<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>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></P>
