>
> All tutorial submissions will be considered, but particular interest<br>
> will be shown in the following topics:<br>
><br>
> * Practical Introductions<br>
> * Interoperability<br>
> * Integration<br>
> * Performance tuning<br>
> * SDI services<br>
> * Mobile/phone applications<br>

> FOSS4G 2010 Highlights<br>
> ------------------------------------<br>
><br>
> Workshops and Tutorials: Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to<br>
> lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other<br>
> topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours)<br>
> will be held in computer rooms on September 6 (afternoon session) and<br>
> 7 (morning session). Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard<br>
> presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations on 7-9<br>
> September.<br>
><br>
> Presentations: The meat of the conference are it's presentations.<br>
> Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international<br>
> experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics<br>
> in the industry today.<br>
><br>
> Academic Track: The academic sessions, with paper publications and<br>
> poster presentations, aims at bringing together researchers,<br>
> developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and<br>
> development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and<br>
> willing to share original and recent research developments and<br>
> experiences. The academic track will act as an inventory of current<br>
> research topics, with the main objective of promoting cooperative<br>
> research between OSGeo developers and the academia.<br>
><br>
> FOSS4G Live DVD: LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and<br>
> including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all<br>
> delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the<br>
> software without installing or effecting the existing system.<br>
> <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc</a><br>
><br>
> Installfest: The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to<br>
> meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on<br>
> their laptops, netbooks or any other system they care to bring in.<br>
> Community members will assist with any troubles and provide help and<br>
> insight into the software.<br>
><br>
> Birds of a Feather: Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised<br>
> meetings between like minded groups. Some prominent community<br>
> initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.<br>
><br>
> Code Sprint: The day after the conference is reserved for the Hackers'<br>
> Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of<br>
> bandwidth, plugs and coffee. :)<br>
