[DotNet-OSGeo] RE: Regarding MapWindow/OSGeo DotNet 2011

[Michael P. Gerlek]

I'm interested in doing a workshop that would be a deep-dive into an advanced C#/.NET topic, using geo or the DotSpatial code itself as my working examples.

Some of the possible topics I could do include:
  - a critical look at the framework design guidelines: StyleCop, FxCop, and friends, plus "How (and Why) to Implement Dispose" :-)
  - a tour of the support for parallelism in .NET 4
  - a nature walk through the various collections classes, including the obscure ones you thought you didn't need to know about
  - WPF for geo folks: drawing vectors, drawing rasters manually and efficiently, ...
  - Windows Phone 7 for geo folks: showing bing maps and OSM maps, using the gps, geo routing services, ...
- what's in an assembly, including signing and versions, and how to generate your own IL on the fly for really fast reprojections

Would any of these ideas be considered in scope?  Would any of you be willing to attend one of these? (and if so, which one?)

Subject: Regarding MapWindow/OSGeo DotNet 2011


Hi all,

We've finally been able to lock in a hotel and a meeting date for a MapWindow/OSGeo DotNet 2011 Conference in San Diego.

All the relevant information is posted here: http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2011.

It turned out that a major leukemia meeting had booked most of the space in San Diego earlier in June, so I had to move our meeting back by one week to June 13-15, 2011.

I hope that many/all of you will be able to come to San Diego next summer and join us for this in-person get together of the MapWindow and OSGeo DotNet developer and user community.

I'll be sending out a formal "call for abstracts" for workshops, papers and posters later this week.

Note that we are doing workshops differently this year - instead of me proposing workshops and finding presenters, I am hoping that many (at least 12) of you will propose workshops that you can deliver. Of course workshop presenters will get a free conference registration...

Thanks in advance for taking a look at the conference web site.

- Dan

(P.S., I'll be looking for volunteers to help with sorting through abstracts and making the conference program in January...)
