== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

FOSS4G 2011 Code Sprint

2011-08-09T14:03:25Z

Wiki-Madair: /* Additional Interested People */

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

[[Image:Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg|thumb|400px|FOSS4G 2010 code sprint, in Barcelona]]
A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

== Venue ==

*Date: '''Saturday September 17th, 2011''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2011&month=9&day=17&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 timeandate]) 
*'''Where:''' [http://www.tivoli.org/tivoli/ Tivoli Student Union building] (a former brewery), Auraria Campus
[[Image:Tivoli-logo.jpg|150px]]

Tivoli Student Union
900 Auraria Parkway
Denver, CO
'''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.745249&lon=-105.005806&zoom=18&layers=M OSM map]'''

*'''Rooms: (each room has a 60-70 person capacity)'''
** room 440/540 (bilevel)
** room 640

== What to Bring ==

* power bars (only outlets for 30 computers exist)

== How to get there from the Sheraton ==

The easiest way to get there from the Sheraton is to catch the free shuttle bus along 16th Street to Larimer, then it's about a half mile walk from there (7-10 minutes) - just take a left on Larimer and keep going straight into the campus. More detail to come shortly on how to get to the exact rooms etc.

== Sponsor ==

Please! contact organizers: Rafael Moreno, or [[Jeff McKenna]]

== Questions/Comments/Ideas ==

* ask on the foss4g2011 mailing list ([http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2011 subscribe])

FOSS4G 2009 Code Sprint

2009-10-14T13:45:31Z

Wiki-Madair:

== Organizing Contacts ==

* Jody Garnett, Tyler Mitchell

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Venue ==

'''Goals:'''
* Progress ISO 19107 / GML 3D geometry collaboration (OSGeom). See <tt><java-collab@lists.osgeo.org></tt> for more.

'''Plan:'''

Some subset of Markus Schneider's proposal:
# DONE - Remove all topological and spatial analysis methods in the interfaces from the SVN for now, so we can focus on sanitising the model.
# Add factories. I would like to add two factories similar to the ones in the deegree 3 SVN:
#* SFS geometries:
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/SimpleGeometryFactory.html
#* ISO 19107/GML 3
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/GeometryFactory.html
#* In deegree 3, these factories are bound to a JTS-based implementation. As we only have interfaces for the geometry types in the osgeom repository for now (and no implementations), I would create interfaces from the factories.
# Add a basic implementation that is just a bean representation without operations. We could finally start to add JUnit tests then.
# Add GML parsers/exporters. I understood that one may want to keep this aspect out of the repository, but I don't see how we could test the difficulties in representing GML geometries (e.g external xlinks) without this. It also would make setting up geometries for testing much easier. Maybe we could keep the GML parsing/exporting isolated from the rest of the code.
# Of course we would take on the operations subject again, when we find consensus here.

Wiki-Madair: /* Potential Participants */

== Background ==

This page is intended as an initial anchor for an OSGeo Project encompassing several projections, and coordinate system related technologies.

My (FrankW) hope was that we could treat a variety of coordinate system activities as one Project from an OSGeo point of view. This helps get us past the issue that some (all?) of them are rather small in terms of teams
to justify the full "OSGeo project treatment".

But more importantly it would give us a forum to cooperate. Sharing things like coordinate system dictionaries, test suites and such.

== Potential Participants ==

* [http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Proj4js proj4js] (Javascript: Rich Greenwood and Mike Adair )
* [http://proj.maptools.org proj.4]
* [http://members.verizon.net/~vze2hc4d/proj4/ libproj4] (the projection-only library maintained by Gerald Evenden)
* [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/osr_tutorial.html OSGSpatialReference] (GDAL coordinate system translation classes)
* CS-Map (the recently open sourced library from Norm Olsen/Autodesk)

I'm also hopeful that folks from GeoTools, and OSSIM who maintain their own projections code would participate to take advantage of the dictionaries and test suites even though their libraries wouldn't be part of the project.

== Mailing list ==

In order to facilitate further discussion I have created a mailing list. Please join if you have an interest.

http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/MetaCRS

== Practical Questions ==

Answers are not authoritative - they are one opinion on possible answers.

=== Are we trying to merge the source into one super-library? ===

No, though there may be opportunities that arise for consolidation over time.

=== Is my library/component going to be subject to the whim of other contributors? ===

I imagine we will want to use the ''lieutenant model'' of development where particular components are essentially maintained by a chief maintainer. The project steering committee would establish broad policy (such as contributor rules) and facilitation for shared components (perhaps some dictionaries) while leaving technical direction of some components to their primary maintainer (ie. Norm for CS-Map).

=== So will all these packages live in a single subversion respository with a single Trac instance? ===

This is unclear. This would reduce overhead complexity from a SAC point of view, but it might not have many other benefits. It is important to realize different components will be released on different schedules and so forth. So if they do live in one subversion instance, they would each need their own versioning urls. This could result in svn trees something like:

http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj4/trunk/
http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj4/branches/4.6.0/
http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/trunk/
...

Trac (in my experience) is normally setup with the assumption that it represents one project with a unified concept of versions (for milestones, etc). To me this seems incompatible with having libraries on their own release cycles.

FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint

2007-09-19T18:53:32Z

Wiki-Madair: /* Goals */

Back to [[FOSS4G2007]]...

