* [[User:Glennon|AlanGlennon]] would prefer not to take the Thursday/Friday 8-10AM shifts, but will do so if no one else is available.
* Conference Schedule: https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/
* Session Schedule: https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/

== Equipment ==

''as travel with equipment is difficult, best scenario is these are provided by U.S.A. local chapters...''

Possible needs:
banner?
laptops/monitors?
table? drape? chairs?
wired internet?

* Volunteers should bring their own laptop if possible. Maybe have a larger desktop monitor there too. Or projector?
* '''Banners?'''
** PDX-OSGeo will provide our popup banner and table runner
** PDX-OSGeo will provide two laptops runnint OSGeo-Live
** I'll bring the GRASS and PostGIS In Action books. Other books could be helpful as well (i.e. QGIS, OpenLayers, GeoServer, etc)
** Have requested that CUGOS and California Chapters bring their popup banners and other materials as well

== Handouts ==
* The LOC can print some materials in limited numbers if asked in advance. In the past, we've used a small number of print materials for reference as opposed to handouts. We've used the things in [http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/ marketing svn]. Which materials do people want at the booth?

== Presentations ==
What kinds of live demonstrations or recorded examples can be played at the booth? Where can they be downloaded from or who can run them?
* If there are multiple booth volunteers, therefore multiple laptops, might simplify by having canned demos/videos, manual demos, and associated data living on a server somewhere.
* OSGeo Live - USB will be distributed from the OSGeo booth (300 are ordered), so either boot from media or run in a Virtual Machine.

=== Self-Running ===
'''Review in case of updates or additions'''

* ''place visible links to slides or videos here''
* OSGeo Live overview [http://osgeo.github.io/OSGeoLive-presentation/#/ presentation]

== Other Considerations ==

* Good reading: Running [http://fromtheinsidelookingin.blogspot.com/2008/10/conference-booths.html Conference Booths]

__FORCETOC__

= Introduction =

OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.

= Past OSGeo Advocates =
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.

= Understanding OSGeo roles =

Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:

====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====
: We only have 8 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.

====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.

====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or Regional Chapter, or as a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).

====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.
oovida
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.

====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.

= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =

Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Country, using the following:
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}

= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.

= Other Resources =
Links to other organizations running a similar process.

Wiki-Dnewcomb:

Honored to be elected as OSGeo Charter Member.

As an introduction, I've been working in the geospatial world ( save for short episodes with pizza, airplanes, antiquities, and copiers) since 1984. I have worked for both private contractors and government agencies. I have a BS in Geography from the University of Illinois, CU, and an MA in Geography from the University of North Carolina, CH. I've used stereoplotters ( manual and digital), done wetland photointerpretation with a stereoscope, and performed computerized mapping with open source and proprietary software on PrimeOS, VAX, UNIX ( DGUX,Solaris,HPUX) Windows and Linux. I have found open source geospatial software to be the most reliable and most flexible.

I generally like to throw large chunks of data (currently LiDAR) over a landscape scale at software to see what happens. Fortunately GRASS and other open source geospatial software seems to be fairly robust.

= Introduction =
During the [http://2011.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2011 conference] in Denver, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organize themselves to discuss topics of interest.

'''Room allocation to be determined'''

***Tile merging (i.e. equivalent of WMS LAYERS=baselayer,overlaylayer)
***TMS multiple grids per tileset
***WMTS multiple url endpoints (eg tile1.domain.tld, tile2.domain.tld...): is this still needed now that browsers allow many more connections per server?
