[FOSS4G-Oceania] Call for workshops winding up

Mon Jul 30 01:10:01 PDT 2018

+1 on joining workshops,  possibly structured as part A beginner,  and part B advanced,  with options to attend a part and mix/match.
Re storrytelling - please teach me how to make something like shipmap.org in foss :)

Yep, https://www.mapbox.com/labs/wirrida/index.html<https://www.mapbox.com/labs/wirrida/index.html> is built entirely with open source tools :)

I think there's going to be a bit of overlap with these last minute workshop submissions, hopefully the selection process can be a bit flexible giving similar/related submissions the option (if that's what the presenters want) to join together or share a 3.5 hour session into different parts.

@Ed, yeah, basically ‘using revealJS and leafletJS for storytelling with live maps’.

@Sarah, I really thought your tutorial was great! So it could also be revealJS + mapbox

@Andrew - spot on. With open source tools.

Hmm. I reckon I should step back, you all *know* what you’re doing, I’d be bringing a butterknife to your chainsaws in a woodcutting competition.

Also happy to work on something too.
Perhaps in combo with my other thought for a mapbox workshop / JS libraries? (Which I haven't submitted yet. Busy today!)

Actually I was thinking on creating something like this (the demo below) at work with mapbox anyway so could go hand in hand with building some tutorial / workshop prep.

I'm happy to help out with something like that based on Mapbox GL JS (here's a good demo of it https://www.mapbox.com/labs/wirrida/index.html<https://www.mapbox.com/labs/wirrida/index.html>), but it's maybe a 30min workshop with geojson.io<http://geojson.io> to create the data, then code up the map.

Should we submit it anyway or try to fit it into an existing workshop?

Interesting point. At F4G boston I went to an Azavea workshop which used open source (free as in pay nothing) tooling; but called to Azavea’s image analysis API (raster foundry?). It worked great, and the tools were useful even without using the paid-for data parts. We had temporary licenses for the day.

I also went to a GBDX workshop (sponsored content) - which again provided some insight which is useful beyond paying for GBDX.

There’s a mix there, I think the key is that if you propose a workshop using a tool people need to pay for, provide them a license for the day; and give skills which are also useful if you take the tool away.

(and one last hustle - anyone wanna co-propose an open storymap workshop?)

My point is simply it's a joint FOSS4G and State of the Map, and the OpenStreetMap talks, workshops, community day shouldn't need to be strictly free and open source (of course, it's nicer if they are, but I and other people coming from the SotM side are likely still interested in hearing about commercial and proprietary things which are happening with OSM).

We are not only OS – we are also FREE. So maybe the tools are free to use?

Good point Andrew!

My take on it is that the primary message of the workshop/presentation would hopefully focus on geospatial open source/open data, OSM etc. But, if it contains content related to proprietary software that should be OK. I have definitely been thinking there would be an audience for 'hybrid' solutions, possibly even could be a focused session on day 2 for OZRI attendees to check out (another conversation for later?).

I'd certainly be in favour of observing the 'open minds' philosophy when we do our selections.