== Organizing Contacts ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

On the Friday after the conference, a [http://www.foss4g2007.org/code_sprint/ big room] with internet connectivity, lots of tables and flip charts will be arranged. Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section below for your project.

== GeoTools ==

=== Attending ===

* Andrea Aime
* [[User:Jdeolive | Justin Deoliveira]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* [[User:Chorner | Cory Horner]]

=== Goals ===

We are going to to do a cross project code sprint (with GeoServer and uDig developers) focused on changing the internals over to the new Feature model. If we run across any old Filter code we will take care of it as well. The "old" Feature interface will still be available for client code to use - this sprint is just focused on updating (and testing the heck out of) our internals.

=== Preparation ===

We need *good* code examples of how to do the following before we start: Use SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder, use SimpleFeatureBuilder. It may also help to have a big old class diagram of the Feature model.

We expect each developer to have a working build of trunk, have read the interfaces for SimpleFeature and the above code examples.

=== Out of Scope ===

There are lots of things that are going to have to follow out of scope for this sprint. I am going to bring attention to the following explicitly. *Performance* (the implementation of SimpleFeature available here is for the transition period only - optimize on your own time after we have updated the codebase to handle it). *Javadocs* - much of the javadocs will be out of date by the time we are done, type a sentence and move on.

During the code sprint you will be tempted - when you run into any good ideas on these topics simply fire an email off to the devel list and we will revisit it later.

== GRASS ==

=== Attending ===

=== Goals ===

* Hack session

== GDAL Bug Squash ==

Details at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BugSquash2007

== GeoNetwork / Metadata Madness ==

=== Goals ===

Building crawler/harvester/aggregator applications on top of the GeoNetwork metadata catalog network and similar interfaces. Plugging client stuff like gvSIG and uDig into it.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:JoWalsh|Jo Walsh]]
* [[User:Fxp|François Prunayre]]

== OpenLayers ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:crschmidt|Christopher Schmidt]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:tschaub|Tim Schaub]]
* [[User:euzuro|Erik Uzureau]]
* [[User:ominiverdi|Lorenzo Becchi]]
* [[User:SchuylerErle|Schuyler Erle]]
* [[User:pagameba|Paul Spencer]]
* [[User:pgiraud|Pierre Giraud]]
* [[User:madair|Mike Adair]]
* [[User:ahocevar|Andreas Hocevar]]

=== Goals ===
Hack, hack, hack. I think this will be OpenLayers 2.6 or 2.7?

Some specific ideas:
* OL Context/WMC+ - read/write support for and OWS Context style doc
* SLD support - edit/read/write
* Renderer Optimizations
** consider attributing geometry components with a minResolution below which the renderer doesn't deal with them
** clipping - svg supports clipping, we need to consider clipping or another method of dealing with geometries that extend beyond the renderer bounds
** add <canvas> renderer
* integrate emanual's animated zooming stuff
* client-side coordinate transformations

== QGIS ==
=== Attending ===
* [[User:Gsherman|Gary Sherman]]
* [[User:Aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:spacedman|Barry Rowlingson]]

=== Goals ===
Here are some goals/wishes/ideas for the code sprint:

1. I would love to get some traction on expanding the "Tim Tutorials" into a more generic and robust framework for stand alone apps. Focusing on the Python bindings would be my preference. (Aaron Racicot)

2. Build an ''all-in-one'' data browser:
* Display a tree of all QGIS supported types, including PostGIS and WMS
* Support drag and drop from the browser to the QGIS map canvas
* Include file/layer management tools

3. I would prefer a discussion in which direction symbolisation should go. (Horst Düster)

== SWIG Bindings ==

SWIG bindings are increasingly used and could be used by many projects. GDAL uses them, and this sprint will focus in GDAL's (new generation) bindings but more general discussion, goal setting, and talk on integration is very much hoped for.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:ajolma|Ari Jolma]]
* [[User:szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

=== Goals ===

* present a short introduction to SWIG (AJ: I'll prepare this)
* develop a vision of how we integrate tools and create common look and feel high-level programming interfaces with SWIG bindings

Specifically for GDAL (from Tamas Szekeres' email):

* harmonize the typemap usage between the various bindings (and update the README.typemaps accordingly)
* determine which of the gdal/ogr features should be added to (or perhaps removed from) the SWIG interface.
* look over the possibilities to automate the creation of the code-comment-documentation for the various languages.
* construct the expected object model diagram to follow by the various languages (and publish the model itself)
* discuss the language specific issues and the expected treatments.

== Udig / JGrass ==

Cross project code sprint with the JGrass and uDig projects.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:jeichar | Jesse Eichar]]
* [[User:silli | Silvia Franceschi]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

=== Goals ===
Currently these are proposals we are working on selecting a subset of these goals.

FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint

2007-09-10T12:50:49Z

Wiki-Madair: /* Attending */

Back to [[FOSS4G2007]]...

== Organizing Contacts ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

On the Friday after the conference, a [http://www.foss4g2007.org/code_sprint/ big room] with internet connectivity, lots of tables and flip charts will be arranged. Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section below for your project.

