[OSGeo Africa] FW: [OSGeo-Discuss] Call for workshops for the Third annual GeoNetwork workshop

[Gavin Fleming]

Dear Colleagues,

 

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has the pleasure to inform
you that the GeoNetwork opensource third annual workshop will be held
from 5 to 9 November 2007 at FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy.

 

This year we hope to welcome 80-100 participants from several UN
Agencies as well as from the GeoNetwork opensource community.

 

During the week we have time slots scheduled for half-day to one-day
technical sessions on Open Source Web-Mapping and Desktop GIS
Applications. We strongly encourage workshop submissions on
interoperability and spatial data infrastructures based. Workshops from
(OSGeo) Free and Open Source Software projects will receive preference
in the selection process.

 

Each session should consist of a brief presentation of the software's
functionality as well as a practical hands-on part targeted to GIS
professionals.

 

If you are interested in presenting your project in a technical session
at the workshop, please provide us with a short session proposal until
19 September.  

 

The workshops will be free for participants and workshop presenters. 

 

We look forward to seeing you in Rome as a workshop presenter.

 

Greetings,

 

Jeroen Ticheler

Patrizia Monteduro

Martin Seiler
