[pygeoapi] Fwd: The 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Data Access and Processing APIs (SpatialAPI 2020)

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi all: FYI as a certified OGC Compliant product, pygeoapi has been
invited to submit a proposal
to deliver an online tutorial at the SpatialAPI 2020 workshop below.

We have discussed offering up a workshop in the past [1].  I think
this is a great opportunity for the project
to deliver a tutorial at the workshop which can be reused over time at
future events, but it would require
a team effort to prepare and deliver.

Any interest?

Thanks

..Tom

Call For Presentations - The 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop
on Geospatial Data Access and Processing APIs (SpatialAPI 2020)

https://sites.google.com/ucr.edu/spatialapi20


We are pleased to announce the 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International
Workshop on Geospatial Data Access and Processing APIs (SpatialAPI
2020). The goal of this workshop is to provide students and
researchers with hands-on experience with useful APIs such as web APIs
or library APIs related to spatial data processing. At the same time,
it gives an opportunity for API providers to reach out to a targeted
audience that can use their APIs. This will be an excellent
opportunity for participants to discover available APIs and for
providers to receive direct feedback from their users.

The workshop is calling for tutorial proposals from the community.
Accepted tutorials will have two 45-minute sessions to conduct their
hands-on tutorial. In addition, each presenter will have the
opportunity to give a teaser presentation of 5 minutes to attract the
audience to attend their tutorial. Interested participants should
submit a tutorial proposal that contains the following:
* Title of the system or API that will be presented.
* Web URL with information about the current API, e.g., project home page.
* Short description of what the API covers.
* Detailed description of which functionality or parts of the APIs
that the proposed tutorial will cover.
* Tentative 90-minute tutorial plan.
* List of any additional material or prerequisites that you expect the
tutorial attendees to have. You can assume that all attendees will
have at least a laptop with Internet access and power plug. Any
additional requirements such as software, OS, libraries, or datasets,
should be listed.

This year, to accommodate remote participation, we ask every accepted
tutorial to include a GitHub (or similar) repository that contains
self-explanatory instructions on how to follow the tutorial. This
includes any prerequisite materials and downloads, source code, test
datasets, and sample output of all steps that will run. This will
facilitate a smooth tutorial to the speaker and the audience.

Our target audience mainly includes undergraduate and graduate
students from different disciplines, and also some professors, and
professionals from industry. Please make sure that your tutorial will
address the audience with the right level of breadth and depth.

Proposals can be submitted to the following submission page.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spatialapi20

The proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs and advisory committee.

Important dates

Submission deadline: August, 31st, 2020
Notification deadline: September, 15th, 2020
Workshop day: November, 3rd, 2020
