Hi all,

Just a wee bit of clarification. the session proposals are due May 15th.
The workshops are handled slightly differently and organized by a workshop
committee.  The workshop chairperson this year is Jesse Adams and you can
reach him at:  jesse at jsagiservices.com

I understand that they are having a real hard time this year getting any
computer labs in Duluth, so any "bring your own laptop" suggestions would
likely be welcome.  You might want to propose both a beginning and advanced
option.  There are always folks just starting out and others looking for
more complex instruction.  

As you likely know we recruited a couple folks this spring to do some OS
mapping workshops and they are selling pretty well. 

Sally

All, 

 

Hmmm, it seems like there are quite a few GeoMoose things people are
interested in getting and giving as far as training.   Does it make any
sense to have some sort of coordination meeting for all this stuff and apply
a united front for the GIS/LIS presentations?

Hello,

I am doing a 1/2 day "Intro to QGIS" for the Spring Workshops in a few
weeks.  If that goes over well that I'd like to do it again in fall, with a
bit more advance topics.  It would be neat to have an exercise on exporting
to MapServer, with the idea that folks can then learn how to "make it go" by
attending the GeoMoose workshop.  I could also touch on PostGIS which might
relate to another such workshop.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone, 

  

The GeoMOOSE group has been talking about submitting a proposal this year
for a Beginner and Advance workshops.  We are curious if anyone else is
planning to do a workshop on OSGeo projects?  Here is what we are thinking
for two separate half day workshops.  Please feel free to give us some
feedback.  I think the proposals are due next Friday. 

  

1) Beginners... I want it to run in MS4W, I want to tweak the CSS to make
the site my own, and I want to add/edit data and use the built in services.
Mention PostGIS/QGIS. If we have a mapfile/mapbook editor/data loader by
this time we should definitely show that... however, that looks like it's
been pushed to 3.0. Of course there is nothing saying we won't have 3.0 out
by then. 

  

2) Experts.... I saw this last year and have been using it in production. I
want to write services, I want to contribute to the code/docs, What's this
OpenLayers stuff inside and how can i leverage that. I want to do cool stuff
with PostGIS + custom services. Possibly a discussion w/the audience of what
people are doing and what worked and what didn't. (Hey they are experts,
they may know something we don't.) We could do a mini code sprint too...
bring in your problems, and vote in the first 30 minutes... then code for
the rest. 

  

Thanks, 

Brian