== GeoTools ==

=== Attending ===

* Andrea Aime
* [[User:Jdeolive | Justin Deoliveira]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* [[User:Chorner | Cory Horner]]

=== Goals ===

We are going to to do a cross project code sprint (with GeoServer and uDig developers) focused on changing the internals over to the new Feature model. If we run across any old Filter code we will take care of it as well. The "old" Feature interface will still be available for client code to use - this sprint is just focused on updating (and testing the heck out of) our internals.

=== Preparation ===

We need *good* code examples of how to do the following before we start: Use SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder, use SimpleFeatureBuilder. It may also help to have a big old class diagram of the Feature model.

We expect each developer to have a working build of trunk, have read the interfaces for SimpleFeature and the above code examples.

=== Out of Scope ===

There are lots of things that are going to have to follow out of scope for this sprint. I am going to bring attention to the following explicitly. *Performance* (the implementation of SimpleFeature available here is for the transition period only - optimize on your own time after we have updated the codebase to handle it). *Javadocs* - much of the javadocs will be out of date by the time we are done, type a sentence and move on.

During the code sprint you will be tempted - when you run into any good ideas on these topics simply fire an email off to the devel list and we will revisit it later.

== GRASS ==

=== Attending ===

=== Goals ===

* Hack session

== GDAL Bug Squash ==

Details at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BugSquash2007

== GeoNetwork / Metadata Madness ==

=== Goals ===

Building crawler/harvester/aggregator applications on top of the GeoNetwork metadata catalog network and similar interfaces. Plugging client stuff like gvSIG and uDig into it.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:JoWalsh|Jo Walsh]]
* [[User:Fxp|François Prunayre]]

== OpenLayers ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:crschmidt|Christopher Schmidt]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:tschaub|Tim Schaub]]
* [[User:euzuro|Erik Uzureau]]
* [[User:ominiverdi|Lorenzo Becchi]]
* [[User:SchuylerErle|Schuyler Erle]]
* [[User:pagameba|Paul Spencer]]
* [[User:pgiraud|Pierre Giraud]]
* [[User:madair|Mike Adair]]

=== Goals ===
Hack, hack, hack. I think this will be OpenLayers 2.6 or 2.7?

Some specific ideas:
* OL Context/WMC+ - read/write support for and OWS Context style doc
* SLD support - edit/read/write
* Renderer Optimizations
** consider attributing geometry components with a minResolution below which the renderer doesn't deal with them
** clipping - svg supports clipping, we need to consider clipping or another method of dealing with geometries that extend beyond the renderer bounds
** add <canvas> renderer
* integrate emanual's animated zooming stuff

== QGIS ==
=== Attending ===
* [[User:Gsherman|Gary Sherman]]
* [[User:Aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:spacedman|Barry Rowlingson]]

=== Goals ===
Here are some goals/wishes/ideas for the code sprint:

1. I would love to get some traction on expanding the "Tim Tutorials" into a more generic and robust framework for stand alone apps. Focusing on the Python bindings would be my preference. (Aaron Racicot)

2. Build an ''all-in-one'' data browser:
* Display a tree of all QGIS supported types, including PostGIS and WMS
* Support drag and drop from the browser to the QGIS map canvas
* Include file/layer management tools

3. I would prefer a discussion in which direction symbolisation should go. (Horst Düster)

== SWIG Bindings ==

SWIG bindings are increasingly used and could be used by many projects. GDAL uses them, and this sprint will focus in GDAL's (new generation) bindings but more general discussion, goal setting, and talk on integration is very much hoped for.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:ajolma|Ari Jolma]]
* [[User:szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

=== Goals ===

* present a short introduction to SWIG (AJ: I'll prepare this)
* develop a vision of how we integrate tools and create common look and feel high-level programming interfaces with SWIG bindings

Specifically for GDAL (from Tamas Szekeres' email):

* harmonize the typemap usage between the various bindings (and update the README.typemaps accordingly)
* determine which of the gdal/ogr features should be added to (or perhaps removed from) the SWIG interface.
* look over the possibilities to automate the creation of the code-comment-documentation for the various languages.
* construct the expected object model diagram to follow by the various languages (and publish the model itself)
* discuss the language specific issues and the expected treatments.

== Udig / JGrass ==

Cross project code sprint with the JGrass and uDig projects.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:jeichar | Jesse Eichar]]
* [[User:silli | Silvia Franceschi]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

=== Goals ===
Currently these are proposals we are working on selecting a subset of these goals.

= General Information =

== Pre-Conference communication ==
'''All Instructors are expected to join the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.'''

For Workshops or Labs with multiple Instructors, all the Instructors should join the mailing list, even if one of the Instructors is handling all the pre-conference organizing for the group.

If you are an Instructor, and have any questions that are not answered by this page, please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

If you need to communicate with the FOSS4G 2007 Workshop Committee, please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

As this page gets updated, periodic reminders may be sent to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

== Communication during the conference ==
The package you receive when you arrive at the conference will contain information explaining who to contact, and how, if you have any questions or need any assistance during the conference.

== FOSS4G 2007 FTP server ==
Workshop/Lab Instructors who need to provide files to the Workshop Committee prior to the conference may do so via the use of the FOSS4G 2007 FTP server.

You will need to use the FTP server if:
* you want the conference organizers to print Classroom Material for you
* you want to provide data that will be used for your Workshop/Lab
* you want to provide an image of a LiveCD/DVD for testing
* you want to use a Virtual Machine for your Workshop/Lab
* you want to provide information about Application and Utility software installation/configuration

All Instructors have been sent an email with the information about how to connect to the FTP server.

