=== Sponsorship Options ===

This year we are being proactive and reaching out to companies and SMEs who may be interested in sponsoring OSGeoIE but who may, as yet, not be aware of the symposium or the activity of the OSGeo community in Ireland. The OSGeoIE symposium format is personal, informative and friendly. It will be '''a great opportunity for your company to showcase your products, connect with other experts and interact with potential talent for your recruitment needs'''. Our aim is to present a mix of both world class use of OSGeo, FOSS4G and other open source tools whilst showcasing Irish talent and expertise in this space.

OSGeoIE brings in professional users of OSGeo software and FOSS4G from academia, industry and local and national government. In the previous years we have had participants from almost all major Irish entities: Ordnance Survey, Environmental Protection Agency, Coillte and local councils and others. We also encourage third level students to attend and offer student ticket options.

Sponsorship (both packages) and a stall or booth (Gold package only) present an opportunity to connect directly with the delegates attending OSGeoIE 2019. The skill set of OSGeoIE delegates are rarely limited to GIS-related software and tools only. Many delegates are experienced researchers, scientists, policy makers, planners, software developers, etc. With the gold sponsorship package you will get two tickets to the conference and a dedicated booth in the event space. We believe that this a fantastic value for your investment. In both cases sponsorship of OSGeoIE 2019 provides opportunities to meet the Irish OSGeo community, publicise job openings and network.

There are two sponsorship packages available:

'''OSGeoIE 2019 Gold (€500):''' Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Specific mentions/shares on Twitter. Booth space at OSGeoIE 2019 to support demos, face-to-face meetings and distribution of promotional materials to delegates. 2 X OSGeoIE Tickets

'''OSGeoIE 2019 Silver (€250):''' Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Promotional material can be distributed from the registration desk. 1 X OSGeoIE Ticket

Interested in Sponsoring OSGeoIE 2019? Please feel free to contact any of us below with any questions or queries you may have. Direct questions can be emailed to peter DOT mooney AT mu.ie and hrishi AT hrishikeshballal DOT net

<big>Sponsorship Packages and Options</big>

This year we are being proactive and reaching out to companies and SMEs who may be interested in sponsoring OSGeoIE but who may, as yet, not be aware of the symposium or the activity of the OSGeo community in Ireland. The OSGeoIE symposium format is personal, informative and friendly. It will be '''a great opportunity for your company to showcase your products, connect with other experts and interact with potential talent for your recruitment needs'''. Our aim is to present a mix of both world class use of OSGeo, FOSS4G and other open source tools whilst showcasing Irish talent and expertise in this space.

OSGeoIE brings in professional users of OSGeo software and FOSS4G from academia, industry and local and national government. In the previous years we have had participants from almost all major Irish entities: Ordnance Survey, Environmental Protection Agency, Coillte and local councils and others. We also encourage third level students to attend and offer student ticket options.

Sponsorship (both packages) and a stall or booth (Gold package only) present an opportunity to connect directly with the delegates attending OSGeoIE 2019. The skill set of OSGeoIE delegates are rarely limited to GIS-related software and tools only. Many delegates are experienced researchers, scientists, policy makers, planners, software developers, etc. With the gold sponsorship package you will get two tickets to the conference and a dedicated booth in the event space. We believe that this a fantastic value for your investment. In both cases sponsorship of OSGeoIE 2019 provides opportunities to meet the Irish OSGeo community, publicise job openings and network.

There are two sponsorship packages available:

'''OSGeoIE 2019 Gold (€500):''' Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Specific mentions/shares on Twitter. Booth space at OSGeoIE 2019 to support demos, face-to-face meetings and distribution of promotional materials to delegates. 2 X OSGeoIE Tickets

'''OSGeoIE 2019 Silver (€250):''' Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Promotional material can be distributed from the registration desk. 1 X OSGeoIE Ticket

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux

* Location: Brussels, Belgium

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.

