> source geospatial. Where do things work well? Poorly? What problems did you
> solve, and at what cost? What do you recommend for others? Why?
> Benchmarks: Comparisons between pieces of geospatial software. How do
> features compare? Speed? Ease of use? What do you recommend for others?
> Visualization: Tell about your tips and tricks for effective visualization.
> How do you present information in a compelling way? 3D? Cartographic tricks?
> Labelling and naming ideas? Graphs and hybrid map/data combinations?
> Development: What are the new developments in your open source geospatial
> software product? How does it work, how do people use it, what are the
> technical issues you are running into?
> Hacks and Mashing: Have you put together something novel or cool this year?
> What did you stick together, how did it work, show us your gizmo!
> Collaboration: What techniques are you using to improve collaboration
> between organizations and between individuals. Public geodata, collaborative
> data collection, data sharing, open standards, de facto standards, and more!