# Classroom Material for printing
#* Upload your Microsoft Word document, Open Office document, or PDF document to the ''/printing/'' folder for your Workshop/Lab.
# Data
#* Upload your data files to the ''/data/'' folder for your Workshop/Lab.
#* If no README file is supplied, the files will be loaded onto the classroom PCs under the ''C:\FOSS4G07\'' folder for your Workshop/Lab. For example, for Lab-01, if you upload a file ''/Lab-01/data/lab1files.zip'' it will end up as ''C:\FOSS4G07\Lab-01\lab1files.zip''
#* If you need your files loaded onto the PCs with a specific directory structure, use that directory structure for the files you upload to the FTP server
#* If your data files need anything done to them other than being placed onto the classroom PCs, include a plain text README file in your ''/data/'' folder with specific instructions as to what needs to be done. For example, if you have provided a ZIP file containing a dump of database tables, we will load that data into your own database instance, provided you supply us with a README file containing the required database information, such as the database name, login ID, etc.
# LiveCD/DVD image
#* If you want us to test your LiveCD/DVD, upload an image of it to the ''/software/'' folder for your Workshop/Lab.
#* If no README file is supplied, the testing will consist of burning the image to a CD/DVD, and booting that CD/DVD in one of the classroom PCs.
#* If you would like any additional testing done, include a plain text README file in your ''/software/'' folder with specific instructions as to what needs to be done.
# Virtual Machine
#* If you are going to use a Virtual Machine, upload it to the ''/software/'' folder for your Workshop/Lab.
#* If no README file is supplied, the testing of your Virtual Machine will consist of loading the Virtual Machine in VMWare Player on one of the classroom PCs, and booting it.
#* If you would like any additional testing done, include a plain text README file in your ''/software/'' folder with specific instructions as to what needs to be done.
# Application and Utility Software
#* If you are suppling information about software installation and/or configuration, upload a plain text README file in your ''/software/'' folder with specific instructions as to what needs to be done.
#* Use a separate file for each piece of software.
#* Include the name of the software as part of the README file name. For example, if your Workshop/Lab uses FileZilla, and you would like a specific FTP server added to it's configuration once installed, you would create a file called README-FileZilla, add to it information on the hostname, port, server type, logon information, etc., and then upload that file. If you also had some requirements for how FileZilla is installed, you would add them to the same file.

== Classroom Materials ==
Materials are things that you may need to hand out in your Workshop or Lab, such as printed handouts, workbooks, quizzes, CDROM, etc. We ask that you do not hand out business cards, however, attendees are free to ask you for your business card.
# Bringing your own materials
#* you may bring your own materials to hand out in your Workshop/Lab
#* you may bring those materials to the Registration desk when you arrive at the conference, and we will store them and deliver them to your classroom for your Workshop or Lab
# Having your materials delivered prior to the conference
#* you may arrange to have your materials delivered to Victoria ahead of your arrival
#* the preferred method would be for you to make such arrangements yourself (e.g. have the materials delivered to your hotel)
#* we can put you in touch with a company that the conference is using, who can assist you with making shipping arrangements
# Having your printed materials printed by the conference organizers
#* '''DEADLINE:''' September 7, 2007
#* the conference committee will provide the option of printing your printed Workshop/Lab materials
#* printed materials need to be formated for printing on 8.5"x11" paper
#* printed materials must be supplied using one of the following formats: Microsoft Word document, Open Office document, PDF document
#* information about how to get the materials to the conference organizers will be available in the near future
# Non-printed materials
#* the conference organizers will not be providing services such as CDROM duplication
#* if you need something such as a copy of a LiveCD/DVD for each PC in your classroom:
#** you can bring those copies with you
#** as indicated above, you can ship them ahead of time
#** you can make the copies once you arrive in Victoria, however, you will be 'on your own' as far as getting this done. The conference organizers are not providing media, or PCs for duplication use(conference PCs may have only CDROM/DVDROM drives). You can purchase media at local stores, and use your own equipment to do the duplication.

== Data ==
'''Instructors will not be able to load data for their Workshops/Labs onto the classroom PCs during the conference'''.

Attendees in the Workshops/Labs will be able to create and download files during their Workshop/Lab. See the ''Classroom PCs Configuration, Other'' section for more information.

If you have any data that you will need for your Workshop/Lab, you must provide it to the conference organizers prior to the conference. You provide your data by uploading it to the FOSS4G 2007 FTP server. See the ''FOSS4G 2007 FTP server'' section for more information.

'''DEADLINE:''' the deadline for providing your data is Monday August 27, 2007.

We had previously told you that there would be a server at the conference that would be hosting some Canadian Geodata, and that you would have access to that server for use in your Workshops/Labs. Unfortunately, while the server will still be used for the Integration Showcase, access for Workshops/Labs will not be possible, due to performance concerns.

If you need to have some data available on the PCs for your Workshop/Lab (regardless of whether it is Canadian data or from some other sources) here is what you need to do:
# Acquire the data
#* If you want to use some of the Canadian Geodata, the [[Canadian_Geodata|Canadian Geodata]] wiki page has links you can use to download the free Canadian data
# Process the data
#* If needed, "massage" the data as needed for your Workshop/Lab. For example, if you have a raster image, and for use with Mapserver it needs to be tiled, you will need to do that yourself.
# Package the data
#* Gather together the data into a format, or formats, that you can use to share the data with the Workshop Committee. For example, export database tables, combine files together into ZIP files or tarballs, etc.
# Upload the data
#* Using SFTP, upload your data to our FTP server. See the ''FOSS4G 2007 FTP server'' section for more information.

