Hello,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
