"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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us">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><br><br>Application