== Classroom PCs Configuration ==
The hardware configurations shown below are subject to change.

* Classroom PCs will have access to the Internet.
** Login via a Web Browser to a gateway server is required to activate Internet access for each PC.
** There is no 'session timeout', but login to the gateway server has to be done each day.
** There is no proxy server.
** NAT is used for Internet access.
* Some Instructors who make use of Internet-based resources for their Workshop/Lab may want to provide their own 'backup server'(e.g. a notebook) to be connected to the conference LAN. '''DEADLINE:''' If you want to do this, you must let the the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007

=== Software ===
The majority of the PCs used for the classrooms are being rented, with the rest being on loan from the City of Nanaimo. The PCs will be prepared by installing and configuring various software onto a small number of 'master PCs'. Those 'master PCs' will then be "cloned" to create the full complement of classroom PCs. The timetable for preparing the classroom PCs will cause there to be certain deadlines, such as a deadline for when the conference organizers must have data that you will need for your Workshop/Lab. As soon as the timetable is finalized, any such deadlines will be announced on the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.
==== Operating System ====
* All PCs will have Windows XP installed, with the latest service pack and patches (as of mid-September)
* LiveCD
** Instructors who wish to use a LiveCD for their Workshop/Lab must provide the LiveCD
** If you want your LiveCD tested on a classroom PC, the '''DEADLINE''' for providing your LiveCD image to the Workshop Committee is Friday August 31, 2007. See the ''FOSS4G2007 FTP server'' section for more information.
* LiveDVD
** There will be limited availability of classroom PCs that have a DVD drive
** '''DEADLINE:''' If you plan to use a LiveDVD, you must let the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007
** Instructors who wish to use a LiveDVD for their Workshop/Lab must provide the LiveDVD
** If you want your LiveDVD tested on a classroom PC, the '''DEADLINE''' for providing your LiveDVD image to the Workshop Committee is Friday August 31, 2007. See the ''FOSS4G2007 FTP server'' section for more information.
* Virtual Machines
** Most Workshops/Labs will be using either Windows XP or booting from a LiveCD/DVD
** If neither of those options is suitable for your Workshop/Lab, you may use a Virtual Machine
*** '''DEADLINE:''' If you wish to use a Virtual Machine, you must let the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007
*** '''DEADLINE:''' You must upload your Virtual Machine to the FTP server by Friday August 31, 2007. See the ''FOSS4G2007 FTP server'' section for more information.

==== Application and Utility Software ====
This section applies to the software that will be installed under Windows XP.

If your Workshop/Lab deals with software installation, it is expected that will be explained by the Instructor (e.g. via slides), and will '''not''' involve actual installation of the software.

The English-language version of software will be installed.

Web Browsers will have their homepage set to [http://www.foss4g2007.org/ http://www.foss4g2007.org/]

If there is any software that is needed for your Workshop/Lab that is not listed below, add it to the list, including a version number, and a link to where it can be downloaded

# For each piece of software in the list that you require for your Workshop/Lab, you ''' must edit this page''' and add your Workshop/Lab "ID number" to the line below the software. '''Software which is not identified as being required for any Workshops/Labs will not be installed.'''
#* '''DEADLINE:''' the deadline for updating the software list with your Workshop/Lab "ID number" is August 24, 2007.
#* use "Wnn" for Workshops (e.g. W01,W02,W10) and "Lnn" for Labs (e.g. L01,L02,L10)
#* If the software doesn't list a specific version number, or only a major version number is shown:
#** if a version number is not listed, or only a major version number is shown, the version that is installed will be the latest non-beta release that is available when the 'master PCs' are being built
#** if you require a specific version for your Workshop/Lab add the specific version number after the software's name, and add a link to where it can be downloaded
#** If the software has a version number listed, and it is different than the version that is required for your Workshop/Lab, then please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list so that you and the other Instructors who need that software can resolve what version will be loaded onto the 'master PCs'
#** It is OK to add a note to the software if it is required to clarify the version number
# The Workshop Committee needs your help in making sure that the software is installed and configured as needed for your Workshops/Labs
#* '''DEADLINE:''' the deadline for supplying us with any specific information about the software installation and/or configuration for software that is required for your Workshop/Lab is August 24, 2007.
#* While we will be installing all the required Application and Utility Software that is listed below, make the assumption that we know nothing about the software.
#* If there are specific options or settings that need to be made during the software's installation, we need to know what you want.
#* If there are specific instructions as to how to configure the software once it is installed, we need to know what you want.
#* The way you tell us what you want is to create a plain text README file for each piece of software that you need to provide information for, and upload those files to the ''/software/'' folder under your Workshop/Lab's folder on the FTP server. See the ''FOSS4G2007 FTP server'' section for more information.
#* '''DO NOT''' add notes to this list with things such as user IDs, etc. - any information such as that belongs in the README file

