With themes ranging from the integration of Open Source with Proprietary systems to the building of Spatial Data Infrastructures and application of Open Geospatial Standards, the conference offers a unique opportunity to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience available among the Open Source developers, sponsors and geospatial professionals of all persuasions. The Open Geospatial Consotium (OGC) is underpinning the conference with a Standards Based integration showcase based on a climate change scenario, demonstrating integration between Open Source and proprietary applications.

Along with a comprehensive program of thought provoking presentations and interactive workshops you would expect from an international conference, FOSS4G retains many of the engaging characteristics of its Open Source heritage. With Bird of a Feather sessions, code sprints, install-fests and impromptu project meetings, there is an unparalleled opportunity to take part in active communities and provide input into the direction for a variety of projects. FOSS4G encompasses the best of Open Communities, such as collaboration, helpfulness, innovation and honesty.

Early bird registration is just $AU725 (~ $US525) for 3 days of conference and tutorials, and $AU375 (~ $US270) for a day of top notch workshops from the world's best international presenters.

=== Location ===
FOSS4G 2009 will be held in Sydney, Australia which is built around one of the largest, most beautiful harbours in the world with miles of golden beaches stretching north and south of the city on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It has a warm climate in October with average temperatures ranging from 15 - 22°C. Sydney and its surrounding areas provide a diverse range of visual excitement and vibrancy. Visitors to Sydney are spoiled with choice including national parks, famous beaches, the World Heritage Blue Mountains area and the picturesque Sydney Harbour. Sydney’s also offers a diverse range of cultural activities including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Ballet and the Sydney Theatre Company all performing at the well know Sydney Opera House.

=== Call for Presentations ===
Are you planning to present at this years conference? If so, don't wait until you have your presentation finalised to tell us about it! Go to the submission website now (http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/) and enter your name and contact details and at least a title. Then, closer to the close-off date, log back in and fill out the abstract details. This will be a big help for the organisers as it will give us some advanced notice as to how many and what type of presentations to expect.


===FOSS4G 2009 Highlights===
'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G will launch the OGC's Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios and on-site data from the Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). This is especially important as demand for access to data over the internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow connections to the outside world.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the software without installing or effecting the existing system. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Installfest''': The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EE PC or any other system they care to bring in. Community members will be around to assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the software. The install fest will take place after workshops on the first day.

'''Workshops and Tutorials''': Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours) will be held in computer rooms on the first day. Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations during the third and fourth days.

'''Presentations''': The meat of the conference are it's presentations. Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the industry today.

'''Demo Theatre''': During lunch and coffee breaks the demonstration theatre will be showcasing live software. These short demonstrations from sponsors, open source projects and the user community show what is possible with open source today.

'''Birds of a Feather''': Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised meetings between like minded groups. Some prominant community initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.

'''Code Sprint''': The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image by describing it any differently.)

== Ouverture des inscriptions à la conférence FOSS4G==

Sydney, Australe. 4 Mai 2009.

http://2009.foss4g.org

La conférence internationale pour les Logiciels Libres et Open Source en Géospatial (FOSS4G), aura lieu à Sydney, en Australie, du 20 au 23 octobre 2009, est maintenant ouverte pour l'inscription. http://2009.foss4g.org/

Le FOSS4G attire la crème des sponsors et des développeurs internationaux de systèmes Géospatiaux Open Source et à normes ouvertes. Avec des thèmes allant de l'intégration de l'Open Source avec des systèmes propriétaires à la construction d'infrastructures de données spatiales ou de l'application des normes Open Geospatial, la conférence offre une occasion unique de puiser dans la richesse des connaissances et des expériences disponibles parmi les développeurs Open Source, les sponsors et les professionnels en géospatial de tous bords. L'Open Geospatial Consotium (OGC) soutient la conférence avec une intégration basée sur des normes sur la base d'un scénario de changement climatique, ce qui démontre l'intégration de l'Open Source avec des applications propriétaires.

Avec un programme complet de présentations impertinentes et d'ateliers interactifs que vous pouvez attendre d'une conférence internationale, le FOSS4G conserve beaucoup des caractéristiques de son engagement Open Source. Avec des sessions de Bird of Feather, de code sprints, de sessions d'installation improvisées et des réunions de projet, c'est une occasion unique de prendre une part active dans les communautés et de contribuer à la direction de nombreux projets. Le FOSS4G regroupe le meilleur des Communauté Libres tels que la collaboration, l'entraide, l'innovation et l'honnêteté.

L'inscription précoce (Early bird) est seulement de 725 $AUS (~ 525 $ US) pour 3 jours de conférences et de tutoriels, et de 375 $AU (~ 270 $US) pour une journée d'ateliers par les meilleurs présentateurs mondiaux.

=== Localisation ===

Le FOSS4G 2009 se tiendra à Sydney, Australie qui a été construit autour d'une des plus grandes, du plus jolie ports du monde avec des kilomètres de plages magnifiques s'étendant au nord et au sud de la ville sur les rives de l'océan Pacifique. Elle possède un climat chaud en octobre avec une température moyenne de 15 à 22 °C. Sydney et ses alentours proposent diverse vues magnifiques. Les visiteurs de la ville de Sydney sont gâtés par le choix de parcs nationaux, de plages célèbres, du patrimoine mondial de Blue Mountains et du pittoresque port de Sydney. Sydney offre également une gamme variée d'activités culturelles,comme l'Orchestre Symphonique de Sydney, l'Orchestre de Musique de Chambre Australien, le Ballet Australien et la compagny de Théatre de Sydney tous occupant la fameuse Sydney Opera House.

=== Appel à Présentations ===

Comptez-vous réaliser une présentation cette année lors de la conférence ? Si c'est le cas, n'attendez pas d'avoir finaliser votre présentation pour nous en informer ! Allez maintenant sur le site de soumission (http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/) et entrez votre nom, les détails pour vous contacter et au moins un titre. Puis, à l'approche de la date limite, retournez sur le site et remplissez les détails sur le résumé. Cela sera d'une grande aide pour les organisateurs puisque cela nous donnera des informations sur le nombre et le type des présentations attendues.

=== Points d'intérêts du FOSS4G ===

'''La soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP) :''' le FOSS4G lancera la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP), qui sera une démonstration d'interopérabilité entre les applications géospatiales open source et propriétaires. Un réseau de serveurs comprenant plusieurs machines virtuelles exposera leurs applications via des services web normalisés. Cette activité sera l'occasion de voir des composants SDI à l'oeuvre et de discuter directement avec les vendeurs et développeurs des mérites des différentes approches. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Les présentateurs sont encouragés (mais pas obligé) de réaliser des scénarios et d'utiliser des données sur site à partir de la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP). Cela est spécialement important puisque la demande de l'accès à Internet sera particulièrement élevée et que l'Australie est connue pour avoir une connexion plutôt lente.

'''Live DVD FOSS4G :''' les Live DVD, basés sur un système Xubuntu et incluant des logiciels open source géospatiaux, seront distribués à tous les participants. Les utilisateurs peuvent démarrer un live DVD sur leur ordinateur et tester les logiciels sans les installer ou affecter leur système existant. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Soirée installation :''' Une activité d'installation informelle aura lieu avant le dîner et permettra aux visiteurs de se rencontrer dans une salle commune et d'installer une large gamme de logiciels FOSS sur leur portable, EEE PC ou n'importe quel autre système qu'ils auront apporté. Les membres de la communauté seront présents pour assister en cas de problème et fourniront aide et conseils sur les logiciels. La soirée installation se tiendra après les workshops, le premier jour.

'''Workshops et tutoriaux :''' Les ateliers et les tutoriels permettent aux présentateurs de montrer leur application, leur solution d'intégration ou d'autres sujets aux visiteurs dans un environnement interactif. Des Workshops d'une demi-journée (3 heures) se tiendront dans des salles d'informatique le premier jour. Des tutoriaux (90 minutes) se tiendront dans des salles standards de présentation, en concomitance avec les présentations durant les troisièmes et quatrièmes journées.

'''Présentations :''' Les présentations constituent le coeur de la conférence. Basé sur une large communauté d'experts locaux, régionaux et internationaux, nous discuterons des sujets les plus récents et les plus intéressants dans l'industrie.

'''Théâtre de démo :''' Pendant les repas et les pauses café, le théâtre de démonstration vous permettra de voir l'utilisation de logiciels en live. Ces courtes démonstrations de sponsors, projets open source et de la communauté d'utilisateurs montrera les possibilités d'aujourd'hui en open source.

'''Birds of a Feather :''' Des salles ont été réservées pour des rencontres semi-organisées de groupes (les « Birds of a Feather ») ayant des intérêts communs. D'importantes initiatives de la communauté ont commencé par de simples « Birds of a Feather » à l'une ou l'autre des conférences FOSS4G.

'''Code Sprint :''' Le week-end suivant le FOSS4G est réservé pour le Sprint de codage. Les développeurs seront « enfermés » dans une salle avec une connexion internet rapide, de la pizza et du coca (eh bien, peut être quelque chose meilleur que cela, mais nous ne voulons pas entacher l'image mythique du développeur).

=== Dates à retenir ===

Todos estos servicios ''web'' mostrarán un mismo juego de datos, y serán accedos por un amplio conjunto de aplicaciones instaladas en computadoras cliente. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Se anima a los ponentes (sin compromiso) a hacer uso de escenarios y datos del CCIP. Esto es especialmente importante ya que la demanda de acceso a datos a ''Internet'' se espera que sea alta, y Autralia tiene una conexión al resto del mundo realmente lenta.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Se entregará a todos los asistentes un ''Live DVD'' basado en el sistema operativo Xubuntu incluyendo ''software'' libre geoespacial. Los usuarios podrán ejecutar el ''Live DVD'' en sus computadoras y probar el ''software'' sin necesidad de instalar nada en sus sistemas operativos. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Fiesta de instalación''': Se llevará a cabo una fiesta de instalación que proporcionará a los asistentes la oportunidad de conocerse en una zona común e instalar una gran variedad de ''software'' libre en sus portátiles, miniportátiles o cualquier otra máquina que puedan traer. Miembros de la comunidad estarán a mano para ayudar a los asistentes con cualquier problema y dar ayuda y soporte. La fiesta de instalación tendrá lugar después de los talleres del primer día.

'''Talleres y tutoriales''': Los talleres y tutoriales proporcionarán a los ponentes la oportunidad de guiar a los asistentes a través de las aplicaciones, soluciones de integración y otros temas en un entrono interactivo. Los talleres de media jornada (3 horas) tendrán lugar en salas con computadoras el primer día. Los tutoriales (90 minutos) tendrán lugar en salas de presentación normales a la vez que el resto de presentaciones durante el tercer y cuarto días.

'''Presentaciones''': La ''carne'' de la conferencia son las presentaciones. Sobre la base de una gran comunidad de expertos locales, regionales e internacionales discutiremos sobre los temas más actuales en la industria actual.

'''Sala de demostraciones''': Durante la comida y pausas para tomar un café se realizarán demostraciones en vivo de ''sotware'' en la sala de demostraciones. Este tipo de presentaciones ofrecidas por patrocinadores, proyectos de ''software'' libre y la comunidad de usuarios muestran qué es posible con ''software'' libre hoy en día.

'''''Birds of a Feather''''': Se dispondrá de salas para realizar reuniones semi-organizadas entre grupos de interés común. Algunas iniciativas importantes de la comunidad han arrancado en sesiones BoF de anteriores FOSS4G.

'''''Code Sprint''''': El fin de semana anterior al FOSS4G se ha reservado para el ''Hackers' Code Sprint''. Los desarrolladores se encerrarán en un lugar con buen ancho de banda, ''Internet'' y refrescos. (Bueno, tal vez con algo mejor que todo esto, pero no queremos desmitificar la imagen del ''hacker'' describiéndolo de otro modo).

=== FOSS4G 2009의 주요 특징 ===
'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G에서는 OGC의 기후 변화 통합 플러그페스트(Plugfest) 행사가 열리며, 해당 행사에서는 오픈 소스와 독점 응용 프로그램 간의 표준 기반 상호운용성이 시연됩니다. 이 행사는 다중 가상 머신이 설치된 여러 서버들로 구성되며, 각각의 가상 머신에는 표준 기반 웹 서비스를 제공하는 지리공간 응용 프로그램이 설치될 것입니다. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

발표자는, 의무 사항은 아니지만, CCIP 현장 자료와 시나리오를 최대한 이용하기를 권장합니다. 호주는 호주 외부 세계와의 인터넷 연결 속도가 매우 느립니다. 따라서 초고속 인터넷 연결이 요구되는 경우에 이는 매우 중요합니다.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Xubuntu 운영 체제에서 구동되며 지리공간 오픈 소스 소프트웨어를 담고 있는 Live DVD는 컨퍼런스 참가자 모두에게 제공됩니다. 사용자는 자신의 컴퓨터에 Live DVD의 설치없이 직접 Live DVD를 부팅시켜 시험해 볼 수 있으며 이러한 과정은 사용자의 컴퓨터에 영향을 미치지 않을 것입니다. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Installfest''': Installfest에서 참가자는 다양한 종류의 오픈 소스 소프트웨어를 자신의 노트북이나 다른 기기에 설치하는 기회를 가지게 될 것입니다. 소프트웨어 설치나 이해에 대해 주변의 회원이 도움을 줄 것입니다. 본 Installfest 행사는 첫째날 워크샵이 끝난 뒤에 개최될 것입니다.

'''Workshops and Tutorials''': 워크샵과 튜토리얼에서 발표자는 응용 프로그램, 통합 솔루션, 또는 다른 주제를 가지고 상호교류하는 방식으로 참석자들을 이끌 것입니다. 반나절 워크샵(3시간)은 컨퍼런스 첫째날에 컴퓨터실에서 진행될 것입니다. 튜토리얼(90분)은 일반적인 발표실에서 진행되며, 컨퍼런스 셋째날과 넷째날에 일반 발표와 함께 진행됩니다.

'''Presentations''': 컨퍼런스 핵심은 역시 발표입니다. 지역과 전 세계의 전문가들이 모여 오늘날의 산업계에서 가장 따끈따끈하고 날카로운 주제를 가지고 토론할 것입니다.

'''Demo Theatre''': 점심시간과 휴식 시간에 실제 소프트웨어를 이용한 데모 시연이 있을 것입니다. 스폰서, 오픈 소스 프로젝트 담당자들 그리고 사용자 개발자들 보여 줄 본 데모 시연은 오픈 소스를 이용하여 오늘날 무엇이 가능한지를 짧게 보여줄 것입니다.

'''Birds of a Feather''': 동호회 모임을 위한 별도의 공간이 준비되어 있습니다. 벌써 FOSS4G 동호회 모임 조직을 위한 제안들이 시작되었습니다.

'''Code Sprint''': FOSS4G가 마무리된 그 주 주말에는 해커들을 위한 Code Sprint가 준비되어 있습니다. 해커들은 광대역 인터넷과 피자 그리고 콜라가 가득한 지하실에 감금될 것입니다.(음, 아마도 그것보다는 나을 것입니다. 그러나 우리는 신화적인 해커 이미지를 망치고 싶지는 않군요).

