[Shoaib Burq]

Neat! I just made a test proposal submission. It was very smooth and
is looking good!

> Folks,
> I have made a series of changes to the current site which can be viewed
> here:
> http://www.mapbutcher.com/foss4g2009/
>
> Note there is a new left hand menu option: Programme with the following sub
> menu items:
>
> Conference Schedule
> Speakers
> Presentations
> Workshops
> Tutorials
> Posters
> CCIP
> Events & Activities
> Submission Guidelines
>
> I have added what content I can at this stage - the main focus has been
> around the Submission Guidelines and Workshop pages. The Submission
> Guidelines page contains guidance and links to our OCS instance which I have
> set up. I can't make the scheduled meeting this week because of
> work commitments - perhaps the following can be added to the agenda?
>
> Do we want to provide Author Guidelines?
> Time can you supply some blurb for the speaker page?
> Could someone provide a description of the tutorial format so we can add
> this to the tutorial page?
> When should we open call for tutorial submissions?
> Anybody want to add content for the poster page - Jody do you have
> experience from previous years?
> When should we open call for poster submissions - what is the format of the
> submission?
> Cameron are you happy with the CCIP page - any more input?
> Events and activities - if we're happy with Shelbourne shall we add this as
> the 'welcome reception drinks'?
> Submission Acknowledgement email - Cameron within OCS we can configure the
> submission acknowledgement email - could you scratch something together?
> Presentation Themes - are we going to have a set of suggested themes?
>
> Can all OC members please create an account in OCS if they do not already
> have one - and I will add them into the organising team page within the OCS
> instance + I'd like us to test the submission process to iron out issues
> before 2nd Feb.

> In relation to workshops:

> "Scanning through the docs, I don't see any plan as to how we will be
> accepting submissions.  I would expect setting up a word-doc or pdf template
> and getting people to just email them in is fine, there shouldn't be an
> unwieldy volume.  Unfortunately, since the workshop pages of previous
> conferences seem to get retasked with descriptions of the selected
> workshops, I don't actually have previous instructions or templates.  Can
> anybody direct me to some?"
> Are you happy for us to push the submissions through OCS - can you give it a
> whirl - do we need to make changes etc?
> Mark - If you create an OCS account I'll add you as 'track director' for the
> workshops
> Mark - should we add in a blurb about the workshop submissions into the
> track policy on the OCS
> instance?: http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g2009/sydney/schedConf/trackPolicies