=== Other ===
* Every PC will have a ''C:\FOSS4G07'' folder, and under that will be one folder for each Workshop and Lab. For example, for Lab-01, ''C:\FOSS4G07\LAB-01''. This is the location you should use for any files that the attendees will be creating/downloading during your Workshop / Lab.
* If using a webserver on the PC, configure it to have it's root directory under your Workshop/Lab's main folder (e.g. C:\FOSS4G07\LAB-01\webroot\).
* The Default Input Language, and installed Keyboard, will be English (United States)
* The Windows XP userid will be the same on all PCs, and will have Administrator access
* Most (perhaps all) of the classroom PCs will have CDROM or DVDROM drives, so attendees will not be able to burn copies of Workshop/Lab materials. If your students should have such material, you will have to arrange to provide it as a handout, or make it available for download from the Internet.
* Some Workshop/Lab Instructors may make some of their classroom material available via a handout, or via the Internet, including packaged with software. The conference organizers will not be supplying a CD/DVD of the software that is loaded onto the classroom PCs.

Wiki-Madair: /* 15:00 to 16:30 */

'''Back to [[FOSS4G2007]] ...'''

Session chairs serve as the "master of ceremonies" for one 90 minute session of presentations. Each session has three 25 minute presentations, with a 5 minute question-and-answer period after each. Chairs are expected to:
* introduce the speakers,
* ensure each speaker stays within his or her 30 minute combined presentations-plus-questions presentation limit,
* ensure the next presentation starts promptly as scheduled, and
* occasionally read off a few reminders and announcements at the end of the session.

Please add your name and email to one or more of the time slots below.

'''We need 5 session chairs for each time slot.'''

Check to ensure you are not presenting or teaching a lab during the session timeslot you are volunteering for.

= General Information =

== Pre-Conference communication ==
'''All Instructors are expected to join the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.'''

For Workshops or Labs with multiple Instructors, all the Instructors should join the mailing list, even if one of the Instructors is handling all the pre-conference organizing for the group.

If you are an Instructor, and have any questions that are not answered by this page, please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

If you need to communicate with the FOSS4G 2007 Workshop Committee, please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

As this page gets updated, periodic reminders may be sent to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.

== Communication during the conference ==
The package you receive when you arrive at the conference will contain information explaining who to contact, and how, if you have any questions or need any assistance during the conference.

== Classroom Materials ==
Materials are things that you may need to hand out in your Workshop or Lab, such as printed handouts, workbooks, quizzes, CDROM, etc. We ask that you do not hand out business cards, however, attendees are free to ask you for your business card.
# Bringing your own materials
#* you may bring your own materials to hand out in your Workshop/Lab
#* you may bring those materials to the Registration desk when you arrive at the conference, and we will store them and deliver them to your classroom for your Workshop or Lab
# Having your materials delivered prior to the conference
#* you may arrange to have your materials delivered to Victoria ahead of your arrival
#* the preferred method would be for you to make such arrangements yourself (e.g. have the materials delivered to your hotel)
#* we can put you in touch with a company that the conference is using, who can assist you with making shipping arrangements
# Having your printed materials printed by the conference organizers
#* '''DEADLINE:''' September 7, 2007
#* the conference committee will provide the option of printing your printed Workshop/Lab materials
#* printed materials need to be formated for printing on 8.5"x11" paper
#* printed materials must be supplied using one of the following formats: Microsoft Word document, Open Office document, PDF document
#* information about how to get the materials to the conference organizers will be available in the near future
# Non-printed materials
#* the conference organizers will not be providing services such as CDROM duplication
#* if you need something such as a copy of a LiveCD/DVD for each PC in your classroom:
#** you can bring those copies with you
#** as indicated above, you can ship them ahead of time
#** you can make the copies once you arrive in Victoria, however, you will be 'on your own' as far as getting this done. The conference organizers are not providing media, or PCs for duplication use(conference PCs may have only CDROM/DVDROM drives). You can purchase media at local stores, and use your own equipment to do the duplication.

== Data ==
'''Instructors will not be able to load data for their Workshops/Labs onto the classroom PCs during the conference'''.

Attendees in the Workshops/Labs will be able to create and download files during their Workshop/Lab. See the ''Classroom PCs Configuration, Other'' section for more information.

If you have any data that you will need for your Workshop/Lab, you must provide it to the conference organizers prior to the conference.

'''Tentative DEADLINE:''' the tentative deadline for providing your data is Friday August 24, 2007.

The mechanism for providing your data will be announced soon.

If you have database tables that are needed for your Workshop/Lab, we will load that data into your own database instance.

== Conference GeoData ==
For this conference, there will be free, publicly available [[Canadian_Geodata|Canadian GeoData]] available for use. This data, and services to access it, will be available to Instructors, via the Internet, prior to the conference. While it is recognized that some Instructors may be using materials for their Workshop/Lab that are already prepared, making some use of the [[Canadian_Geodata|Canadian GeoData]] in your Workshop/Lab is encouraged.

