[mapserver-dev] Abstract(s) for Portland FOSS4G

Tue Apr 15 07:31:03 PDT 2014

I was thinking just one slide or a graphic in Prezi... the 20th is just another milestone to mention and then transition quickly into the present. The title Jeff mentioned would be more appropriate for a separate talk I think.

Great idea about celebrating the 20th anniversary, especially if/when you (SteveL) are around.

However let's keep in mind that users still need a presentation that goes over the recent additions to the software. They actually do attend it to find out what's new.

So either the 20th anniversary is just a mention (one slide) in the more traditional overview of what's new, or we go for two separate talks?

BTW, I gave a "MapServer History" talk at FOSSGIS a few weeks ago highlighting some key milestones of MapServer's history and the "pre-history" that led to it, it could be used as a starting point for a separate talk, there is easily enough to talk about in 20 years of history to fill 20 minutes. I was actually wondering if I should submit it for Portland, so if other project members are game to join then I'd be happy to submit it.

My slides:
