There was an email to the WMS Shootout benchmarking list today suggesting that they should start putting together tests soon if they are going to get presentations put together in time for foss4g.<br>
<br>
I'm interested to know what comparative presentations have already been identified to be presented at foss4g, and which will go through the competitive selection process.<br>
<br>
My reasoning is that as soon as a comparative presentation has been selected, we are in a position to lobby people to help create the presentation.<br>
<br>
Am I right in understanding that the Organising Committee have already committed to a LiveDVD overview during the plenary session? Note, I think that we should only dedicate 60 minutes to this overview instead of 90 minutes. I would like to make it even shorter (maybe 45 mins), although I'm not sure if that will be possible. I'd like to keep the presentation very high level, and leave details to other presentations (like the technology comparison presentations).<br>
<br>
Also of note, it will be difficult to squeeze some of the comparative presentations in 30 minutes. The FOSS4G 2009 WMS shootout lasted 47 mins. The WMS Shootout made part of the final plenary session, and if the other comparative projects are ranked highly enough by the community, you may consider making them plenary sessions too. (I realise this will be a difficult decision, as one plenary session removes 6 streamed sessions.)<br>
