[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source GIS & WebMapping workshop- AGILE 2012

[Suchith Anand]

On behalf of the ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies,  I am happy to announce the  "Open Source GIS & WebMapping" workshop on 24th April 2012 at 15th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science, Avignon, France. The workshop is organised and run by Barend Köbben (Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, ITC  University of Twente, Netherlands).

The workshop will start with a short introduction of Open Source GIS and webmapping technology, followed by practicals. Participants are asked to bring their laptops, we will provide the theory, the software and guidance. We have a set of exercises that guide the participants in setting up a webmapping site using OpenStreetMap data, adding their own data using the desktop QGIS application, serving that data as a Web Map Service and finally bringing it all together on a interactive "slippy map" website using OpenLayers.