�
===Các nội dung nổi bật của FOSS4G 2009:===
'''Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu (The Climate Change Integration Plugfest - CCIP)''': FOSS4G sẽ khởi động Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu của OGC (CCIP), ngày hội sẽ trình diễn các chuẩn dựa trên tính đồng vận hành giữa các ứng dụng địa không gian có bản quyền và mã mở. Sẽ có nhiều máy chủ với nhiều máy ảo, mỗi máy đã cài các ứng dụng địa không gian cung cấp các chuẩn dựa trên dịch vụ web (web services). Đại biểu sẽ có cơ hội xem xét các thành phần SDI và trao đổi trực tiếp với các nhà cung cấp về tính hiệu quả của các thành phần và cách tiếp cận khác nhau.
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Những người thuyết trình được khuyến khích (nhưng không bắt buộc) sử dụng các tình huống và dữ liệu trực tuyến từ Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng bởi vì nhu cầu truy cập dữ liệu trên Internet sẽ cao, nhưng Úc lại có kết nối khá chậm.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Đĩa DVD chạy sống, dựa trên hệ điều hành Xubuntu và gồm sẵn các Phần mềm Mã mở Địa không gian, sẽ được phát cho tất cả các đại biểu. Người sử dụng có thể khởi động đĩa Live DVD trên máy của mình và dùng thử phần mềm mà không cần cài hoặc làm ảnh hưởng đến hệ thống đang có.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Ngày hội cài đặt (Installfest)''': Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ diễn ra dưới hình thức thân mật trước bữa tối, sự kiện này sẽ cho các đại biểu cơ hội gặp gỡ trong một lĩnh vực chung và cài các phần mềm FOSS đa dạng trên máy tính của mình, EEE PC hoặc bất kỳ hệ thống nào mà họ mang đến. Các thành viên cộng đồng sẽ trợ giúp để khắc phục khó khăn và giúp hiểu hơn về phần mềm. Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ bắt đầu sau các bài workshop trong ngày đầu tiên.

'''Các Buổi workshop and Bài học''': Các Buổi workshop và Bài học sẽ giúp giảng viên dẫn dắt những người tham gia đi qua các ứng dụng, giải pháp tích hợp hoặc các chủ đề khác trong một môi trường tương tác. Các bài workshop nửa ngày (3 giờ) sẽ được tổ chức trong các phòng máy tính trong ngày đầu tiên. Các bài học (90 phút) sẽ được tổ chức trong phòng thuyết trình, diễn ra song song với các phần thuyết trình suốt ngày thứ ba và thứ tư của hội thảo.

'''Các bài thuyết trình''': phần hồn của hội thảo chính là các bài thuyết trình. Được dẫn dắt bởi các chuyên gia địa phương, châu lục và quốc tế, chúng ta sẽ cùng thảo luận một số chủ đề nhức nhối và cấp bách hiện nay trong ngành. Chúng ta sẽ nghe các bài thuyết trình thảo luận thẳng thắn trình bày các điểm yếu cũng như điểm mạnh, ví dụ như là cuộc đấu hiệu năng của các Máy chủ Bản đồ Web nổi tiếng.

'''Trình diễn Demo''': Trong thời gian ăn trưa và nghỉ giải lao, các phần mềm sẽ được trình diễn demo. Các phần demo ngắn từ các nhà tài trợ, các dự án mã mở và cộng đồng người dùng sẽ cho thấy khả năng của mã nguồn mở ngày nay.

'''Hội những người cùng sở thích (Birds of a Feather)''': Ban tổ chức dành các phòng cho các cuộc họp không chính thức giữa những nhóm cùng quan điểm. Một vài khởi xướng, ý tưởng cộng đồng đáng chú ý đã được bắt đầu trước cả phần FOSS4G Birds of a Feather.

'''Tỷ thí viết code (Code Sprint)''': Thời điểm cuối tuần sau hội thảo FOSS4G sẽ được dành cho Cuộc tỷ thí của các “hacker” (chú thích: nghĩa bóng, ý nói những người thích vọc công nghệ). Các “hacker” sẽ được đưa vào một hội trường với băng thông mạng lớn, pizza và bánh ngọt. (Còn có thể có nhiều thứ tốt hơn thế nữa, nhưng chúng tôi không muốn làm hỏng đi hình ảnh bí hiểm của “hacker”).

== FOSS4G 2009 Call for Abstracts ==

The Organising Committee would like to welcome all interested participants to submit abstracts for presentations for the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. FOSS4G offers participants an opportunity to learn from and share your knowledge, experience and ideas with a group of like minded individuals representing a wide array of industries, governments, technologies and nationalities.

Presentations are open to all those interested and will comprise a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. The committee is looking for a mixture of technical and non-technical presentations.

In deference to the conference theme of “User Driven,” topics of particular interest are:
* Case Studies: Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Internal Advocacy: Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration: Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Security: Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Developments: Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

For more information, visit the FOSS4G site at http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

The deadline for presentation submissions is June 1st 2009. See you in Sydney.

'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G will launch the OGC's Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios and on-site data from the Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). This is especially important as demand for access to data over the internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow connections to the outside world.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the software without installing or effecting the existing system. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Installfest''': The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEE PC or any other system they care to bring in. Community members will be around to assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the software. The install fest will take place after workshops on the first day.

'''Workshops and Tutorials''': Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours) will be held in computer rooms on the first day. Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations during the third and fourth days.

'''Presentations''': The meat of the conference are it's presentations. Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the industry today.

'''Demo Theatre''': During lunch and coffee breaks the demonstration theatre will be showcasing live software. These short demonstrations from sponsors, open source projects and the user community show what is possible with open source today.

'''Birds of a Feather''': Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised meetings between like minded groups. Some prominant community initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.

'''Code Sprint''': The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image by describing it any differently.)

===FOSS4G 2009のハイライト===
'''気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP：The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest ）''': FOSS4Gでは，OGC 気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP）を開始する予定です。これは，標準に準拠することにより，オープンソースとオープンソースでない地理空間アプリケーションの相互運用を実演するものです。 CCIPは，それぞれに標準に準拠したWebサービスを提供する地理空間アプリケーションを含んだ，複数のヴァーチャル・マシーンが走るサーバーにより構成されます。全てのWebサービスは共通のデータセットをデモし、クライアント側のコンピュータにインストールされた一連の地理空間クライアントアプリケーションからアクセスされます。
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

発表者はCCIPからのシナリオとデータを活用することが推奨されます（強制ではありません）。これがとりわけ重要なのは、インターネットを介してデータにアクセスする需要が高いことが予想されるためと、オーストラリアの外部への接続が遅いことで悪名高いからです。

'''FOSS4GライブDVD（FOSS4G Live DVD）''': Xubuntuを用い，地理空間オープンソースソフトウェアが動作する，Live DVDが全ての参加者に配布されます。ユーザーはLive DVDを使ってPCを起動することにより，インストールや既存システムを変更することなく，ソフトウェアを試用することができます。 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''インストールフェスト（Installfest）''': インストールフェストでは，参加者が集まり，持参したラップトップやネットブック（EEE PC），その他のシステムに各種のFOSSをインストールすることができます。コミュニティーのメンバーが，あらゆるトラブルのサポート役になり，ソフトウェアについての助言と知識を与えてくれます。インストールフェストは初日のワークショップの終了後に開催されます。

'''ワークショップとチュートリアル（Workshops and Tutorials）''': ワークショップとチュートリアルでは、発表者が，アプリケーションの利用法，統合的ソリューション，その他のトピックについて，参加者に説明することが可能です。半日（3時間）のワークショップが初日にコンピュータルームで開催されます。チュートリアル（90分）は通常のプレゼンテーションルームで開催され、3日目と4日目にはプレゼンテーションと同時の開催となります。

'''プレゼンテーション（Presentations）''': 会議の主題はプレゼンテーションです。多くのローカル，地域，国際的なコミュニティーから専門家が参加するので，この業界で今，最も斬新で面白い話題について論議がされます。

'''デモシアター（Demo Theatre）''': ランチとコーヒーブレークの間、デモシアターがライブソフトウェアのショーケースとなります。スポンサーやオープンソースプロジェクト、ユーザーコミュニティからの短時間のデモンストレーションにより、オープンソースで今何が出来るかを見ることが出来ます。

'''Birds of a Feather''': 共通の関心を持った人たちによる誰でも気軽に参加できるミーティングを持つための部屋も準備します。これまでのFOSS4GのBirds of a Featherセッションは，いくつかの活発なコミュニティーの活動のきっかけとなっています。

'''コードスプリント（Code Sprint）''':
FOSS4G終了後の週末には，ハッカー（マニアックなプログラマー）のためのCode Sprintが予定されています。ハッカーは充実したインターネット環境，ピザ，コークが準備された地下室に引きこもれるぜ！（いや，もうちょっとまともだけど，ミステリアスなハッカーのイメージは壊したくないし）。

== FOSS4G 2009 Oproep voor bijdragen ==

De organisatie nodigt geïnteresseerde deelnemers uit om bijdragen in te dienen voor presentaties voor de “Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial“ conferentie (FOSS4G), die zal worden gehouden in Sydney, Australië van 20 t/m 23 Oktober 2009. FOSS4G biedt deelnemers de mogelijkheid te leren van de aanwezige expertises en/of kennis en ideeën te delen met een groep van gelijkgestemde individuele vertegenwoordigers van verschillende nationaliteiten uit een breed scala van industrieën, overheden en technologische achtergronden.

Presenteren staat open voor alle geïnteresseerden. Er is ruimte voor sessies van 30 minuten inclusief aankondiging en met 5 minuten gelegenheid voor het stellen van vragen. Presentaties zullen worden geselecteerd op basis van de mate waarin ze het "Open Geospatial" thema vertegenwoordigen. De organiserende commissie is op zoek naar een mix van technische en niet-technische presentaties.

In relatie met onderwerpen die specifiek insteken vanuit “gebruikerservaringen,” is de commissie met name op zoek naar onderwerpen zoals:
* Case Studies: Deel uw ervaringen met de implementatie en het gebruik van open source geospatial. Welke problemen probeerde u op te lossen? Hoe succesvol was uw project en tegen welke kosten? Wat kunnen anderen leren van uw ervaringen?
* Uw organisatie migreren naar open source Geospatial: Was het moeilijk om het Open Source concept te verkopen in uw organisatie? Hoe presenteerde u het concept aan het management? Op welke wijze bracht u de kosten en voordelen in kaart, hoe bouwde u de business case? Welke vooroordelen moest u overbruggen en hoe deed u dat?
* Samenwerking: Bent u de uitdagingen aangegaan van samenwerken met andere organisaties, met bedrijven of teamleden die wereldwijd verspreid werken? Welke stappen nam u om de samenwerking te optimaliseren: Gebruikte u open of defacto standaards, gedecentraliseerde data collectie of heeft u zelf specifieke oplossingen ontdekt?
* Security: Het beveiligen van gegevens zonder het gemak van toegang voor uw doelgroep te verliezen kan een uitdaging zijn. Deel uw succes en falen met anderen die ook te maken hebben met de behoefte aan goede, gedegen en bruikbare beveiliging.
* Ontwikkeling: Bent u de maker van een perfecte widget die de wereld zal veranderen? Is uw project er in geslaagd essentiële functies te implementeren? Breng ons op de hoogte van het laatste nieuws en vertel ons wat de toekomst zal brengen.

== FOSS4G 2009 Petición de resúmenes ==

El Comité Organizador quiere dar la bienvenida a todos los participantes interesados en el envío de resúmenes de presentaciones para la conferencia internacional ''Free and Open Source for Geospatial'' (FOSS4G), que tendrá lugar en Sydney, Astrualia, del 20 al 23 de octubre. FOSS4G ofrece a los participantes la oportunidad de aprender y compartir su conocimiento, experiencias e ideas con un grupo de personas interesadas en temas afines, representando un gran abanico de industrias, administraciones públicas, tecnologías y nacionalidades.

Las presentaciones están abiertas a todos los interesados y comprometen a un espacio de 30 minutos que incluye introducción, presentación y 5 minutos para preguntas. Serán seleccionadas aquellas presentaciones fuertemente enfocadas al ''software'' libre geoespacial. El comité busca presentaciones tanto técnicas como de otro tipo.

En referencia al tema central de la conferencia ''Dirigido por los usuarios'', esta es la lista de temas de particular interés:

* Casos de estudio: comparte tus experiencias implementando y usando ''software'' libre geoespacial. ¿Qué problemas intenta resolver? ¿Con qué existo y a qué coste? ¿Qué pueden aprender otros de tu experiencia?
* Promoción interna: ¿Ha tenido que vender el concepto de ''Software'' Libre en su organización? ¿Cómo presentó el concepto a los gestores? ¿Cómo presento los escenarios coste/beneficio y construyó el caso de negocio? ¿Qué obstáculos encontró y cómo los abordó?
* Colaboración: ¿Se ha encontrado con los retos de colaboración entre organizaciones, oficinas alejadas o miembros repartidos por todo el mundo? ¿Qué pasos ha tomado para mejorar la eficiencia de su colaboración?: estándares abiertos o ''de facto'', recolección de datos descentralizada, o la infinidad de soluciones que sólo usted puede describir
* Seguridad: Dar seguridad a sus datos mientras asegura la facilidad de acceso a aquellos pocos de su círculo más cercano puede ser una tarea tarea intimidadora. Comparta su éxito, y sus fallos, con otros enfrentando sus propios problemas de seguridad.
* Desarrollos: ¿Ha creado el nuevo y brillante componente que cambiará el mundo? ¿O tal vez su respetable proyecto finalmente ha completado una característica o dos? Pónganos al día con los nuevos desarrollos en su proyecto de ''softawre'' libre geoespacial: qué hace, cómo la gente lo está usando y qué tiene en la cocina para el próximo año.

Para más información, visite el sitio ''web'' del FOSS4G en http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La fecha límite para el envío de presentaciones es el 1 de junio de 2009. Nos vemos en Sydney.

=== Elementos de interés del FOSS4G 2009 ===

'''Evento de integración sobre el cambio climático''': FOSS4G lanzará el evento de integración de OGC sobre el cambio climático (CCIP), que demostrará la interoperabilidad basada en estándares entre aplicaciones geoespaciales basadas en ''software'' libre y privativo. Consisten en la utilización de servidores en diferentes máquinas virtuales, cada uno con aplicaciones geoespaciales ofreciendo servicios ''web'' basados en estándares. Todos estos servicios ''web'' mostrarán un mismo juego de datos, y serán accedos por un amplio conjunto de aplicaciones instaladas en computadoras cliente. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Se anima a los ponentes (sin compromiso) a hacer uso de escenarios y datos del CCIP. Esto es especialmente importante ya que la demanda de acceso a datos a ''Internet'' se espera que sea alta, y Autralia tiene una conexión al resto del mundo realmente lenta.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Se entregará a todos los asistentes un ''Live DVD'' basado en el sistema operativo Xubuntu incluyendo ''software'' libre geoespacial. Los usuarios podrán ejecutar el ''Live DVD'' en sus computadoras y probar el ''software'' sin necesidad de instalar nada en sus sistemas operativos. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Fiesta de instalación''': Se llevará a cabo una fiesta de instalación que proporcionará a los asistentes la oportunidad de conocerse en una zona común e instalar una gran variedad de ''software'' libre en sus portátiles, miniportátiles o cualquier otra máquina que puedan traer. Miembros de la comunidad estarán a mano para ayudar a los asistentes con cualquier problema y dar ayuda y soporte. La fiesta de instalación tendrá lugar después de los talleres del primer día.

