>>> Personally I'd like to see some beginner talks/practicals on open raster data (and satellite data in particular) moving on to more advanced topics as the day progresses e.g. data dissemination, infrastructure etc. A mix of practitioners and developers would be really useful, along with a mix of use-cases and software development in the talks and demos. For instance, there are a load of Python libraries etc that have been developed for raster processing and it would be great to have some of those discussed in detail.