== Classroom PCs Configuration ==
The hardware configurations shown below are subject to change.
=== Hardware - Rental PCs ===
* these PCs will be used for Workshops in the Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Saanich, Sidney, and View Royal rooms
* these PCs will be used for Labs in the Esquimalt room
* all PCs will be substantially the same, with slight variations in the hardware
* a typical PC will have:
** P4/2.8GHZ CPU
** 768 or 1024MB RAM
** 40GB Hard Drive
** CDROM Drive
** 3.5" Floppy Drive
** Onboard Video
** 10/100 Network connection
** 17" LCD Monitor
** Standard Windows keyboard
** Mouse (possibly with scroll wheel)
=== Hardware - Nanaimo PCs ===
* these PCs will be used for Workshops and Labs in the Colwood room
* PCs will be DELL Optiplex 745 Desktop:
** Core2Duo 6300 CPU
** 2GB RAM
** 80GB SATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive
** DVD Drive
** No Floppy Drive
** Onboard Video
** 10/100 Network connection
** 19" LCD Monitor
** Standard Windows keyboard
** Mouse (possibly with scroll wheel)
=== Network ===
* All classroom PCs will be connected to the conference LAN, which will provide access to the server(s) hosting the [[Canadian_Geodata|Canadian GeoData]]
* Although the Conference Center will have WiFi access to the conference LAN, it is expected that classroom attendees will use the classroom PCs for the Workshops and Labs, not their own Laptops
* Classroom PCs will have access to the Internet. If a proxy needs to be configured, those details will be announced once they are known.
* Some Instructors who make use of Internet-based resources for their Workshop/Lab may want to provide their own 'backup server'(e.g. a notebook) to be connected to the conference LAN. '''DEADLINE:''' If you want to do this, you must let the the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007

=== Software ===
The majority of the PCs used for the classrooms are being rented, with the rest being on loan from the City of Nanaimo. The PCs will be prepared by installing and configuring various software onto a small number of 'master PCs'. Those 'master PCs' will then be "cloned" to create the full complement of classroom PCs. The timetable for preparing the classroom PCs will cause there to be certain deadlines, such as a deadline for when the conference organizers must have data that you will need for your Workshop/Lab. As soon as the timetable is finalized, any such deadlines will be announced on the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list.
==== Operating System ====
* All PCs will have Windows XP installed, with the latest service pack and patches (as of mid-September)
* LiveCD
** Instructors who wish to use a LiveCD for their Workshop/Lab must provide the LiveCD
** If you want your LiveCD tested on a classroom PC, the '''Tentative DEADLINE''' for providing your LiveCD to the Workshop Committee is Friday August 31, 2007. Unless you provide a 'script' of additional instructions, the testing will consist of making sure the PC will boot from the LiveCD.
* LiveDVD
** there will be limited availability of classroom PCs that have a DVD drive
** '''DEADLINE:''' If you plan to use a LiveDVD, you must let the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007
** Instructors who wish to use a LiveDVD for their Workshop/Lab must provide the LiveDVD
** If you want your LiveDVD tested on a classroom PC, the '''Tentative DEADLINE''' for providing your LiveDVD to the Workshop Committee is Friday August 31, 2007. Unless you provide a 'script' of additional instructions, the testing will consist of making sure the PC will boot from the LiveDVD.
* Virtual Machines
** most Workshops/Labs will be using either Windows XP or booting from a LiveCD/DVD
** if neither of those options is suitable for your Workshop/Lab, you may use a Virtual Machine
*** '''DEADLINE:''' If you wish to use a Virtual Machine, you must let the Workshop Committee know by August 6, 2007
*** the Virtual Machine must be provided by the same mechanism, and by the same date, as for "Data"(see above)

==== Application and Utility Software ====
* Information such as user ids and passwords, database connection details, etc. will be provided to Instructors in the Instructor Handout that you will receive at the registration desk and/or prior to the conference via the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list
* If your Workshop/Lab deals with software installation, it is expected that will be explained by the Instructor (e.g. via slides), and will '''not''' involve actual installation of the software
* The English-language version of software will be installed
* Web Browsers will have their homepage set to [http://www.foss4g2007.org/ http://www.foss4g2007.org/]
For Workshop and Lab Instructors who will be using Windows XP:
# If there is any software that is needed for your Workshop/Lab that is not listed below, add it to the list, including a version number, and a link to where it can be downloaded
# For each piece of software in the list that you require for your Workshop/Lab, edit this page and add your Workshop/Lab "ID number" to the line below the software
#* use "Wnn" for Workshops (e.g. W01,W02,W10) and "Lnn" for Labs (e.g. L01,L02,L10)
# If the software doesn't list a specific version number, or only a major version number is shown:
#* if a version number is not listed, or only a major version number is shown, the version that is installed will be the latest non-beta release that is available when the 'master PCs' are being built
#* if you require a specific version for your Workshop/Lab add the specific version number after the software's name, and add a link to where it can be downloaded
# If the software has a version number listed, and it is different than the version that is required for your Workshop/Lab, then please send an email to the [http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2007-workshops FOSS4G2007-Workshops] mailing list so that you and the other Instructors who need that software can resolve what version will be loaded onto the 'master PCs'

=== Other ===
* Every PC will have a ''C:\FOSS4G07'' folder, and under that will be one folder for each Workshop and Lab. For example, for Lab-01, ''C:\FOSS4G07\LAB-01''. This is the location you should use for any files that the attendees will be creating/downloading during your Workshop / Lab.
* If using a webserver on the PC, configure it to have it's root directory under your Workshop/Lab's main folder (e.g. C:\FOSS4G07\LAB-01\webroot\).
* The Default Input Language, and installed Keyboard, will be English (United States)
* The Windows XP userid will be the same on all PCs, and will have Administrator access
* Most (perhaps all) of the classroom PCs will have CDROM or DVDROM drives, so attendees will not be able to burn copies of Workshop/Lab materials. If your students should have such material, you will have to arrange to provide it as a handout, or make it available for download from the Internet.
* Some Workshop/Lab Instructors may make some of their classroom material available via a handout, or via the Internet, including packaged with software. The conference organizers will not be supplying a CD/DVD of the software that is loaded onto the classroom PCs.