'''Talleres y tutoriales''': Los talleres y tutoriales proporcionarán a los ponentes la oportunidad de guiar a los asistentes a través de las aplicaciones, soluciones de integración y otros temas en un entrono interactivo. Los talleres de media jornada (3 horas) tendrán lugar en salas con computadoras el primer día. Los tutoriales (90 minutos) tendrán lugar en salas de presentación normales a la vez que el resto de presentaciones durante el tercer y cuarto días.

'''Presentaciones''': La ''carne'' de la conferencia son las presentaciones. Sobre la base de una gran comunidad de expertos locales, regionales e internacionales discutiremos sobre los temas más actuales en la industria actual.

'''Sala de demostraciones''': Durante la comida y pausas para tomar un café se realizarán demostraciones en vivo de ''sotware'' en la sala de demostraciones. Este tipo de presentaciones ofrecidas por patrocinadores, proyectos de ''software'' libre y la comunidad de usuarios muestran qué es posible con ''software'' libre hoy en día.

'''''Birds of a Feather''''': Se dispondrá de salas para realizar reuniones semi-organizadas entre grupos de interés común. Algunas iniciativas importantes de la comunidad han arrancado en sesiones BoF de anteriores FOSS4G.

'''''Code Sprint''''': El fin de semana anterior al FOSS4G se ha reservado para el ''Hackers' Code Sprint''. Los desarrolladores se encerrarán en un lugar con buen ancho de banda, ''Internet'' y refrescos. (Bueno, tal vez con algo mejor que todo esto, pero no queremos desmitificar la imagen del ''hacker'' describiéndolo de otro modo).

== Appel pour les abstracts du FOSS4G 2009 ==

Le Comité d'Organisation invite tous les participants intéressés à soumettre leurs abstracts pour les présentations pour la conférence des Logiciels Libres et Open Source en Geospatial (FOSS4G) qui se tiendra à Sydney en Australie du 20 au 23 octobre. Le FOSS4G offre aux participants une opportunité d'apprendre et partager leur connaissance, expérience et idées avec des groupes d'individus d'intérêts communs représentant une large gamme d'industriels, gouvernements, technologies et nationalités.

Les présentations sont ouvertes à tous ceux qui sont intéressé et comprendra un espace de 30 minutes qui inclus hand-over, introduction et 5 mn de questions. Les présentations qui seront sélectionnées seront celles qui auront une forte liaison avec la thématique "Geospatial open source" (Open Geospatial). Le comité recherche un mélange de présentations techniques et non techniques.

Par respect pour le thème "conduit par l'utilisateur" de la conférence, les sujets particulièrement intéressant sont :
* Études de cas : Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Plaidoyer interne : Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration : Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Sécurité : Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Développements : Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

Pour des informations supplémentaires, visitez le site du FOSS4G sur http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La date limite pour la soumission des présentation est le 1er juin 2009. À bientôt à Sydney.

=== Points d'intérêts du FOSS4G ===

'''La soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP)''' : le FOSS4G lancera la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP), qui sera une démonstration d'interopérabilité entre les applications geospatiales open source et propriétaires. Un réseau de serveurs comprenant plusieurs machines virtuelles exposeront leurs applications via des services web normalisés. Cette activité sera l'occasion de voir des composants SDI à l'oeuvre et de discuter directement avec les vendeurs et développeurs des mérites des différentes approches. _http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome_

Les présentateurs sont encouragé (mais pas obligé) de réaliser des scénarios et d'utiliser des données sur site à partir de la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP). Cela est spécialement important puisque la demande de l'accès à Internet sera particulièrement élevée et que l'Australie est connu pour avoir une connection plutôt lente.

'''Live DVD FOSS4G''' : les Live DVD, basés sur un système Xubuntu et incluant des logiciels open source geospatial, seront distribués à tous les participants. Les utilisateurs peuvent démarrer un live DVD sur leur ordinateur et tester les logiciels sans les installer ou affecter leur système existant. _http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_

'''Soirée installation''' : Une activité d'installation informelle aura lieu avant le dîner et permettra aux visiteurs de se rencontrer dans une salle commune et d'installer une large gamme de logiciels FOSS sur leur portable, EEE PC ou n'importe quel autre système qu'ils auront apporté. Les membres de la communauté seront présents pour assister en cas de problème et fourniront aide et conseils sur les logiciels. La soirée installation se tiendra après les workshops, le premier jour.

'''Workshops et tutorials''' : Les ateliers et les tutoriels permettent aux présentateurs de montrer leur application, leur solution d'intégration ou d'autres sujets aux visiteurs dans un environnement interactif. Des Workshops d'une demi-journée (3 heures) se tiendront dans des salles d'informatique le premier jour. Des tutoriaux (90 minutes) se tiendront dans des salles standards de présentation, en concomitance avec les présentations durant les troisièmes et quatrièmes journées.

'''Présentations''' : Les présentations constituent le coeur de la conférence. Basé sur une large communauté d'experts locaux, régionaux et internationaux, nous discuterons des sujets les plus récent et les plus intéressants dans l'industrie.

'''Théâtre de démo''': Pendant les repas et les pauses café le théâtre de démonstration vous permettront de voir l'utilisation de logiciels en live. Ces courtes démonstrations de sponsors, projets open source et de la communauté d'utilisateurs montrera les possibilités d'aujourd'hui en open source.

'''Birds of a Feather''' : Des salles ont été réservées pour des rencontres semi-organisées de groupes (les "Birds of a Feather") ayant des intérêts communs. D'importantes initiatives de la communauté ont commencé par de simples "Birds of a Feather" à l'une ou l'autre des conférences FOSS4G.

'''Code Sprint''' : Le week-end suivant le FOSS4G est réservé pour le Sprint de codage. Les développeurs seront "enfermés" dans une salle avec une connexion internet rapide, de la pizza et du coca (eh bien, peut être quelque chose meilleur que cela, mais nous ne voulons pas entacher l'image mythique du développeur).

== FOSS4G 2009 Lời mời gởi báo cáo ==

Ban tổ chức xin chào mừng tất cả các đại biểu tham gia gởi bài tóm tắt thuyết trình cho Hội thảo Phần mềm Tự do và Mã mở cho Địa không gian (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference - FOSS4G) sắp được tổ chức tại Syney, Úc từ 20-23 tháng mười. FOSS4G tạo cơ hội cho các đại biểu học hỏi và chia sẽ kiến thức, kinh nghiệm và ý tưởng với nhóm người đại diện cùng sở thích từ nhiều ngành, nhiều nền tảng công nghệ, nhiều quốc gia và chính phủ khác nhau.

Các bài thuyết trình được dành cho tất cả những ai quan tâm và sẽ kéo dài 30 phút bao gồm cả trình bày, giới thiệu và 5 phút đặt câu hỏi. Các bài thuyết trình sẽ được lựa chọn theo tiêu chí chủ đề “Địa không gian mở”. Ban tổ chức mong muốn nhận được bài thuyết trình cả thiên về kỹ thuật và không kỹ thuật.

Thể theo chủ đề của hội thảo là “Hướng người dùng”, các chủ đề được quan tâm bao gồm:

* Case Studies: Chia sẻ kinh nghiệm hiện thực hóa và sử dụng địa không gian mã mở. Các vấn đề đã được giải quyết? Bạn đã thành công và tiết kiệm chi phí ở mức nào? Những người khác có thể học gì từ kinh nghiệm của bạn?
* Tán thành nội bộ: Bạn đã đề xướng khái niệm mã mở cho đơn vị của mình chưa? Bạn đã trình bày khái niệm đó với nhà quản lý như thế nào? Bạn đã trình bày các lợi ích và các phân tích kinh doanh ra sao? Những rào cản nào bạn đã gặp và cách vượt qua?
* Cộng tác: Bạn đã thử sự cộng tác giữa các đơn vị, các văn phòng cách xa nhau hay giữa các thành viên nhóm rải rác khắp toàn cầu chưa? Những bước nào bạn đã làm để cải tiến tính hiệu quả của sự cộng tác đó: chuẩn mở hay chuẩn không chính thức, phân rã kho dữ liệu hay vô số các giải pháp khác mà chỉ có bạn mới có thể mô tả?
* Bảo mật: Bảo mật dữ liệu của bạn trong khi vẫn bảo đảm dễ dàng truy xuất có thể là một công việc dễ làm nản lòng. Hãy chia sẽ những thành công, thất bại của bạn với những người cũng đang đối mặt với những vấn đề bảo mật của chính họ.
* Phát triển: Bạn đã từng tạo một widget có thể thay đổi thế giới chưa? Hay dự án lâu đời của bạn cuối cùng cũng đã hoàn thành được tính năng theo yêu cầu? Hãy mang đến những phát triển cập nhật mới nhất của phần mềm địa không gian mã mở của bạn để tạo ra sự bàn tán: nó làm gì, bao nhiêu người đang dùng và năm tới nó sẽ có gì?

Hạn chót gởi bài thuyết trình là 1 tháng 6 năm 2009. Hẹn gặp ở Sydney.

=== Các nội dung nổi bật của FOSS4G 2009 bao gồm: ===

'''Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu (The Climate Change Integration Plugfest - CCIP)''': FOSS4G sẽ khởi động Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu của OGC (CCIP), ngày hội sẽ trình diễn các chuẩn dựa trên tính đồng vận hành giữa các ứng dụng địa không gian có bản quyền và mã mở. Sẽ có nhiều máy chủ với nhiều máy ảo, mỗi máy đã cài các ứng dụng địa không gian cung cấp các chuẩn dựa trên dịch vụ web (web services). Đại biểu sẽ có cơ hội xem xét các thành phần SDI và trao đổi trực tiếp với các nhà cung cấp về tính hiệu quả của các thành phần và cách tiếp cận khác nhau.
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Những người thuyết trình được khuyến khích (nhưng không bắt buộc) sử dụng các tình huống và dữ liệu trực tuyến từ Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng bởi vì nhu cầu truy cập dữ liệu trên Internet sẽ cao, nhưng Úc lại có kết nối khá chậm.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Đĩa DVD chạy sống, dựa trên hệ điều hành Xubuntu và gồm sẵn các Phần mềm Mã mở Địa không gian, sẽ được phát cho tất cả các đại biểu. Người sử dụng có thể khởi động đĩa Live DVD trên máy của mình và dùng thử phần mềm mà không cần cài hoặc làm ảnh hưởng đến hệ thống đang có.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Ngày hội cài đặt (Installfest)''': Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ diễn ra dưới hình thức thân mật trước bữa tối, sự kiện này sẽ cho các đại biểu cơ hội gặp gỡ trong một lĩnh vực chung và cài các phần mềm FOSS đa dạng trên máy tính của mình, EEE PC hoặc bất kỳ hệ thống nào mà họ mang đến. Các thành viên cộng đồng sẽ trợ giúp để khắc phục khó khăn và giúp hiểu hơn về phần mềm. Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ bắt đầu sau các bài workshop trong ngày đầu tiên.

'''Các Buổi workshop and Bài học''': Các Buổi workshop và Bài học sẽ giúp giảng viên dẫn dắt những người tham gia đi qua các ứng dụng, giải pháp tích hợp hoặc các chủ đề khác trong một môi trường tương tác. Các bài workshop nửa ngày (3 giờ) sẽ được tổ chức trong các phòng máy tính trong ngày đầu tiên. Các bài học (90 phút) sẽ được tổ chức trong phòng thuyết trình, diễn ra song song với các phần thuyết trình suốt ngày thứ ba và thứ tư của hội thảo.

'''Các bài thuyết trình''': phần hồn của hội thảo chính là các bài thuyết trình. Được dẫn dắt bởi các chuyên gia địa phương, châu lục và quốc tế, chúng ta sẽ cùng thảo luận một số chủ đề nhức nhối và cấp bách hiện nay trong ngành. Chúng ta sẽ nghe các bài thuyết trình thảo luận thẳng thắn trình bày các điểm yếu cũng như điểm mạnh, ví dụ như là cuộc đấu hiệu năng của các Máy chủ Bản đồ Web nổi tiếng.

'''Trình diễn Demo''': Trong thời gian ăn trưa và nghỉ giải lao, các phần mềm sẽ được trình diễn demo. Các phần demo ngắn từ các nhà tài trợ, các dự án mã mở và cộng đồng người dùng sẽ cho thấy khả năng của mã nguồn mở ngày nay.

'''Hội những người cùng sở thích (Birds of a Feather)''': Ban tổ chức dành các phòng cho các cuộc họp không chính thức giữa những nhóm cùng quan điểm. Một vài khởi xướng, ý tưởng cộng đồng đáng chú ý đã được bắt đầu trước cả phần FOSS4G Birds of a Feather.

'''Tỷ thí viết code (Code Sprint)''': Thời điểm cuối tuần sau hội thảo FOSS4G sẽ được dành cho Cuộc tỷ thí của các “hacker” (chú thích: nghĩa bóng, ý nói những người thích vọc công nghệ). Các “hacker” sẽ được đưa vào một hội trường với băng thông mạng lớn, pizza và bánh ngọt. (Còn có thể có nhiều thứ tốt hơn thế nữa, nhưng chúng tôi không muốn làm hỏng đi hình ảnh bí hiểm của “hacker”).

== FOSS4G 2009 Call for Abstracts ==

The Organising Committee would like to welcome all interested participants to submit abstracts for presentations for the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. FOSS4G offers participants an opportunity to learn from and share your knowledge, experience and ideas with a group of like minded individuals representing a wide array of industries, governments, technologies and nationalities.

Presentations are open to all those interested and will comprise a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. The committee is looking for a mixture of technical and non-technical presentations.

In deference to the conference theme of “User Driven,” topics of particular interest are:
* Case Studies: Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Internal Advocacy: Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration: Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Security: Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Developments: Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

For more information, visit the FOSS4G site at http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

The deadline for presentation submissions is June 1st 2009. See you in Sydney.

===FOSS4G 2009 Highlights===
'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G will launch the OGC's Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios and on-site data from the Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). This is especially important as demand for access to data over the internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow connections to the outside world.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the software without installing or effecting the existing system. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Installfest''': The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEE PC or any other system they care to bring in. Community members will be around to assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the software. The install fest will take place after workshops on the first day.

'''Workshops and Tutorials''': Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours) will be held in computer rooms on the first day. Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations during the third and fourth days.

'''Presentations''': The meat of the conference are it's presentations. Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the industry today.

