[OSGeo-Discuss] W3C/OGC Joint Workshop Series on Maps for the Web

[Tom Kralidis]

(apologies for cross-posting)

Hi all: I hope everyone is doing well during these times.

FYI there will be a joint virtual W3C/OGC workshop on web mapping in
September 2020 [1][2].

This workshop series brings together experts in geographic standards
and Web map data
services, Web mapping client tools and applications, and Web platform
standards and browser
development, to explore the potential of maps for the Web.

It would be great to have a strong OSGeo/FOSS4G presence from our
fabulous projects. Given
the obvious synergies and web mapping based projects in our community,
this is a great
opportunity to showcase our projects and participate in discussions
with W3C/OGC on 'mapping'
out the future of maps for the Web.  Presentations, hack sessions and
position statements are
various ways of participating [3].

Note that the registration deadline has been extended to 15 July 2020.
Hoping to see some of
our projects at this exciting event!

Thanks

..Tom (part of the workshop program committee)