===== Welcome to the Second Irish OSGeo Symposium 2018 =====
[[File:ieosgeowiki.png]]

===Our Symposium===
The Irish Local Chapter of OSGeo are delighted to announce the hosting of the Second National Symposium in '''[https://www.midlandsparkhotel.com/ Portlaoise, Ireland] on Friday, 25th May 2018.''' We, the organisers, welcome all delegates to our second meeting as an OSGeo community in Ireland. Portlaoise is very centrally located in the midlands of Ireland. It is very well served by [https://getthere.ie/ frequent public transportation]. This symposium follows on from our [[Ireland/Symposium2017|very successful inaugural symposium]] last year in Limerick. The Midlands Park Hotel is very centrally located within Portlaoise town. It is less than 400m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.035659&n2=-7.302475&n3=17&a=53.036639,-7.301263,53.035059,-7.302099&b=2&c=0&g1=-1&g2=0&k1=en-US&k2=km the railway station] and just less than 500m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.034052&n2=-7.2999&n3=17&a=53.033033,-7.297744,53.035091,-7.302067&b=2&c=0&g1=-1&g2=0&k1=en-US&k2=km the main bus station/stop] in the town. The hotel and adjacent car-park [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.024713&n2=-7.301292&n3=15&a=53.014331,-7.303419,53.03502,-7.302046&b=0&c=0&k1=en-US&k2=km is less than 2 miles in driving distance] from the M7 motorway exit at the Midway Hotel.

'''The event is open to anyone.''' However it will be particular interest to individuals or groups such as: those with an interest in [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G FOSS4G], users of open source software and FOSS4G, geographers and geoscientists, computer scientists, software developers and programmers, software companies, open data users, data scientists, researchers, government agencies, SMEs, NGOs, students, citizens, etc.

The symposium will provide a relaxed and stimulating environment to learn about OSGeo, meet people with similar interest in OSGeo and FOSS4G, and learn new skills in the workshops. There are lots of people using OSGeo software and tools in Ireland and this symposium will allow them to meet and re-connect as a community.

The Symposium will feature a Keynote speech by a well known member of the OSGeo/FOSS4G community and a number of hands-on workshops in the afternoon.

'''Follow OSGeo IE on Twitter''' - we'll be using Twitter for the 2018 event. https://twitter.com/osgeoie

=== CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - Lightning Talks [CLOSED]===

In February 2018 we announced the official call for participation in this event.To accommodate as many presentations as possible whilst showcasing a wide and varied selection of FOSS4G and OSGeo usage and applications in Ireland the presentation format is structured as lightning talks. Lightning talks will be structured as follows. They are strictly limited to 7 minutes. Each speaker in the session delivers their presentation and the next speaker then takes over. Questions from the floor are taken at the end of the session. This format was very popular in our first event. We responded to delegate feedback from our 2017 event and expanded the number of lightning talk slots available.

The presentations, as outlined below, focus on the use of FOSS4G and OSGeo applications and software by large companies, SMEs, individuals, national and local government, academia (students, researchers, academics), volunteer communities, citizen scientists, etc who are based in Ireland.

=== EVENT REGISTRATION ===
Registration IS NOW OPEN. Registration (ticket purchase) is available on [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/osgeo-ireland-2nd-national-symposium-2018-tickets-42460715142 EventBrite] on [https://twitter.com/osgeoie Twitter], on the [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ireland/ OSGeo Ireland mailing list] and on the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/irish-osgeo-symposium-2018/ OSGeo Events page]. Early bird registration will be open until 30th April 2018 at the superb price of €45.00. After this the standard price registration of €60.00 will apply up to the day of the event.

FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint

2017-08-18T21:45:47Z

Wiki-Dmci:

== Code Sprint ==

Venue: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2017.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2017].
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 19th, 2017 at District Hall (http://www.districthallboston.org/).

Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

If you plan to attend, please signup in the table below so we have ample time for planning of snacks and drinks!

.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with over 200 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

===When ===
* Saturday August 19th 9AM - 5PM

=== Where===
* Venue & Accommodation: Boston District Hall. (For more information: http://www.districthallboston.org/) [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.35229/-71.04528| OpenStreetMap]]

'''Power connector:'''
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] . See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/

== Registered Attendees ==

The Code Sprint does not cost any money. For us it makes planning easier if we know who is coming. So please leave your Name.