'''Demo Theatre''': During lunch and coffee breaks the demonstration theatre will be showcasing live software. These short demonstrations from sponsors, open source projects and the user community show what is possible with open source today.

'''Birds of a Feather''': Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised meetings between like minded groups. Some prominant community initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.

'''Code Sprint''': The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image by describing it any differently.)

===FOSS4G 2009のハイライト===
'''気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP：The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest ）''': FOSS4Gでは，OGC 気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP）を開始する予定です。これは，標準に準拠することにより，オープンソースとオープンソースでない地理空間アプリケーションの相互運用を実演するものです。 CCIPは，それぞれに標準に準拠したWebサービスを提供する地理空間アプリケーションを含んだ，複数のヴァーチャル・マシーンが走るサーバーにより構成されます。全てのWebサービスは共通のデータセットをデモし、クライアント側のコンピュータにインストールされた一連の地理空間クライアントアプリケーションからアクセスされます。
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

発表者はCCIPからのシナリオとデータを活用することが推奨されます（強制ではありません）。これがとりわけ重要なのは、インターネットを介してデータにアクセスする需要が高いことが予想されるためと、オーストラリアの外部への接続が遅いことで悪名高いからです。

'''FOSS4GライブDVD（FOSS4G Live DVD）''': Xubuntuを用い，地理空間オープンソースソフトウェアが動作する，Live DVDが全ての参加者に配布されます。ユーザーはLive DVDを使ってPCを起動することにより，インストールや既存システムを変更することなく，ソフトウェアを試用することができます。 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''インストールフェスト（Installfest）''': インストールフェストでは，参加者が集まり，持参したラップトップやネットブック（EEE PC），その他のシステムに各種のFOSSをインストールすることができます。コミュニティーのメンバーが，あらゆるトラブルのサポート役になり，ソフトウェアについての助言と知識を与えてくれます。インストールフェストは初日のワークショップの終了後に開催されます。

'''ワークショップとチュートリアル（Workshops and Tutorials）''': ワークショップとチュートリアルでは、発表者が，アプリケーションの利用法，統合的ソリューション，その他のトピックについて，参加者に説明することが可能です。半日（3時間）のワークショップが初日にコンピュータルームで開催されます。チュートリアル（90分）は通常のプレゼンテーションルームで開催され、3日目と4日目にはプレゼンテーションと同時の開催となります。

'''プレゼンテーション（Presentations）''': 会議の主題はプレゼンテーションです。多くのローカル，地域，国際的なコミュニティーから専門家が参加するので，この業界で今，最も斬新で面白い話題について論議がされます。

'''デモシアター（Demo Theatre）''': ランチとコーヒーブレークの間、デモシアターがライブソフトウェアのショーケースとなります。スポンサーやオープンソースプロジェクト、ユーザーコミュニティからの短時間のデモンストレーションにより、オープンソースで今何が出来るかを見ることが出来ます。

'''Birds of a Feather''': 共通の関心を持った人たちによる誰でも気軽に参加できるミーティングを持つための部屋も準備します。これまでのFOSS4GのBirds of a Featherセッションは，いくつかの活発なコミュニティーの活動のきっかけとなっています。

'''コードスプリント（Code Sprint）''':
FOSS4G終了後の週末には，ハッカー（マニアックなプログラマー）のためのCode Sprintが予定されています。ハッカーは充実したインターネット環境，ピザ，コークが準備された地下室に引きこもれるぜ！（いや，もうちょっとまともだけど，ミステリアスなハッカーのイメージは壊したくないし）。

== FOSS4G 2009 Oproep voor bijdragen ==

De organisatie nodigt geïnteresseerde deelnemers uit om bijdragen in te dienen voor presentaties voor de “Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial“ conferentie (FOSS4G), die zal worden gehouden in Sydney, Australië van 20 t/m 23 Oktober 2009. FOSS4G biedt deelnemers de mogelijkheid te leren van de aanwezige expertises en/of kennis en ideeën te delen met een groep van gelijkgestemde individuele vertegenwoordigers van verschillende nationaliteiten uit een breed scala van industrieën, overheden en technologische achtergronden.

Presenteren staat open voor alle geïnteresseerden. Er is ruimte voor sessies van 30 minuten inclusief aankondiging en met 5 minuten gelegenheid voor het stellen van vragen. Presentaties zullen worden geselecteerd op basis van de mate waarin ze het "Open Geospatial" thema vertegenwoordigen. De organiserende commissie is op zoek naar een mix van technische en niet-technische presentaties.

In relatie met onderwerpen die specifiek insteken vanuit “gebruikerservaringen,” is de commissie met name op zoek naar onderwerpen zoals:
* Case Studies: Deel uw ervaringen met de implementatie en het gebruik van open source geospatial. Welke problemen probeerde u op te lossen? Hoe succesvol was uw project en tegen welke kosten? Wat kunnen anderen leren van uw ervaringen?
* Uw organisatie migreren naar open source Geospatial: Was het moeilijk om het Open Source concept te verkopen in uw organisatie? Hoe presenteerde u het concept aan het management? Op welke wijze bracht u de kosten en voordelen in kaart, hoe bouwde u de business case? Welke vooroordelen moest u overbruggen en hoe deed u dat?
* Samenwerking: Bent u de uitdagingen aangegaan van samenwerken met andere organisaties, met bedrijven of teamleden die wereldwijd verspreid werken? Welke stappen nam u om de samenwerking te optimaliseren: Gebruikte u open of defacto standaards, gedecentraliseerde data collectie of heeft u zelf specifieke oplossingen ontdekt?
* Security: Het beveiligen van gegevens zonder het gemak van toegang voor uw doelgroep te verliezen kan een uitdaging zijn. Deel uw succes en falen met anderen die ook te maken hebben met de behoefte aan goede, gedegen en bruikbare beveiliging.
* Ontwikkeling: Bent u de maker van een perfecte widget die de wereld zal veranderen? Is uw project er in geslaagd essentiële functies te implementeren? Breng ons op de hoogte van het laatste nieuws en vertel ons wat de toekomst zal brengen.

== FOSS4G 2009 Petición de resúmenes ==

El Comité Organizador quiere dar la bienvenida a todos los participantes interesados en el envío de resúmenes de presentaciones para la conferencia internacional ''Free and Open Source for Geospatial'' (FOSS4G), que tendrá lugar en Sydney, Astrualia, del 20 al 23 de octubre. FOSS4G ofrece a los participantes la oportunidad de aprender y compartir su conocimiento, experiencias e ideas con un grupo de personas interesadas en temas afines, representando un gran abanico de industrias, administraciones públicas, tecnologías y nacionalidades.

Las presentaciones están abiertas a todos los interesados y comprometen a un espacio de 30 minutos que incluye introducción, presentación y 5 minutos para preguntas. Serán seleccionadas aquellas presentaciones fuertemente enfocadas al ''software'' libre geoespacial. El comité busca presentaciones tanto técnicas como de otro tipo.

En referencia al tema central de la conferencia ''Dirigido por los usuarios'', esta es la lista de temas de particular interés:

* Casos de estudio: comparte tus experiencias implementando y usando ''software'' libre geoespacial. ¿Qué problemas intenta resolver? ¿Con qué existo y a qué coste? ¿Qué pueden aprender otros de tu experiencia?
* Promoción interna: ¿Ha tenido que vender el concepto de ''Software'' Libre en su organización? ¿Cómo presentó el concepto a los gestores? ¿Cómo presento los escenarios coste/beneficio y construyó el caso de negocio? ¿Qué obstáculos encontró y cómo los abordó?
* Colaboración: ¿Se ha encontrado con los retos de colaboración entre organizaciones, oficinas alejadas o miembros repartidos por todo el mundo? ¿Qué pasos ha tomado para mejorar la eficiencia de su colaboración?: estándares abiertos o ''de facto'', recolección de datos descentralizada, o la infinidad de soluciones que sólo usted puede describir
* Seguridad: Dar seguridad a sus datos mientras asegura la facilidad de acceso a aquellos pocos de su círculo más cercano puede ser una tarea tarea intimidadora. Comparta su éxito, y sus fallos, con otros enfrentando sus propios problemas de seguridad.
* Desarrollos: ¿Ha creado el nuevo y brillante componente que cambiará el mundo? ¿O tal vez su respetable proyecto finalmente ha completado una característica o dos? Pónganos al día con los nuevos desarrollos en su proyecto de ''softawre'' libre geoespacial: qué hace, cómo la gente lo está usando y qué tiene en la cocina para el próximo año.

Para más información, visite el sitio ''web'' del FOSS4G en http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La fecha límite para el envío de presentaciones es el 1 de junio de 2009. Nos vemos en Sydney.

=== Elementos de interés del FOSS4G 2009 ===

'''Evento de integración sobre el cambio climático''': FOSS4G lanzará el evento de integración de OGC sobre el cambio climático (CCIP), que demostrará la interoperabilidad basada en estándares entre aplicaciones geoespaciales basadas en ''software'' libre y privativo. Consisten en la utilización de servidores en diferentes máquinas virtuales, cada uno con aplicaciones geoespaciales ofreciendo servicios ''web'' basados en estándares. Todos estos servicios ''web'' mostrarán un mismo juego de datos, y serán accedos por un amplio conjunto de aplicaciones instaladas en computadoras cliente. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Se anima a los ponentes (sin compromiso) a hacer uso de escenarios y datos del CCIP. Esto es especialmente importante ya que la demanda de acceso a datos a ''Internet'' se espera que sea alta, y Autralia tiene una conexión al resto del mundo realmente lenta.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Se entregará a todos los asistentes un ''Live DVD'' basado en el sistema operativo Xubuntu incluyendo ''software'' libre geoespacial. Los usuarios podrán ejecutar el ''Live DVD'' en sus computadoras y probar el ''software'' sin necesidad de instalar nada en sus sistemas operativos. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Fiesta de instalación''': Se llevará a cabo una fiesta de instalación que proporcionará a los asistentes la oportunidad de conocerse en una zona común e instalar una gran variedad de ''software'' libre en sus portátiles, miniportátiles o cualquier otra máquina que puedan traer. Miembros de la comunidad estarán a mano para ayudar a los asistentes con cualquier problema y dar ayuda y soporte. La fiesta de instalación tendrá lugar después de los talleres del primer día.

'''Talleres y tutoriales''': Los talleres y tutoriales proporcionarán a los ponentes la oportunidad de guiar a los asistentes a través de las aplicaciones, soluciones de integración y otros temas en un entrono interactivo. Los talleres de media jornada (3 horas) tendrán lugar en salas con computadoras el primer día. Los tutoriales (90 minutos) tendrán lugar en salas de presentación normales a la vez que el resto de presentaciones durante el tercer y cuarto días.

'''Presentaciones''': La ''carne'' de la conferencia son las presentaciones. Sobre la base de una gran comunidad de expertos locales, regionales e internacionales discutiremos sobre los temas más actuales en la industria actual.

'''Sala de demostraciones''': Durante la comida y pausas para tomar un café se realizarán demostraciones en vivo de ''sotware'' en la sala de demostraciones. Este tipo de presentaciones ofrecidas por patrocinadores, proyectos de ''software'' libre y la comunidad de usuarios muestran qué es posible con ''software'' libre hoy en día.

'''''Birds of a Feather''''': Se dispondrá de salas para realizar reuniones semi-organizadas entre grupos de interés común. Algunas iniciativas importantes de la comunidad han arrancado en sesiones BoF de anteriores FOSS4G.

'''''Code Sprint''''': El fin de semana anterior al FOSS4G se ha reservado para el ''Hackers' Code Sprint''. Los desarrolladores se encerrarán en un lugar con buen ancho de banda, ''Internet'' y refrescos. (Bueno, tal vez con algo mejor que todo esto, pero no queremos desmitificar la imagen del ''hacker'' describiéndolo de otro modo).

== Appel pour les abstracts du FOSS4G 2009 ==

Le Comité d'Organisation invite tous les participants intéressés à soumettre leurs abstracts pour les présentations pour la conférence des Logiciels Libres et Open Source en Geospatial (FOSS4G) qui se tiendra à Sydney en Australie du 20 au 23 octobre. Le FOSS4G offre aux participants une opportunité d'apprendre et partager leur connaissance, expérience et idées avec des groupes d'individus d'intérêts communs représentant une large gamme d'industriels, gouvernements, technologies et nationalités.

Les présentations sont ouvertes à tous ceux qui sont intéressé et comprendra un espace de 30 minutes qui inclus hand-over, introduction et 5 mn de questions. Les présentations qui seront sélectionnées seront celles qui auront une forte liaison avec la thématique "Geospatial open source" (Open Geospatial). Le comité recherche un mélange de présentations techniques et non techniques.

Par respect pour le thème "conduit par l'utilisateur" de la conférence, les sujets particulièrement intéressant sont :
* Études de cas : Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Plaidoyer interne : Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration : Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Sécurité : Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Développements : Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

Pour des informations supplémentaires, visitez le site du FOSS4G sur http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La date limite pour la soumission des présentation est le 1er juin 2009. À bientôt à Sydney.

=== Points d'intérêts du FOSS4G ===

'''La soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP)''' : le FOSS4G lancera la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP), qui sera une démonstration d'interopérabilité entre les applications geospatiales open source et propriétaires. Un réseau de serveurs comprenant plusieurs machines virtuelles exposeront leurs applications via des services web normalisés. Cette activité sera l'occasion de voir des composants SDI à l'oeuvre et de discuter directement avec les vendeurs et développeurs des mérites des différentes approches. _http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome_

Les présentateurs sont encouragé (mais pas obligé) de réaliser des scénarios et d'utiliser des données sur site à partir de la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP). Cela est spécialement important puisque la demande de l'accès à Internet sera particulièrement élevée et que l'Australie est connu pour avoir une connection plutôt lente.

'''Live DVD FOSS4G''' : les Live DVD, basés sur un système Xubuntu et incluant des logiciels open source geospatial, seront distribués à tous les participants. Les utilisateurs peuvent démarrer un live DVD sur leur ordinateur et tester les logiciels sans les installer ou affecter leur système existant. _http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_

'''Soirée installation''' : Une activité d'installation informelle aura lieu avant le dîner et permettra aux visiteurs de se rencontrer dans une salle commune et d'installer une large gamme de logiciels FOSS sur leur portable, EEE PC ou n'importe quel autre système qu'ils auront apporté. Les membres de la communauté seront présents pour assister en cas de problème et fourniront aide et conseils sur les logiciels. La soirée installation se tiendra après les workshops, le premier jour.

'''Workshops et tutorials''' : Les ateliers et les tutoriels permettent aux présentateurs de montrer leur application, leur solution d'intégration ou d'autres sujets aux visiteurs dans un environnement interactif. Des Workshops d'une demi-journée (3 heures) se tiendront dans des salles d'informatique le premier jour. Des tutoriaux (90 minutes) se tiendront dans des salles standards de présentation, en concomitance avec les présentations durant les troisièmes et quatrièmes journées.