= Workshops =
[http://www.foss4g2007.org/workshops/ Workshops] are 3-hour hands-on courses in full computer classrooms. They are only open to registered workshops attendees.

== Workshop Dates and Times ==
* Monday, September 24, 2007
** 09:00-12:00 six Morning Workshops (W-01 to W-06)
** 13:00-16:00 six Afternoon Workshops (W-07 to W-12)

== Workshop number of attendees ==
The conference secretariat will notify Instructors via email on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 how many people are registered for your workshop. For Workshops that have not reached their maximum size (based on the classroom sizes), that number may change because people can register for the Workshops at the conference. It is anticipated that all Workshops will be fully booked, because Early Bird registration, which ended July 27th, has filled 9 of the 12 Workshops.

== People planning to attend ==
The OSGeo booth will be a place where most OSGeo folks will go to at one time or another. Ideally we have full coverage of every project by a representative of that project at all times at the booth. To get things organized just a bit we need to have some people at the booth at all times. Please add yourself to the list, even if it is for one morning or evening only so that we can get an overview where it might be critical. Most traffic will be during the breaks and there will be lots of time to chat with others also hangin out at the booth during all those boring sessions going on. So please feel free to drop by.

For questions, contact Arnulf Christl (mailto:arnulf@osgeo.org) or Tina Mena, tina.mena@autodesk.com.

AJAX WebMapping Project Request

2006-08-28T22:39:38Z

Wiki-Madair: /* foss4g2006 conference */

[https://mail.osgeo.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=webmap-discuss webmap-discuss list has been set up]

Motion "AJAX WebMapping" mailing list from Cameron Shorter by email:

== Description ==
What could be good is if we set up a ajax-mapping list which has
representatives from all the OS AJAX web mapping projects.

== Aims ==
On it we can discuss ideas on how to implement different functionality
with the long term aim that we develop a set of common libraries that we
all can use.

== OSGeo Projects ==
* mapbuilder
* mapbender
* ka-map (interested)
* worldkit (interested)
* OpenLayers (interested)
* [http://maps.civicactions.net/ CivicMaps] (another possible..)

After adoption (going throughthis incubator) the mailing list "AJAX WebMapping" would be part of the OSGeo project infrastructure (run by CollabNet). Alternatively, it could be set up as a list of an existing project, probably ka.map or MapBuilder, once they moved into osgeo.

==foss4g2006 conference==
At foss4g2006 in Lausanne all interested AJAX webMapping Projects are invited to partecipate at the conference on wednesday afternoon at 18:00 -> 20:00 (room not known yet).

Projects registering in the attendance list below we'll be invited to present for 10 minutes (depending on available time) their best features, their lacking features and wich features they would like to share with other projects.

After the presentation we'll start the debate: depending on presentations results we'll try to plan a medium term accion to evaluate common needings and a long term accion to develop a common framework.

'''Target public''' is intended to be AJAX web mapping '''developer'''.

Attendance:
* '''Ka-Map''' (Paul Spencer, Lorenzo Becchi, Andrea Cappugi)
* '''OpenLayers''' (Schuyler Erle)
* '''MapGuide Open Source''' (Robert Bray)
* '''Mapbuilder''' (Steven Ottens, Michael Adair)

My time is made possible by [http://topp.openplans.org The Open Planning Project (TOPP)], a great non-profit in New York that has been the lead supporter of GeoServer for years now. I spent the last year in Zambia on a Fulbright Scholarship, looking at the potential for open source software to help implement spatial data infrastructures in developing countries. It was a bit of a failure, but I learned a ton, and I see a lot of potential for open source in developing countries, towards truly open spatial data infrastructures. I'm back at TOPP, in a new role as VP of Strategic Development, helping to grow the organization, and figuring out how to make our geospatial stuff self sustaining. Once that's rolling, I hope to reinvest extra revenue in to figuring out and building a truly open geospatial web. And just like apache and linux are the bedrock that the World Wide Web rests on, so too do I believe that the geospatial web necessarily must be built on a foundation of OS Geo software.

| Came to geospatial software through collaborative mapping on the semantic web work. Organising events to get geospatial hackers together with data-creating people and promote public access to state collected geodata. If you are in Europe please see [http://publicgeodata.org Public Geodata] and consider writing to an MEP about public domain data and "intellectual property rights" issues. If you collect GPS tracks, please consider uploading them to [http://openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetmap] - my only real contribution to this project is to talk about it a lot. I co-wrote "Mapping Hacks" with Schuyler Erle and Rich Gibson, with a lot of contributions from OSGeo type of people. Last year wrote a lot of software using OSM and [http://openguides.org/ OpenGuides] with [[Mapserver]] to provide a basis for collaborative local "portal" type services on community wireless networks. Now more interested in doing collaborative writing and research projects. [[User:JoWalsh]]
