[TCMUG] MN GIS/LIS Conference

[Fawcett, David]

I think that it would be great if you did a PostGIS workshop!  I think
that there is a lot of interest in PostGIS out there, and I think that
you would be a great person to do it.

	I was thinking of doing a straight up PostGIS workshop but
hadn't gotten past the "I was thinking about" stage.

		Hi Everyone,

		 

		The GeoMOOSE group has been talking about submitting a
proposal this year for a Beginner and Advance workshops.  We are curious
if anyone else is planning to do a workshop on OSGeo projects?  Here is
what we are thinking for two separate half day workshops.  Please feel
free to give us some feedback.  I think the proposals are due next
Friday.

		 

		1) Beginners... I want it to run in MS4W, I want to
tweak the CSS to make the site my own, and I want to add/edit data and
use the built in services. Mention PostGIS/QGIS. If we have a
mapfile/mapbook editor/data loader by this time we should definitely
show that... however, that looks like it's been pushed to 3.0. Of course
there is nothing saying we won't have 3.0 out by then.

		 

		2) Experts.... I saw this last year and have been using
it in production. I want to write services, I want to contribute to the
code/docs, What's this OpenLayers stuff inside and how can i leverage
that. I want to do cool stuff with PostGIS + custom services. Possibly a
discussion w/the audience of what people are doing and what worked and
what didn't. (Hey they are experts, they may know something we don't.)
We could do a mini code sprint too... bring in your problems, and vote
in the first 30 minutes... then code for the rest.

		 

		Thanks,

		Brian