'''Présentations''' : Les présentations constituent le coeur de la conférence. Basé sur une large communauté d'experts locaux, régionaux et internationaux, nous discuterons des sujets les plus récent et les plus intéressants dans l'industrie.

'''Théâtre de démo''': Pendant les repas et les pauses café le théâtre de démonstration vous permettront de voir l'utilisation de logiciels en live. Ces courtes démonstrations de sponsors, projets open source et de la communauté d'utilisateurs montrera les possibilités d'aujourd'hui en open source.

'''Birds of a Feather''' : Des salles ont été réservées pour des rencontres semi-organisées de groupes (les "Birds of a Feather") ayant des intérêts communs. D'importantes initiatives de la communauté ont commencé par de simples "Birds of a Feather" à l'une ou l'autre des conférences FOSS4G.

'''Code Sprint''' : Le week-end suivant le FOSS4G est réservé pour le Sprint de codage. Les développeurs seront "enfermés" dans une salle avec une connexion internet rapide, de la pizza et du coca (eh bien, peut être quelque chose meilleur que cela, mais nous ne voulons pas entacher l'image mythique du développeur).

== FOSS4G 2009 Thư mời báo cáo ==

Ban tổ chức xin chào mừng tất cả các đại biểu tham gia gởi bài tóm tắt thuyết trình cho Hội thảo Phần mềm Tự do và Mã mở cho Địa không gian (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference - FOSS4G) sắp được tổ chức tại Syney, Úc từ 20-23 tháng mười. FOSS4G tạo cơ hội cho các đại biểu học hỏi và chia sẽ kiến thức, kinh nghiệm và ý tưởng với nhóm người đại diện cùng sở thích từ nhiều ngành, nhiều nền tảng công nghệ, nhiều quốc gia và chính phủ khác nhau.

Các bài thuyết trình được dành cho tất cả những ai quan tâm và sẽ kéo dài 30 phút bao gồm cả trình bày, giới thiệu và 5 phút đặt câu hỏi. Các bài thuyết trình sẽ được lựa chọn theo tiêu chí chủ đề “Địa không gian mở”. Ban tổ chức mong muốn nhận được bài thuyết trình cả thiên về kỹ thuật và không kỹ thuật.

Thể theo chủ đề của hội thảo là “Hướng người dùng”, các chủ đề được quan tâm bao gồm:

* Case Studies: Chia sẻ kinh nghiệm hiện thực hóa và sử dụng địa không gian mã mở. Các vấn đề đã được giải quyết? Bạn đã thành công và tiết kiệm chi phí ở mức nào? Những người khác có thể học gì từ kinh nghiệm của bạn?
* Tán thành nội bộ: Bạn đã đề xướng khái niệm mã mở cho đơn vị của mình chưa? Bạn đã trình bày khái niệm đó với nhà quản lý như thế nào? Bạn đã trình bày các lợi ích và các phân tích kinh doanh ra sao? Những rào cản nào bạn đã gặp và cách vượt qua?
* Cộng tác: Bạn đã thử sự cộng tác giữa các đơn vị, các văn phòng cách xa nhau hay giữa các thành viên nhóm rải rác khắp toàn cầu chưa? Những bước nào bạn đã làm để cải tiến tính hiệu quả của sự cộng tác đó: chuẩn mở hay chuẩn không chính thức, phân rã kho dữ liệu hay vô số các giải pháp khác mà chỉ có bạn mới có thể mô tả?
* Bảo mật: Bảo mật dữ liệu của bạn trong khi vẫn bảo đảm dễ dàng truy xuất có thể là một công việc dễ làm nản lòng. Hãy chia sẽ những thành công, thất bại của bạn với những người cũng đang đối mặt với những vấn đề bảo mật của chính họ.
* Phát triển: Bạn đã từng tạo một widget có thể thay đổi thế giới chưa? Hay dự án lâu đời của bạn cuối cùng cũng đã hoàn thành được tính năng theo yêu cầu? Hãy mang đến những phát triển cập nhật mới nhất của phần mềm địa không gian mã mở của bạn để tạo ra sự bàn tán: nó làm gì, bao nhiêu người đang dùng và năm tới nó sẽ có gì?

Để tìm hiểu thêm thông tin, hãy ghé thăm trang web FOSS4G tại http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

Hạn chót gởi bài thuyết trình là 1 tháng 6 năm 2009. Hẹn gặp ở Sydney.

=== Các nội dung nổi bật của FOSS4G 2009 bao gồm: ===

'''Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu (The Climate Change Integration Plugfest - CCIP)''': FOSS4G sẽ khởi động Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu của OGC (CCIP), ngày hội sẽ trình diễn các chuẩn dựa trên tính đồng vận hành giữa các ứng dụng địa không gian có bản quyền và mã mở. Sẽ có nhiều máy chủ với nhiều máy ảo, mỗi máy đã cài các ứng dụng địa không gian cung cấp các chuẩn dựa trên dịch vụ web (web services). Đại biểu sẽ có cơ hội xem xét các thành phần SDI và trao đổi trực tiếp với các nhà cung cấp về tính hiệu quả của các thành phần và cách tiếp cận khác nhau.
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Những người thuyết trình được khuyến khích (nhưng không bắt buộc) sử dụng các tình huống và dữ liệu trực tuyến từ Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng bởi vì nhu cầu truy cập dữ liệu trên Internet sẽ cao, nhưng Úc lại có kết nối khá chậm.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Đĩa DVD chạy sống, dựa trên hệ điều hành Xubuntu và gồm sẵn các Phần mềm Mã mở Địa không gian, sẽ được phát cho tất cả các đại biểu. Người sử dụng có thể khởi động đĩa Live DVD trên máy của mình và dùng thử phần mềm mà không cần cài hoặc làm ảnh hưởng đến hệ thống đang có.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Ngày hội cài đặt (Installfest)''': Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ diễn ra dưới hình thức thân mật trước bữa tối, sự kiện này sẽ cho các đại biểu cơ hội gặp gỡ trong một lĩnh vực chung và cài các phần mềm FOSS đa dạng trên máy tính của mình, EEE PC hoặc bất kỳ hệ thống nào mà họ mang đến. Các thành viên cộng đồng sẽ trợ giúp để khắc phục khó khăn và giúp hiểu hơn về phần mềm. Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ bắt đầu sau các bài workshop trong ngày đầu tiên.

'''Các Buổi workshop and Bài học''': Các Buổi workshop và Bài học sẽ giúp giảng viên dẫn dắt những người tham gia đi qua các ứng dụng, giải pháp tích hợp hoặc các chủ đề khác trong một môi trường tương tác. Các bài workshop nửa ngày (3 giờ) sẽ được tổ chức trong các phòng máy tính trong ngày đầu tiên. Các bài học (90 phút) sẽ được tổ chức trong phòng thuyết trình, diễn ra song song với các phần thuyết trình suốt ngày thứ ba và thứ tư của hội thảo.

'''Các bài thuyết trình''': phần hồn của hội thảo chính là các bài thuyết trình. Được dẫn dắt bởi các chuyên gia địa phương, châu lục và quốc tế, chúng ta sẽ cùng thảo luận một số chủ đề nhức nhối và cấp bách hiện nay trong ngành. Chúng ta sẽ nghe các bài thuyết trình thảo luận thẳng thắn trình bày các điểm yếu cũng như điểm mạnh, ví dụ như là cuộc đấu hiệu năng của các Máy chủ Bản đồ Web nổi tiếng.

'''Trình diễn Demo''': Trong thời gian ăn trưa và nghỉ giải lao, các phần mềm sẽ được trình diễn demo. Các phần demo ngắn từ các nhà tài trợ, các dự án mã mở và cộng đồng người dùng sẽ cho thấy khả năng của mã nguồn mở ngày nay.

'''Hội những người cùng sở thích (Birds of a Feather)''': Ban tổ chức dành các phòng cho các cuộc họp không chính thức giữa những nhóm cùng quan điểm. Một vài khởi xướng, ý tưởng cộng đồng đáng chú ý đã được bắt đầu trước cả phần FOSS4G Birds of a Feather.

'''Tỷ thí viết code (Code Sprint)''': Thời điểm cuối tuần sau hội thảo FOSS4G sẽ được dành cho Cuộc tỷ thí của các “hacker” (chú thích: nghĩa bóng, ý nói những người thích vọc công nghệ). Các “hacker” sẽ được đưa vào một hội trường với băng thông mạng lớn, pizza và bánh ngọt. (Còn có thể có nhiều thứ tốt hơn thế nữa, nhưng chúng tôi không muốn làm hỏng đi hình ảnh bí hiểm của “hacker”).

FOSS4G 2009 – More than an international Geospatial Open Source Conference

The conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G)
will be held from 20-23 October, 2009 in Sydney, Australia.
_http://2009.foss4g.org <http://2009.foss4g.org/>_

Growing out of regional Open Source community meetings, the FOSS4G B
conference has been reborn in recent years as a meeting place for
international geospatial experts to gather and discuss the problems and
opportunities of the day. With themes ranging from the integration of
Open Source with Proprietary systems to the building of Spatial Data
Infrastructures and application of Open Geospatial Standards, the
conference offers a unique opportunity to tap into the wealth of
knowledge and experience available among the Open Source developers,
sponsors and geospatial professionals of all persuasions.

Highlights from FOSS4G 2009 include:

*The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP)*: FOSS4G will launch the
OGC's Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates
standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary
geospatial applications. It consists of servers with multiple virtual
machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards
based web services. There will be many opportunities to review SDI
components, and talk directly to vendors and implementers about the
effectiveness of different approaches and components.

_http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome_

*FOSS4G Live DVD*: Live DVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and
including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all
delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the
software without installing or affecting the existing system.

_http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_

*Installfest*: The informal Installfest pre-dinner slot will give
delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide
variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEE PC or any other system they
care to bring in. Community members will be on hand to assist with any
troubles and provide help and insight into the software.

*Workshops and Tutorials*: Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to
lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other
topics in an interactive environment.

*Presentations*: The meat of the conference is its presentations.
Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts
we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the
industry today. Expect to hear honest presentations discussing
weaknesses as well as strengths, like the famous Web Map Server
performance shootout.

*Birds of a Feather*: Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised
meetings between like minded groups. Some prominent community
initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.

*Code Sprint*: The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers'
Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of
bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but
we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image).

FOSS4G 2009 - Plus qu'une conférence internationnale de géomatique Open Source

La conférence des logiciels libres et Open Source pour la géomatique (FOOS4G) se tiendra du 20 au 23 octobre 2009 à Sydney, Australie.
_http://2009.foss4g.org <http://2009.foss4g.org/>_

Issue des rencontres régionales de la communauté Open Source, la conférence FOSS4G est devenue au fil des années le lieu de rencontre des experts internationaux en géomatique pour discuter des problèmes et sujets de l'heure. Avec des thèmes allant de l'intégration des systèmes Open Source et propriétaires jusqu'à la construction d'infrastructures de données spatiales et d'applications informatiques suivant les normes de l'OGC, la conférence offre une occasion unique de puiser dans la richesse des connaissances et des expériences disponibles auprès de la multitude de développeurs Open Source, de commanditaires et de professionnels en géomatique.

Les points d'intérêts du FOSS4G incluent :

'''La soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP)''' : le FOSS4G lancera la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP), qui sera une démonstration d'interopérabilité entre les applications geospatiales open source et propriétaires. Un réseau de serveurs comprenant plusieurs machines virtuelles exposeront leurs applications via des services web normalisés. Cette activité sera l'occasion de voir des composants SDI à l'oeuvre et de discuter directement avec les vendeurs et développeurs des mérites des différentes approches.

'''Workshops et tutorials''' : Les ateliers et les tutoriels permettent aux présentateurs de montrer leur application, leur solution d'intégration ou d'autres sujets aux visiteurs dans un environnement interactif.

'''Présentations''' : Les présentations constituent le coeur de la conférence. Basé sur une large communauté d'experts locaux, régionaux et internationaux, nous discuterons des sujets les plus récent et les plus intéressants dans l'industrie. Au menu, des prestations sans complaisance sur les forces et les faiblesses des divers logiciels, dont la célèbre comparaison des serveurs de cartes web.

'''Birds of a Feather''' : Des salles ont été réservées pour des rencontres semi-organisées de groupes (les "Birds of a Feather") ayant des intérêts communs. D'importantes initiatives de la communauté ont commencé par de simples "Birds of a Feather" à l'une ou l'autre des conférences FOSS4G.

'''Code Sprint''' : Le week-end suivant le FOSS4G est réservé pour le Sprint de codage. Les développeurs seront "enfermés" dans une salle avec une connexion internet rapide, de la pizza et du coca (eh bien, peut être quelque chose meilleur que cela, mais nous ne voulons pas entâcher l'image mythique du développeur).

Những người thuyết trình được khuyến khích (nhưng không bắt buộc) sử dụng các tình huống và dữ liệu trực tuyến từ Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng bởi vì nhu cầu truy cập dữ liệu trên Internet sẽ cao, nhưng Úc lại có kết nối khá chậm.

* '''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Đĩa DVD chạy sống, dựa trên hệ điều hành Xubuntu và gồm sẵn các Phần mềm Mã mở Địa không gian, sẽ được phát cho tất cả các đại biểu. Người sử dụng có thể khởi động đĩa Live DVD trên máy của mình và dùng thử phần mềm mà không cần cài hoặc làm ảnh hưởng đến hệ thống đang có.

* '''Ngày hội cài đặt (Installfest)''': Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ diễn ra dưới hình thức thân mật trước bữa tối, sự kiện này sẽ cho các đại biểu cơ hội gặp gỡ trong một lĩnh vực chung và cài các phần mềm FOSS đa dạng trên máy tính của mình, EEE PC hoặc bất kỳ hệ thống nào mà họ mang đến. Các thành viên cộng đồng sẽ trợ giúp để khắc phục khó khăn và giúp hiểu hơn về phần mềm. Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ bắt đầu sau các bài workshop trong ngày đầu tiên.

* '''Các Buổi workshop and Bài học''': Các Buổi workshop và Bài học sẽ giúp giảng viên dẫn dắt những người tham gia đi qua các ứng dụng, giải pháp tích hợp hoặc các chủ đề khác trong một môi trường tương tác. Các bài workshop nửa ngày (3 giờ) sẽ được tổ chức trong các phòng máy tính trong ngày đầu tiên. Các bài học (90 phút) sẽ được tổ chức trong phòng thuyết trình, diễn ra song song với các phần thuyết trình suốt ngày thứ ba và thứ tư của hội thảo.

* '''Các bài thuyết trình''': phần hồn của hội thảo chính là các bài thuyết trình. Được dẫn dắt bởi các chuyên gia địa phương, châu lục và quốc tế, chúng ta sẽ cùng thảo luận một số chủ đề nhức nhối và cấp bách hiện nay trong ngành. Chúng ta sẽ nghe các bài thuyết trình thảo luận thẳng thắn trình bày các điểm yếu cũng như điểm mạnh, ví dụ như là cuộc đấu hiệu năng của các Máy chủ Bản đồ Web nổi tiếng.

