Hi Christian, <br>
<br>
you are welcome to design the poster as you wish, but if I shall print
it, I have to have it until Friday morning... otherwise we maybe can
print it in Barcelona.<br>
<br>
Go for it!<br><font color="#888888">

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>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

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>
