[geojquery] GeoJQuery posterpresentation at FOSS4G2010 in Barcelona

[Marc Jansen]

Hi list,

We have the chance to present a poster at this years FOSS4G in Barcelona 
about GeoJQuery.

I originally submitted a talk about the project (see below), which was 
rejected.

I am unable to create a poster by myself, but am willing to print, carry 
and present it (together with everyone from the project who is in 
Barcelona).

It would be great if someone would step up and create a poster about our 
ideas, different options and opinions etc. If you have wishes about the 
content of the poster, please express them here. I think we shouldn't 
miss this opportunity, even a simple poster would help pushing the project.

The poster has to have a maximum size of DIN A0, and the best format for 
me to print it out is PDF.

Best regards,
Marc

Title:
Do we need another wrapper around OpenLayers? Ideas, hopes and thoughts 
about a possible GeoJQuery-library

Abstract:
At last years FOSS4G in Sydney, Australia – and continued during German 
and Spanish local chapter conferences – the idea of combining the great 
JavaScript-libraries OpenLayers and jQuery under the hood of the OSGEO 
was born and bread by various interested parties.
OpenLayers (http://openlayers.org) is possibly the most widely used open 
source library both for displaying and interacting with geographic data 
of different origins in the web. John Resigs jQuery (http://jquery.com) 
is currently used on millions of webpages for the development of 
up-to-date – yet easy to create, maintain and enhance – 
JavaScript-powered sites. Its plugin-approach is outstanding.
The idea of combining OpenLayers with a full-featured general-purpose 
library isn't new at all: the OSGEO project GeoExt (http://geoext.org) 
shows the power of the union of OpenLayers and ExtJS 
(http://www.extjs.com) to build a great tool for developing drop-dead 
gorgeous and complex geospatial web applications very well. Is there the 
need for another wrapper around the API of OpenLayers? Can we get 
spatial without hassle on even more sites? Do we want to rebuild GeoExt 
using jQuery? No, we don't: we want to discuss ideas, hopes and 
(sometimes diverging) thoughts about how to combine great open source 
tools to get something new: GeoJQuery (http://geojquery.org).
We see a huge potential in combining great code from different open 
source projects and are interested in your opinion – discuss with us the 
(soon-to-come) capabilities of GeoJQuery!