* '''Trình diễn Demo''': Trong thời gian ăn trưa và nghỉ giải lao, các phần mềm sẽ được trình diễn demo. Các phần demo ngắn từ các nhà tài trợ, các dự án mã mở và cộng đồng người dùng sẽ cho thấy khả năng của mã nguồn mở ngày nay.

* '''Hội những người cùng sở thích (Birds of a Feather)''': Ban tổ chức dành các phòng cho các cuộc họp không chính thức giữa những nhóm cùng quan điểm. Một vài khởi xướng, ý tưởng cộng đồng đáng chú ý đã được bắt đầu trước cả phần FOSS4G Birds of a Feather.

* '''Tỷ thí viết code (Code Sprint)''': Thời điểm cuối tuần sau hội thảo FOSS4G sẽ được dành cho Cuộc tỷ thí của các “hacker” (chú thích: nghĩa bóng, ý nói những người thích vọc công nghệ). Các “hacker” sẽ được đưa vào một hội trường với băng thông mạng lớn, pizza và bánh ngọt. (Còn có thể có nhiều thứ tốt hơn thế nữa, nhưng chúng tôi không muốn làm hỏng đi hình ảnh bí hiểm của “hacker”).

== FOSS4G 2009 Call for Abstracts ==

The Organising Committee would like to welcome all interested participants to submit abstracts for presentations for the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. FOSS4G offers participants an opportunity to learn from and share your knowledge, experience and ideas with a group of like minded individuals representing a wide array of industries, governments, technologies and nationalities.

Presentations are open to all those interested and will comprise a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. The committee is looking for a mixture of technical and non-technical presentations.

In deference to the conference theme of “User Driven,” topics of particular interest are:
* Case Studies: Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Internal Advocacy: Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration: Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Security: Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Developments: Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

For more information, visit the FOSS4G site at http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

The deadline for presentation submissions is June 1st 2009. See you in Sydney.

===FOSS4G 2009 Highlights===
'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G will launch the OGC's Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios and on-site data from the Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). This is especially important as demand for access to data over the internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow connections to the outside world.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the software without installing or effecting the existing system. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Installfest''': The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEE PC or any other system they care to bring in. Community members will be around to assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the software. The install fest will take place after workshops on the first day.

'''Workshops and Tutorials''': Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours) will be held in computer rooms on the first day. Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations during the third and fourth days.

'''Presentations''': The meat of the conference are it's presentations. Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the industry today.

'''Demo Theatre''': During lunch and coffee breaks the demonstration theatre will be showcasing live software. These short demonstrations from sponsors, open source projects and the user community show what is possible with open source today.

'''Birds of a Feather''': Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised meetings between like minded groups. Some prominant community initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.

'''Code Sprint''': The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image by describing it any differently.)

===FOSS4G 2009のハイライト===
'''気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP：The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest ）''': FOSS4Gでは，OGC 気候変動統合プラグフェスト（CCIP）を開始する予定です。これは，標準に準拠することにより，オープンソースとオープンソースでない地理空間アプリケーションの相互運用を実演するものです。 CCIPは，それぞれに標準に準拠したWebサービスを提供する地理空間アプリケーションを含んだ，複数のヴァーチャル・マシーンが走るサーバーにより構成されます。全てのWebサービスは共通のデータセットをデモし、クライアント側のコンピュータにインストールされた一連の地理空間クライアントアプリケーションからアクセスされます。
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

発表者はCCIPからのシナリオとデータを活用することが推奨されます（強制ではありません）。これがとりわけ重要なのは、インターネットを介してデータにアクセスする需要が高いことが予想されるためと、オーストラリアの外部への接続が遅いことで悪名高いからです。

'''FOSS4GライブDVD（FOSS4G Live DVD）''': Xubuntuを用い，地理空間オープンソースソフトウェアが動作する，Live DVDが全ての参加者に配布されます。ユーザーはLive DVDを使ってPCを起動することにより，インストールや既存システムを変更することなく，ソフトウェアを試用することができます。 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''インストールフェスト（Installfest）''': インストールフェストでは，参加者が集まり，持参したラップトップやネットブック（EEE PC），その他のシステムに各種のFOSSをインストールすることができます。コミュニティーのメンバーが，あらゆるトラブルのサポート役になり，ソフトウェアについての助言と知識を与えてくれます。インストールフェストは初日のワークショップの終了後に開催されます。

'''ワークショップとチュートリアル（Workshops and Tutorials）''': ワークショップとチュートリアルでは、発表者が，アプリケーションの利用法，統合的ソリューション，その他のトピックについて，参加者に説明することが可能です。半日（3時間）のワークショップが初日にコンピュータルームで開催されます。チュートリアル（90分）は通常のプレゼンテーションルームで開催され、3日目と4日目にはプレゼンテーションと同時の開催となります。

'''プレゼンテーション（Presentations）''': 会議の主題はプレゼンテーションです。多くのローカル，地域，国際的なコミュニティーから専門家が参加するので，この業界で今，最も斬新で面白い話題について論議がされます。

'''デモシアター（Demo Theatre）''': ランチとコーヒーブレークの間、デモシアターがライブソフトウェアのショーケースとなります。スポンサーやオープンソースプロジェクト、ユーザーコミュニティからの短時間のデモンストレーションにより、オープンソースで今何が出来るかを見ることが出来ます。

'''Birds of a Feather''': 共通の関心を持った人たちによる誰でも気軽に参加できるミーティングを持つための部屋も準備します。これまでのFOSS4GのBirds of a Featherセッションは，いくつかの活発なコミュニティーの活動のきっかけとなっています。

'''コードスプリント（Code Sprint）''':
FOSS4G終了後の週末には，ハッカー（マニアックなプログラマー）のためのCode Sprintが予定されています。ハッカーは充実したインターネット環境，ピザ，コークが準備された地下室に引きこもれるぜ！（いや，もうちょっとまともだけど，ミステリアスなハッカーのイメージは壊したくないし）。

== FOSS4G 2009 Oproep voor bijdragen ==

De organisatie nodigt geïnteresseerde deelnemers uit om bijdragen in te dienen voor presentaties voor de “Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial“ conferentie (FOSS4G), die zal worden gehouden in Sydney, Australië van 20 t/m 23 Oktober 2009. FOSS4G biedt deelnemers de mogelijkheid te leren van de aanwezige expertises en/of kennis en ideeën te delen met een groep van gelijkgestemde individuele vertegenwoordigers van verschillende nationaliteiten uit een breed scala van industrieën, overheden en technologische achtergronden.

Presenteren staat open voor alle geïnteresseerden. Er is ruimte voor sessies van 30 minuten inclusief aankondiging en met 5 minuten gelegenheid voor het stellen van vragen. Presentaties zullen worden geselecteerd op basis van de mate waarin ze het "Open Geospatial" thema vertegenwoordigen. De organiserende commissie is op zoek naar een mix van technische en niet-technische presentaties.

In relatie met onderwerpen die specifiek insteken vanuit “gebruikerservaringen,” is de commissie met name op zoek naar onderwerpen zoals:
* Case Studies: Deel uw ervaringen met de implementatie en het gebruik van open source geospatial. Welke problemen probeerde u op te lossen? Hoe succesvol was uw project en tegen welke kosten? Wat kunnen anderen leren van uw ervaringen?
* Uw organisatie migreren naar open source Geospatial: Was het moeilijk om het Open Source concept te verkopen in uw organisatie? Hoe presenteerde u het concept aan het management? Op welke wijze bracht u de kosten en voordelen in kaart, hoe bouwde u de business case? Welke vooroordelen moest u overbruggen en hoe deed u dat?
* Samenwerking: Bent u de uitdagingen aangegaan van samenwerken met andere organisaties, met bedrijven of teamleden die wereldwijd verspreid werken? Welke stappen nam u om de samenwerking te optimaliseren: Gebruikte u open of defacto standaards, gedecentraliseerde data collectie of heeft u zelf specifieke oplossingen ontdekt?
* Security: Het beveiligen van gegevens zonder het gemak van toegang voor uw doelgroep te verliezen kan een uitdaging zijn. Deel uw succes en falen met anderen die ook te maken hebben met de behoefte aan goede, gedegen en bruikbare beveiliging.
* Ontwikkeling: Bent u de maker van een perfecte widget die de wereld zal veranderen? Is uw project er in geslaagd essentiële functies te implementeren? Breng ons op de hoogte van het laatste nieuws en vertel ons wat de toekomst zal brengen.

== FOSS4G 2009 Petición de resúmenes ==

El Comité Organizador quiere dar la bienvenida a todos los participantes interesados en el envío de resúmenes de presentaciones para la conferencia internacional ''Free and Open Source for Geospatial'' (FOSS4G), que tendrá lugar en Sydney, Astrualia, del 20 al 23 de octubre. FOSS4G ofrece a los participantes la oportunidad de aprender y compartir su conocimiento, experiencias e ideas con un grupo de personas interesadas en temas afines, representando un gran abanico de industrias, administraciones públicas, tecnologías y nacionalidades.

Las presentaciones están abiertas a todos los interesados y comprometen a un espacio de 30 minutos que incluye introducción, presentación y 5 minutos para preguntas. Serán seleccionadas aquellas presentaciones fuertemente enfocadas al ''software'' libre geoespacial. El comité busca presentaciones tanto técnicas como de otro tipo.

En referencia al tema central de la conferencia ''Dirigido por los usuarios'', esta es la lista de temas de particular interés:

* Casos de estudio: comparte tus experiencias implementando y usando ''software'' libre geoespacial. ¿Qué problemas intenta resolver? ¿Con qué existo y a qué coste? ¿Qué pueden aprender otros de tu experiencia?
* Promoción interna: ¿Ha tenido que vender el concepto de ''Software'' Libre en su organización? ¿Cómo presentó el concepto a los gestores? ¿Cómo presento los escenarios coste/beneficio y construyó el caso de negocio? ¿Qué obstáculos encontró y cómo los abordó?
* Colaboración: ¿Se ha encontrado con los retos de colaboración entre organizaciones, oficinas alejadas o miembros repartidos por todo el mundo? ¿Qué pasos ha tomado para mejorar la eficiencia de su colaboración?: estándares abiertos o ''de facto'', recolección de datos descentralizada, o la infinidad de soluciones que sólo usted puede describir
* Seguridad: Dar seguridad a sus datos mientras asegura la facilidad de acceso a aquellos pocos de su círculo más cercano puede ser una tarea tarea intimidadora. Comparta su éxito, y sus fallos, con otros enfrentando sus propios problemas de seguridad.
* Desarrollos: ¿Ha creado el nuevo y brillante componente que cambiará el mundo? ¿O tal vez su respetable proyecto finalmente ha completado una característica o dos? Pónganos al día con los nuevos desarrollos en su proyecto de ''softawre'' libre geoespacial: qué hace, cómo la gente lo está usando y qué tiene en la cocina para el próximo año.

Para más información, visite el sitio ''web'' del FOSS4G en http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La fecha límite para el envío de presentaciones es el 1 de junio de 2009. Nos vemos en Sydney.

=== Elementos de interés del FOSS4G 2009 ===

'''Evento de integración sobre el cambio climático''': FOSS4G lanzará el evento de integración de OGC sobre el cambio climático (CCIP), que demostrará la interoperabilidad basada en estándares entre aplicaciones geoespaciales basadas en ''software'' libre y privativo. Consisten en la utilización de servidores en diferentes máquinas virtuales, cada uno con aplicaciones geoespaciales ofreciendo servicios ''web'' basados en estándares. Todos estos servicios ''web'' mostrarán un mismo juego de datos, y serán accedos por un amplio conjunto de aplicaciones instaladas en computadoras cliente. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Se anima a los ponentes (sin compromiso) a hacer uso de escenarios y datos del CCIP. Esto es especialmente importante ya que la demanda de acceso a datos a ''Internet'' se espera que sea alta, y Autralia tiene una conexión al resto del mundo realmente lenta.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Se entregará a todos los asistentes un ''Live DVD'' basado en el sistema operativo Xubuntu incluyendo ''software'' libre geoespacial. Los usuarios podrán ejecutar el ''Live DVD'' en sus computadoras y probar el ''software'' sin necesidad de instalar nada en sus sistemas operativos. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Fiesta de instalación''': Se llevará a cabo una fiesta de instalación que proporcionará a los asistentes la oportunidad de conocerse en una zona común e instalar una gran variedad de ''software'' libre en sus portátiles, miniportátiles o cualquier otra máquina que puedan traer. Miembros de la comunidad estarán a mano para ayudar a los asistentes con cualquier problema y dar ayuda y soporte. La fiesta de instalación tendrá lugar después de los talleres del primer día.

'''Talleres y tutoriales''': Los talleres y tutoriales proporcionarán a los ponentes la oportunidad de guiar a los asistentes a través de las aplicaciones, soluciones de integración y otros temas en un entrono interactivo. Los talleres de media jornada (3 horas) tendrán lugar en salas con computadoras el primer día. Los tutoriales (90 minutos) tendrán lugar en salas de presentación normales a la vez que el resto de presentaciones durante el tercer y cuarto días.

'''Presentaciones''': La ''carne'' de la conferencia son las presentaciones. Sobre la base de una gran comunidad de expertos locales, regionales e internacionales discutiremos sobre los temas más actuales en la industria actual.

'''Sala de demostraciones''': Durante la comida y pausas para tomar un café se realizarán demostraciones en vivo de ''sotware'' en la sala de demostraciones. Este tipo de presentaciones ofrecidas por patrocinadores, proyectos de ''software'' libre y la comunidad de usuarios muestran qué es posible con ''software'' libre hoy en día.

'''''Birds of a Feather''''': Se dispondrá de salas para realizar reuniones semi-organizadas entre grupos de interés común. Algunas iniciativas importantes de la comunidad han arrancado en sesiones BoF de anteriores FOSS4G.

'''''Code Sprint''''': El fin de semana anterior al FOSS4G se ha reservado para el ''Hackers' Code Sprint''. Los desarrolladores se encerrarán en un lugar con buen ancho de banda, ''Internet'' y refrescos. (Bueno, tal vez con algo mejor que todo esto, pero no queremos desmitificar la imagen del ''hacker'' describiéndolo de otro modo).

== Appel pour les abstracts du FOSS4G 2009 ==

Le Comité d'Organisation invite tous les participants intéressés à soumettre leurs abstracts pour les présentations pour la conférence des Logiciels Libres et Open Source en Geospatial (FOSS4G) qui se tiendra à Sydney en Australie du 20 au 23 octobre. Le FOSS4G offre aux participants une opportunité d'apprendre et partager leur connaissance, expérience et idées avec des groupes d'individus d'intérêts communs représentant une large gamme d'industriels, gouvernements, technologies et nationalités.

Les présentations sont ouvertes à tous ceux qui sont intéressé et comprendra un espace de 30 minutes qui inclus hand-over, introduction et 5 mn de questions. Les présentations qui seront sélectionnées seront celles qui auront une forte liaison avec la thématique "Geospatial open source" (Open Geospatial). Le comité recherche un mélange de présentations techniques et non techniques.

