<P>Hi Everyone,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>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.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>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.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>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.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Thanks,</P>
<P>Brian</P>
