Hi Marc,<br><br>I can probably manage to make one Friday, but can't promise for sure as I am busy preparing for my vacation, too.<br>Probably some text on what, why and how plus all information to join up the party.<br>

Hi list,<br>
<br>
We have the chance to present a poster at this years FOSS4G in Barcelona about GeoJQuery.<br>
<br>
I originally submitted a talk about the project (see below), which was rejected.<br>
<br>
I am unable to create a poster by myself, but am willing to print, carry and present it (together with everyone from the project who is in Barcelona).<br>
<br>
It would be great if someone would step up and create a poster about our ideas, different options and opinions etc. If you have wishes about the content of the poster, please express them here. I think we shouldn't miss this opportunity, even a simple poster would help pushing the project.<br>
<br>
The poster has to have a maximum size of DIN A0, and the best format for me to print it out is PDF.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Marc<br>

Title:<br>
Do we need another wrapper around OpenLayers? Ideas, hopes and thoughts about a possible GeoJQuery-library<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
At last years FOSS4G in Sydney, Australia – and continued during German and Spanish local chapter conferences – the idea of combining the great JavaScript-libraries OpenLayers and jQuery under the hood of the OSGEO was born and bread by various interested parties.<br>
OpenLayers (<a href="http://openlayers.org" target="_blank">http://openlayers.org</a>) is possibly the most widely used open source library both for displaying and interacting with geographic data of different origins in the web. John Resigs jQuery (<a href="http://jquery.com" target="_blank">http://jquery.com</a>) is currently used on millions of webpages for the development of up-to-date – yet easy to create, maintain and enhance – JavaScript-powered sites. Its plugin-approach is outstanding.<br>
The idea of combining OpenLayers with a full-featured general-purpose library isn't new at all: the OSGEO project GeoExt (<a href="http://geoext.org" target="_blank">http://geoext.org</a>) shows the power of the union of OpenLayers and ExtJS (<a href="http://www.extjs.com" target="_blank">http://www.extjs.com</a>) to build a great tool for developing drop-dead gorgeous and complex geospatial web applications very well. Is there the need for another wrapper around the API of OpenLayers? Can we get spatial without hassle on even more sites? Do we want to rebuild GeoExt using jQuery? No, we don't: we want to discuss ideas, hopes and (sometimes diverging) thoughts about how to combine great open source tools to get something new: GeoJQuery (<a href="http://geojquery.org" target="_blank">http://geojquery.org</a>).<br>
We see a huge potential in combining great code from different open source projects and are interested in your opinion – discuss with us the (soon-to-come) capabilities of GeoJQuery!<br>