Par respect pour le thème "conduit par l'utilisateur" de la conférence, les sujets particulièrement intéressant sont :
* Études de cas : Share your experiences implementing and using open source geospatial. What problems were you attempting to solve? How successful were you and at what cost? What can others learn from your experience?
* Plaidoyer interne : Have you had to sell the Open Source concept within your organisation? How did you present the concept to management? How did you present the cost/benefit scenarios and build the business case? What hurdles did you encounter and how did you surmount them?
* Collaboration : Have you faced the trials of collaboration between organisations, remote offices or team members scattered to the far corners of the globe? What steps have you taken to improve the efficiency of your collaboration: open or de facto standards, decentralised data collection, or the myriad of solutions that only you could describe?
* Sécurité : Securing you data while ensuring ease of access to those select few within your inner circle can be a daunting task. Share you successes, and your failures, with others facing their own security issues.
* Développements : Have you created a shiny new widget that is about to change the world? Or has your time-honoured project finally completed a much requested feature or two? Bring us up to date with the new developments in your open source geospatial software products with all the latest buzz: what does it do, how are people using it and what is in store for the next year.

Pour des informations supplémentaires, visitez le site du FOSS4G sur http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

La date limite pour la soumission des présentation est le 1er juin 2009. À bientôt à Sydney.

=== Points d'intérêts du FOSS4G ===

'''La soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP)''' : le FOSS4G lancera la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP), qui sera une démonstration d'interopérabilité entre les applications geospatiales open source et propriétaires. Un réseau de serveurs comprenant plusieurs machines virtuelles exposeront leurs applications via des services web normalisés. Cette activité sera l'occasion de voir des composants SDI à l'oeuvre et de discuter directement avec les vendeurs et développeurs des mérites des différentes approches. _http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome_

Les présentateurs sont encouragé (mais pas obligé) de réaliser des scénarios et d'utiliser des données sur site à partir de la soirée d'intégration des changements climatiques (CCIP). Cela est spécialement important puisque la demande de l'accès à Internet sera particulièrement élevée et que l'Australie est connu pour avoir une connection plutôt lente.

'''Live DVD FOSS4G''' : les Live DVD, basés sur un système Xubuntu et incluant des logiciels open source geospatial, seront distribués à tous les participants. Les utilisateurs peuvent démarrer un live DVD sur leur ordinateur et tester les logiciels sans les installer ou affecter leur système existant. _http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_

'''Soirée installation''' : Une activité d'installation informelle aura lieu avant le dîner et permettra aux visiteurs de se rencontrer dans une salle commune et d'installer une large gamme de logiciels FOSS sur leur portable, EEE PC ou n'importe quel autre système qu'ils auront apporté. Les membres de la communauté seront présents pour assister en cas de problème et fourniront aide et conseils sur les logiciels. La soirée installation se tiendra après les workshops, le premier jour.

'''Workshops et tutorials''' : Les ateliers et les tutoriels permettent aux présentateurs de montrer leur application, leur solution d'intégration ou d'autres sujets aux visiteurs dans un environnement interactif. Des Workshops d'une demi-journée (3 heures) se tiendront dans des salles d'informatique le premier jour. Des tutoriaux (90 minutes) se tiendront dans des salles standards de présentation, en concomitance avec les présentations durant les troisièmes et quatrièmes journées.

'''Présentations''' : Les présentations constituent le coeur de la conférence. Basé sur une large communauté d'experts locaux, régionaux et internationaux, nous discuterons des sujets les plus récent et les plus intéressants dans l'industrie.

'''Théâtre de démo''': Pendant les repas et les pauses café le théâtre de démonstration vous permettront de voir l'utilisation de logiciels en live. Ces courtes démonstrations de sponsors, projets open source et de la communauté d'utilisateurs montrera les possibilités d'aujourd'hui en open source.

'''Birds of a Feather''' : Des salles ont été réservées pour des rencontres semi-organisées de groupes (les "Birds of a Feather") ayant des intérêts communs. D'importantes initiatives de la communauté ont commencé par de simples "Birds of a Feather" à l'une ou l'autre des conférences FOSS4G.

'''Code Sprint''' : Le week-end suivant le FOSS4G est réservé pour le Sprint de codage. Les développeurs seront "enfermés" dans une salle avec une connexion internet rapide, de la pizza et du coca (eh bien, peut être quelque chose meilleur que cela, mais nous ne voulons pas entacher l'image mythique du développeur).

== FOSS4G 2009 Thư mời báo cáo ==

Ban tổ chức xin chào mừng tất cả các đại biểu tham gia gởi bài tóm tắt thuyết trình cho Hội thảo Phần mềm Tự do và Mã mở cho Địa không gian (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference - FOSS4G) sắp được tổ chức tại Syney, Úc từ 20-23 tháng mười. FOSS4G tạo cơ hội cho các đại biểu học hỏi và chia sẽ kiến thức, kinh nghiệm và ý tưởng với nhóm người đại diện cùng sở thích từ nhiều ngành, nhiều nền tảng công nghệ, nhiều quốc gia và chính phủ khác nhau.

Các bài thuyết trình được dành cho tất cả những ai quan tâm và sẽ kéo dài 30 phút bao gồm cả trình bày, giới thiệu và 5 phút đặt câu hỏi. Các bài thuyết trình sẽ được lựa chọn theo tiêu chí chủ đề “Địa không gian mở”. Ban tổ chức mong muốn nhận được bài thuyết trình cả thiên về kỹ thuật và không kỹ thuật.

Thể theo chủ đề của hội thảo là “Hướng người dùng”, các chủ đề được quan tâm bao gồm:

* Case Studies: Chia sẻ kinh nghiệm hiện thực hóa và sử dụng địa không gian mã mở. Các vấn đề đã được giải quyết? Bạn đã thành công và tiết kiệm chi phí ở mức nào? Những người khác có thể học gì từ kinh nghiệm của bạn?
* Tán thành nội bộ: Bạn đã đề xướng khái niệm mã mở cho đơn vị của mình chưa? Bạn đã trình bày khái niệm đó với nhà quản lý như thế nào? Bạn đã trình bày các lợi ích và các phân tích kinh doanh ra sao? Những rào cản nào bạn đã gặp và cách vượt qua?
* Cộng tác: Bạn đã thử sự cộng tác giữa các đơn vị, các văn phòng cách xa nhau hay giữa các thành viên nhóm rải rác khắp toàn cầu chưa? Những bước nào bạn đã làm để cải tiến tính hiệu quả của sự cộng tác đó: chuẩn mở hay chuẩn không chính thức, phân rã kho dữ liệu hay vô số các giải pháp khác mà chỉ có bạn mới có thể mô tả?
* Bảo mật: Bảo mật dữ liệu của bạn trong khi vẫn bảo đảm dễ dàng truy xuất có thể là một công việc dễ làm nản lòng. Hãy chia sẽ những thành công, thất bại của bạn với những người cũng đang đối mặt với những vấn đề bảo mật của chính họ.
* Phát triển: Bạn đã từng tạo một widget có thể thay đổi thế giới chưa? Hay dự án lâu đời của bạn cuối cùng cũng đã hoàn thành được tính năng theo yêu cầu? Hãy mang đến những phát triển cập nhật mới nhất của phần mềm địa không gian mã mở của bạn để tạo ra sự bàn tán: nó làm gì, bao nhiêu người đang dùng và năm tới nó sẽ có gì?

Để tìm hiểu thêm thông tin, hãy ghé thăm trang web FOSS4G tại http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

Hạn chót gởi bài thuyết trình là 1 tháng 6 năm 2009. Hẹn gặp ở Sydney.

=== Các nội dung nổi bật của FOSS4G 2009 bao gồm: ===

'''Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu (The Climate Change Integration Plugfest - CCIP)''': FOSS4G sẽ khởi động Ngày hội Tích hợp Thay đổi Khí hậu của OGC (CCIP), ngày hội sẽ trình diễn các chuẩn dựa trên tính đồng vận hành giữa các ứng dụng địa không gian có bản quyền và mã mở. Sẽ có nhiều máy chủ với nhiều máy ảo, mỗi máy đã cài các ứng dụng địa không gian cung cấp các chuẩn dựa trên dịch vụ web (web services). Đại biểu sẽ có cơ hội xem xét các thành phần SDI và trao đổi trực tiếp với các nhà cung cấp về tính hiệu quả của các thành phần và cách tiếp cận khác nhau.
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

Những người thuyết trình được khuyến khích (nhưng không bắt buộc) sử dụng các tình huống và dữ liệu trực tuyến từ Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP). Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng bởi vì nhu cầu truy cập dữ liệu trên Internet sẽ cao, nhưng Úc lại có kết nối khá chậm.

'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': Đĩa DVD chạy sống, dựa trên hệ điều hành Xubuntu và gồm sẵn các Phần mềm Mã mở Địa không gian, sẽ được phát cho tất cả các đại biểu. Người sử dụng có thể khởi động đĩa Live DVD trên máy của mình và dùng thử phần mềm mà không cần cài hoặc làm ảnh hưởng đến hệ thống đang có.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc

'''Ngày hội cài đặt (Installfest)''': Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ diễn ra dưới hình thức thân mật trước bữa tối, sự kiện này sẽ cho các đại biểu cơ hội gặp gỡ trong một lĩnh vực chung và cài các phần mềm FOSS đa dạng trên máy tính của mình, EEE PC hoặc bất kỳ hệ thống nào mà họ mang đến. Các thành viên cộng đồng sẽ trợ giúp để khắc phục khó khăn và giúp hiểu hơn về phần mềm. Ngày hội cài đặt sẽ bắt đầu sau các bài workshop trong ngày đầu tiên.

'''Các Buổi workshop and Bài học''': Các Buổi workshop và Bài học sẽ giúp giảng viên dẫn dắt những người tham gia đi qua các ứng dụng, giải pháp tích hợp hoặc các chủ đề khác trong một môi trường tương tác. Các bài workshop nửa ngày (3 giờ) sẽ được tổ chức trong các phòng máy tính trong ngày đầu tiên. Các bài học (90 phút) sẽ được tổ chức trong phòng thuyết trình, diễn ra song song với các phần thuyết trình suốt ngày thứ ba và thứ tư của hội thảo.

'''Các bài thuyết trình''': phần hồn của hội thảo chính là các bài thuyết trình. Được dẫn dắt bởi các chuyên gia địa phương, châu lục và quốc tế, chúng ta sẽ cùng thảo luận một số chủ đề nhức nhối và cấp bách hiện nay trong ngành. Chúng ta sẽ nghe các bài thuyết trình thảo luận thẳng thắn trình bày các điểm yếu cũng như điểm mạnh, ví dụ như là cuộc đấu hiệu năng của các Máy chủ Bản đồ Web nổi tiếng.

'''Trình diễn Demo''': Trong thời gian ăn trưa và nghỉ giải lao, các phần mềm sẽ được trình diễn demo. Các phần demo ngắn từ các nhà tài trợ, các dự án mã mở và cộng đồng người dùng sẽ cho thấy khả năng của mã nguồn mở ngày nay.

'''''Hội những người cùng sở thích (Birds of a Feather)''''': Ban tổ chức dành các phòng cho các cuộc họp không chính thức giữa những nhóm cùng quan điểm. Một vài khởi xướng, ý tưởng cộng đồng đáng chú ý đã được bắt đầu trước cả phần FOSS4G Birds of a Feather.

'''''Tỷ thí viết code (Code Sprint)''''': Thời điểm cuối tuần sau hội thảo FOSS4G sẽ được dành cho Cuộc tỷ thí của các “hacker” (chú thích: nghĩa bóng, ý nói những người thích vọc công nghệ). Các “hacker” sẽ được đưa vào một hội trường với băng thông mạng lớn, pizza và bánh ngọt. (Còn có thể có nhiều thứ tốt hơn thế nữa, nhưng chúng tôi không muốn làm hỏng đi hình ảnh bí hiểm của “hacker”).

== Overview ==
This is not a formal OSGeo project, just a spot for a few OSGeo folks to share some ideas.
The idea is to elaborate foundations of design and implementation of [http://www.opensource.org Open Source] GIS application(s) for mobile devices. The homepage for this project can be found at [http://mobile.maptools.org/ Mobile GIS]. If you have any comments about the homepage, please visit the [http://mobile.maptools.org/index.phtml?page=mailinglist.html Mobile GIS Support] page, and post/subscribe to the mailing list.

Our main objectives are to discuss:
* principles of mobile software design
* high usable User Interface on mobile devices
* key functions automation
* usage of latest communication techniques
* portability

== Mobile GIS project ==

Homepage: http://mobile.maptools.org/

== Hardware ==

Mobile GIS will be made to work on a variety of hardware platforms. It should be usable on desktop systems, laptops, tablet PCs, and other various pocket computers. Support for cell phones with Java capability is also an option.

''TODO: List pros/cons for devices on which Mobile GIS can be run.''

== Operating Systems / Platforms ==

This section is devoted to discuss features as well as pros and cons (+/-) of various mobile operating systems and software platforms.

From [http://www.openembedded.org/project-overview OpenEmbedded Overview]:

''OpenEmbedded is a full-featured development environment allowing users to target a wide variety of devices.(...)OpenEmbedded is a tool which allows developers to create a fully usable Linux base for various embedded systems. It has been designed to be able to handle different hardware architectures, support multiple releases for those architectures, and utilize tools for speeding up the process of recreating the base after changes have been made. Currently it can run on any Linux distribution, and plans are in place to allow it to work under Windows.''

'''Note:''' Familiar's Linux distribution is entirely based on OpenEmbedded system.

'''Note:''' ''Please, feel free to extend the list of features here.''

'''Question:''' ''What do you think about rank features listed in this brainstorm section? It could be achived by putting asterix (*) next to features you think are important. Any other ideas?''

This section is devoted to a summary of our discussion on the OSGeo mailing list.
List of ideas of Open Source Mobile GIS features:

* User Interface
** configurable UI: turn on/off UI elements, switch to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiosk_software kiosk mode]
** create a wizard type tool for the desktop (for example in [http://www.qgis.org QGIS]) to create data collection forms, etc. to be transported to the handheld device (similar to as [http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcpad-appbldr/about/forms.html ArcPad Forms])
** binding UI action to hardware elements, for example zooming with hardware keys or scrolls
** use of voice capabilities
*** ask for operation confirmations (Yes, No, Cancel) and accept answering by speech recognition or by pushing hardware keys
** use of LEDs, for example to indicate states of various operations: GPS location accuracy/low PDOP, edited layer has not been saved, no network connection, synchronization is in progress, catching tracklog/feature vertices with GPS, etc.
** Internationalization
** Client UI should have an option for a 'simplified' UI, so that those with less computer experience can still use the software effectively. Advanced option can be used by those with more experience/who need the most functionality from the client.

