A PostGIS workshop would be great. It might pull in some people that<br>
don't necessarily come to the conference - good workshops do that.<br>
Looking forward to Jessica's spring workshop (presuming I can scrape up<br>
time and dough).<br>

Data. Learning the spatial SQL functions and how to import/export<br>
various forms of data can be time consuming in itself, not to mention<br>
configuring the server and such. FOSS4G offers workshops of this sort.<br>
Of course there can be a hook for MapServer/GeoMoose/QGIS etc. I was<br>
just agreeing with David, I think PostGIS merits something that stands<br>
alone.<br>

It does beg the question of 'what do you want to show'?<br>
<br>
IMO, postgis can be used as an arcinfo replacement if you care to use<br>
SQL instead of ourageous proprietary junk.<br>

I really like the idea of a non-mapcentric PostGIS workshop, but wonder<br>
if it wouldn't be "visual" enough for the GIS/LIS crowd.<br>

I was thinking of doing a straight up PostGIS workshop but hadn't gotten<br>
past the "I was thinking about" stage.<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The GeoMOOSE group has been talking about submitting a proposal this<br>
year for a Beginner and Advance workshops. We are curious if anyone<br>
else is planning to do a workshop on OSGeo projects? Here is what we<br>
are thinking for two separate half day workshops. Please feel free to<br>
give us some feedback. I think the proposals are due next Friday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Beginners... I want it to run in MS4W, I want to tweak the CSS to<br>
make the site my own, and I want to add/edit data and use the built in<br>
services. Mention PostGIS/QGIS. If we have a mapfile/mapbook editor/data<br>
loader by this time we should definitely show that... however, that<br>
looks like it's been pushed to 3.0. Of course there is nothing saying we<br>
won't have 3.0 out by then.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2) Experts.... I saw this last year and have been using it in<br>
production. I want to write services, I want to contribute to the<br>
code/docs, What's this OpenLayers stuff inside and how can i leverage<br>
that. I want to do cool stuff with PostGIS + custom services. Possibly a<br>
discussion w/the audience of what people are doing and what worked and<br>
what didn't. (Hey they are experts, they may know something we don't.)<br>
We could do a mini code sprint too... bring in your problems, and vote<br>
in the first 30 minutes... then code for the rest.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Brian<br>
