> Hello everyone,

> Title: Web Mapping Performance Shoot-out
> ----------------------------------------
> 
> Abstract
> --------
> 
> This is the latest installment in an annual series of benchmarks and 
> presentations that pit Open Source and other Web mapping servers against 
> one another in a suite of performance tests. The presentation seeks to 
> find out the optimal software configurations and to compare the 
> performance in different real world use cases, which might include 
> handling large datasets, Open Street Map (OSM) rendering, and attribute 
> labeling. At the minimum, MapServer, GeoServer, and MapNik will be 
> compared, as well as different back-end data sources, such as PostGIS 
> and Shapefiles. [Other Web mapping servers may also be added to the 
> exercise, pending participation by their community members]
> 
> Presenters: Andrea Aime and Jeff McKenna

> Andrea, are you willing to do the presentation with me again?  If so I 
> can submit this abstract.

I'm game, go ahead :-)

Cheers
Andrea