* GIS functionality
** map tools: zoom-in, zoom-out, pan
** integration of map and attributes database
** data query tool
** features editing
*** automated and configurable functions like: snapping, polygon closing, layers autosave
** measures
** projections, for example [http://mateusz.loskot.net/projects/proj4/ PROJ.4 for Windows CE]

* data sources and providers, see [[#Spatial Data Formats]]
** remote
*** accessed via [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service Web Feature Service]
** local
*** file based
*** local RDBMS, for example [[#SQLite]]

* data synchronization
** network-based:
*** on-demand - temporal network connection required
*** continuous - permanent network connection required
** file-based:
*** with files copied from flash memory card
*** with files transfered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association IrDA], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth Bluetooth] or cable

* GPS functionality
** navigation
** routing from current position
** querying data based on current position
** catch location from GPS, for example to create point on a layer
** signal/protocol logging
** automated map large-scale switching while measuring/catching features with GPS, for example from 1:500 or 1:1000

* Data Compression
** including Spatial and Attribute data
*** Catagraphy-generalization-based compression for vector data
*** Huffman-Code-based method for attribute data
*** Wavelet-based method for raster data
* Layer map management accrording to application theme
** for vehicle navigation specification like ISO GDF40

* Other
** ''some kind of'' integration with external devices, for example laser range finder, camera

=== Spatial Data Formats ===

This section discusses data formats considered for local spatial datastore on a mobile device.
Proposed formats are listed in alphabetical order.

==== ESRI Shapefile ====

ESRI Shapefile is a file-based format, simple and easy to use in mobile application, though it does not support complex data relations natively.
Important features of ESRI Shapefile format:
* availability of portable libraries: [http://shapelib.maptools.org Shapelib] and [http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_shapefile.html OGR], both work on Windows CE and Linux
* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* very popular format in GIS world
* well-documented format

See:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
* [http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf ESRI Shapefile Technical Description]

==== Spatial Data File (SDF) ====

From [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5169479#section4 Autodesk's FAQ] about the SDF format:

''Autodesk’s new spatial data file (SDF) is a powerful single file that provides many of the capabilities of a relational database (RDBMS). Each SDF file can contain multiple geometry types (lines, polygons, and points) as well as feature attributes. A spatial data file enables you to organize and manage your data as GIS features, providing a solid foundation for a smooth transition to an RDBMS in the future if the need arises.''

Some additional info on the SDF format available at [https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html]

''TODO: We need more details about SDF format! If you know anything about this format, please share your knowledge here. Thanks!''

''TODO: Is there any specification available to download?''

==== SQLite ====

From the [http://www.sqlite.org SQLite] website:

''SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine.''

SQLite engine seems to be a good candidate for a local geospatial database managed on a mobile device. SQLite features which are mostly interesting for Open Source GIS system for mobile devices include:

* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* highly portable library, works well on Linux PDAs and Windows CE devices (see [http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-wince sqlite-wince])
* Open Source Software
* single-file format
* it's been used in GIS, see [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html SQLite driver for OGR] and [http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/sqlite.html SQLite driver for GRASS]

==== SVGMobile ====

It is a subset of classes fron SVG. It an standard [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile/ released by the W3C] and provide scalable vector graphics to mobile devices. It is XML based and it is main features are:

*Adaptability: content can adapt to any screen size and display properties. The same content can be displayed on desktop, handlet or phone.
*Zooming capabilities: content can be zoomed with no losss of quality or need to reload.
*Animation: content can be animated in a variety of ways (not just frame based).
*Interactivity: content can be interactive.
*Searchability: content can be searched for text or shapes.
*Efficiency: content can be compressed using gzip (standard). Animation compresses ten times better than animated GIF.

J2ME provieds the JSR 226 to manage this type of content in midlets.

== Existing Projects ==

'''Note:''' ''Please, feel free to extend the list of features here.''

'''Question:''' ''What do you think about rank features listed in this brainstorm section? It could be achived by putting asterix (*) next to features you think are important. Any other ideas?''

This section is devoted to a summary of our discussion on the OSGeo mailing list.
List of ideas of Open Source Mobile GIS features:

* User Interface
** configurable UI: turn on/off UI elements, switch to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiosk_software kiosk mode]
** create a wizard type tool for the desktop (for example in [http://www.qgis.org QGIS]) to create data collection forms, etc. to be transported to the handheld device (similar to as [http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcpad-appbldr/about/forms.html ArcPad Forms])
** binding UI action to hardware elements, for example zooming with hardware keys or scrolls
** use of voice capabilities
*** ask for operation confirmations (Yes, No, Cancel) and accept answering by speech recognition or by pushing hardware keys
** use of LEDs, for example to indicate states of various operations: GPS location accuracy/low PDOP, edited layer has not been saved, no network connection, synchronization is in progress, catching tracklog/feature vertices with GPS, etc.
** Internationalization
** Client UI should have an option for a 'simplified' UI, so that those with less computer experience can still use the software effectively. Advanced option can be used by those with more experience/who need the most functionality from the client.

* GIS functionality
** map tools: zoom-in, zoom-out, pan
** integration of map and attributes database
** data query tool
** features editing
*** automated and configurable functions like: snapping, polygon closing, layers autosave
** measures
** projections, for example [http://mateusz.loskot.net/projects/proj4/ PROJ.4 for Windows CE]

* data sources and providers, see [[#Spatial Data Formats]]
** remote
*** accessed via [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service Web Feature Service]
** local
*** file based
*** local RDBMS, for example [[#SQLite]]

* data synchronization
** network-based:
*** on-demand - temporal network connection required
*** continuous - permanent network connection required
** file-based:
*** with files copied from flash memory card
*** with files transfered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association IrDA], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth Bluetooth] or cable

* GPS functionality
** navigation
** routing from current position
** querying data based on current position
** catch location from GPS, for example to create point on a layer
** signal/protocol logging
** automated map large-scale switching while measuring/catching features with GPS, for example from 1:500 or 1:1000

* Data Compression
** including Spatial and Attribute data
*** Catagraphy-generalization-based compression for vector data
*** Huffman-Code-based method for attribute data
*** Wavelet-based method for raster data
* Layer map management accrording to application theme
** for vehicle navigation specification like ISO GDF40

* Other
** ''some kind of'' integration with external devices, for example laser range finder, camera

=== Spatial Data Formats ===

This section discusses data formats considered for local spatial datastore on a mobile device.
Proposed formats are listed in alphabetical order.

==== ESRI Shapefile ====

ESRI Shapefile is a file-based format, simple and easy to use in mobile application, though it does not support complex data relations natively.
Important features of ESRI Shapefile format:
* availability of portable libraries: [http://shapelib.maptools.org Shapelib] and [http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_shapefile.html OGR], both work on Windows CE and Linux
* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* very popular format in GIS world
* well-documented format

See:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
* [http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf ESRI Shapefile Technical Description]

==== Spatial Data File (SDF) ====

From [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5169479#section4 Autodesk's FAQ] about the SDF format:

''Autodesk’s new spatial data file (SDF) is a powerful single file that provides many of the capabilities of a relational database (RDBMS). Each SDF file can contain multiple geometry types (lines, polygons, and points) as well as feature attributes. A spatial data file enables you to organize and manage your data as GIS features, providing a solid foundation for a smooth transition to an RDBMS in the future if the need arises.''

Some additional info on the SDF format available at [https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html]

''TODO: We need more details about SDF format! If you know anything about this format, please share your knowledge here. Thanks!''

''TODO: Is there any specification available to download?''

==== SQLite ====

From the [http://www.sqlite.org SQLite] website:

''SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine.''

SQLite engine seems to be a good candidate for a local geospatial database managed on a mobile device. SQLite features which are mostly interesting for Open Source GIS system for mobile devices include:

* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* highly portable library, works well on Linux PDAs and Windows CE devices (see [http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-wince sqlite-wince])
* Open Source Software
* single-file format
* it's been used in GIS, see [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html SQLite driver for OGR] and [http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/sqlite.html SQLite driver for GRASS]

==== SVGMobile ====

It is a subset of classes fron SVG. It an standard [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile/ released by the W3C] and provide scalable vector graphics to mobile devices. It is XML based and it is main features are:

*Adaptability: content can adapt to any screen size and display properties. The same content can be displayed on desktop, handlet or phone.
*Zooming capabilities: content can be zoomed with no losss of quality or need to reload.
*Animation: content can be animated in a variety of ways (not just frame based).
*Interactivity: content can be interactive.
*Searchability: content can be searched for text or shapes.
*Efficiency: content can be compressed using gzip (standard). Animation compresses ten times better than animated GIF.

J2ME provieds the JSR 226 to manage this type of content in midlets.

This section discusses data formats considered for local spatial datastore on a mobile device.
Proposed formats are listed in alphabetical order.

==== ESRI Shapefile ====

ESRI Shapefile is a file-based format, simple and easy to use in mobile application, though it does not support complex data relations natively.
Important features of ESRI Shapefile format:
* availability of portable libraries: [http://shapelib.maptools.org Shapelib] and [http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_shapefile.html OGR], both work on Windows CE and Linux
* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* very popular format in GIS world
* well-documented format

See:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
* [http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf ESRI Shapefile Technical Description]

==== Spatial Data File (SDF) ====

From [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5169479#section4 Autodesk's FAQ] about the SDF format:

''Autodesk’s new spatial data file (SDF) is a powerful single file that provides many of the capabilities of a relational database (RDBMS). Each SDF file can contain multiple geometry types (lines, polygons, and points) as well as feature attributes. A spatial data file enables you to organize and manage your data as GIS features, providing a solid foundation for a smooth transition to an RDBMS in the future if the need arises.''

Some additional info on the SDF format available at [https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html]

''TODO: We need more details about SDF format! If you know anything about this format, please share your knowledge here. Thanks!''

''TODO: Is there any specification available to download?''

==== SQLite ====

From the [http://www.sqlite.org SQLite] website:

''SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine.''

SQLite engine seems to be a good candidate for a local geospatial database managed on a mobile device. SQLite features which are mostly interesting for Open Source GIS system for mobile devices include:

* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* highly portable library, works well on Linux PDAs and Windows CE devices (see [http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-wince sqlite-wince])
* Open Source Software
* single-file format
* it's been used in GIS, see [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html SQLite driver for OGR] and [http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/sqlite.html SQLite driver for GRASS]

==== SVGMobile ====

It is a subset of classes fron SVG. It an standard [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile/ released by the W3C] and provide scalable vector graphics to mobile devices. It is XML based and it is main features are:

*Adaptability: content can adapt to any screen size and display properties. The same content can be displayed on desktop, handlet or phone.
*Zooming capabilities: content can be zoomed with no losss of quality or need to reload.
*Animation: content can be animated in a variety of ways (not just frame based).
*Interactivity: content can be interactive.
*Searchability: content can be searched for text or shapes.
*Efficiency: content can be compressed using gzip (standard). Animation compresses ten times better than animated GIF.

J2ME provieds the JSR 226 to manage this type of content in midlets.

'''Question:''' ''What do you think about rank features listed in this brainstorm section? It could be achived by putting asterix (*) next to features you think are important. Any other ideas?''

This section is devoted to a summary of our discussion on the OSGeo mailing list.
List of ideas of Open Source Mobile GIS features:

* User Interface
** configurable UI: turn on/off UI elements, switch to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiosk_software kiosk mode]
** create a wizard type tool for the desktop (for example in [http://www.qgis.org QGIS]) to create data collection forms, etc. to be transported to the handheld device (similar to as [http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcpad-appbldr/about/forms.html ArcPad Forms])
** binding UI action to hardware elements, for example zooming with hardware keys or scrolls
** use of voice capabilities
*** ask for operation confirmations (Yes, No, Cancel) and accept answering by speech recognition or by pushing hardware keys
** use of LEDs, for example to indicate states of various operations: GPS location accuracy/low PDOP, edited layer has not been saved, no network connection, synchronization is in progress, catching tracklog/feature vertices with GPS, etc.
** Internationalization
** Client UI should have an option for a 'simplified' UI, so that those with less computer experience can still use the software effectively. Advanced option can be used by those with more experience/who need the most functionality from the client.

* GIS functionality
** map tools: zoom-in, zoom-out, pan
** integration of map and attributes database
** data query tool
** features editing
*** automated and configurable functions like: snapping, polygon closing, layers autosave
** measures
** projections, for example [http://mateusz.loskot.net/projects/proj4/ PROJ.4 for Windows CE]

* data sources and providers, see [[#Spatial Data Formats]]
** remote
*** accessed via [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service Web Feature Service]
** local
*** file based
*** local RDBMS, for example [[#SQLite]]

* data synchronization
** network-based:
*** on-demand - temporal network connection required
*** continuous - permanent network connection required
** file-based:
*** with files copied from flash memory card
*** with files transfered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association IrDA], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth Bluetooth] or cable

* GPS functionality
** navigation
** routing from current position
** querying data based on current position
** catch location from GPS, for example to create point on a layer
** signal/protocol logging
** automated map large-scale switching while measuring/catching features with GPS, for example from 1:500 or 1:1000

* Data Compression
** including Spatial and Attribute data
*** Catagraphy-generalization-based compression for vector data
*** Huffman-Code-based method for attribute data
*** Wavelet-based method for raster data
* Layer map management accrording to application theme
** for vehicle navigation specification like ISO GDF40

* Other
** ''some kind of'' integration with external devices, for example laser range finder, camera

=== Spatial Data Formats ===

This section discusses data formats considered for local spatial datastore on a mobile device.
Proposed formats are listed in alphabetical order.

==== Spatial Data File (SDF) ====

From [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5169479#section4 Autodesk's FAQ] about the SDF format:

''Autodesk’s new spatial data file (SDF) is a powerful single file that provides many of the capabilities of a relational database (RDBMS). Each SDF file can contain multiple geometry types (lines, polygons, and points) as well as feature attributes. A spatial data file enables you to organize and manage your data as GIS features, providing a solid foundation for a smooth transition to an RDBMS in the future if the need arises.''

Some additional info on the SDF format available at [https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/SDF/index.html]

''TODO: We need more details about SDF format! If you know anything about this format, please share your knowledge here. Thanks!''

''TODO: Is there any specification available to download?''

==== ESRI Shapefile ====

ESRI Shapefile is a file-based format, simple and easy to use in mobile application, though it does not support complex data relations natively.
Important features of ESRI Shapefile format:
* availability of portable libraries: [http://shapelib.maptools.org Shapelib] and [http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_shapefile.html OGR], both work on Windows CE and Linux
* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* very popular format in GIS world
* well-documented format

See:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
* [http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf ESRI Shapefile Technical Description]

==== SQLite ====

From the [http://www.sqlite.org SQLite] website:

''SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine.''

SQLite engine seems to be a good candidate for a local geospatial database managed on a mobile device. SQLite features which are mostly interesting for Open Source GIS system for mobile devices include:

* easy to use and create on mobile devices
* highly portable library, works well on Linux PDAs and Windows CE devices (see [http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-wince sqlite-wince])
* Open Source Software
* single-file format
* it's been used in GIS, see [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html SQLite driver for OGR] and [http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/sqlite.html SQLite driver for GRASS]
