FOSS4G2007 Demos

2007-08-21T21:09:32Z

Wiki-Sbayarri: /* Demo Schedule */

Back to [[FOSS4G2007]]...

One of the great attractions to an international conference like this is a chance to show off your work. At FOSS4G 2006 there was a set of demo tables, that were used with some effect with a timeslot set up opposite other events ...

We can do better.

At OOPSLA they had a separate demo track, as an alternate series of presentations. This allowed for a range of expression: slick marketing presentations, interesting home brew, and everything in between.

For FOSS4G 2007 we are going to take this approach with a room dedicated to the demo theatre, with facilities and schedule of its own.

== Hapless Volunteers ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* Gary Wong
* Jesse Eichar

Where possible we will try and have community leaders introduce the members of their community that are offering demos.

= Demo Theatre =

== Demo Venue ==

The "Sidney" room is available for the demo theatre (see [[FOSS4G2007 VCC Rooms]]). The Sidney room is located near the lunch area, in order to capture people recently refreshed with coffee and/or sustenance.

A couple of notes:
* During the demos we should make sure to send the people to the exhibitor's booths, so they can get more detailed information, that they cannot get from the demo presentations. (--[[User:Arnulf Christl|Seven]] 12:20, 30 July 2007 (CEST))
* Similarly those providing a demo of a Poster may be directed there for more information on what they have seen.

== Demo Facilities ==

* We will have two overheads projectors (so one team can set up as another is presenting).
* a table will be provided for handouts or marketing material

== Demo Schedule ==

This wiki is being used to construct the [http://www.foss4g2007.org/exhibition/demotheatre/ official schedule]:
* Primary spots are near Lunch and Morning Coffee (these time slots have the most walk-by traffic to feed on)
* Additional timeslots will be opened up if needed
* We will group similar content together (both to allow direct comparison and to let those interested in a topic to mark off a block of time)
* We will need to be sure not to conflict with the presentation program (setting up cool examples of GRASS opposite the GRASS track would not be a good thing)
* Demos are the last thing to be Scheduled in terms of conference priorities (we need to be sure that [http://www.foss4g2007.org/labs/ Labs] and [http://www.foss4g2007.org/presentations/ Presentations] are accounted for first)

* If you would like to do a demonstration in the theatre, please contact the theatre coordinator at demos@foss4g2007.org.

= Giving a Demo =

The first step is to have something to demo:
* You have 10 minutes
* You must demo software (really - it is an open source software conference)
* Show us, rather that talk. It is better to show software and leave time for questions than to try and handle this as a presentation.
* Source code is hard to read and does not qualify for "show us"
* You will have 5 mins to set up prior, and 5 mins to tear down. Please be prompt as there is someone waiting to start after you.
* Sponsors (or anyone starting a session): you will have access to the room for a bit before the session starts - if you want to take the time drag in a poster (or put hand outs on the chairs) more power to you.

The second step is to email us:
* [demos@foss4g2007.org mailto:demos@foss4g2007.org?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration]
* Let us know of any schedule constraints (perhaps you are presenting or giving a lab)
* We will get back to you with a timeslot (we will be organizing the demos according to subject matter or community).

== Suggestions ==

Is this your first time doing a demo?
* If you are used to doing presentations; try this approach: Show the software and hand out your presentation in paper form.
* Be excited, what you are showing is *cool* and meeting people like you is why we come to these conferences anyways
* Hang around to the end of the session, many people that would like to ask you questions will be hesitant to walk out of the room to chase you down.

You may also wish to bring:
* Something to hand out (Your business card, demo-CDs, academic papers, t-shirts)

If you would like to have someone introduce you please warn them before hand:
- Your professor? Your company's marketing department? Your open source project lead?

Let people know where to find you:
* For sponsors - be sure to include a slide showing the location of your booth
* For academics - let them know if you have a poster up

== Warning ==

Bring your own laptop, do not expect to install software during your demo (you only have 10 minutes).
* This advice can be ignored if you want to demo the fact you have a slick installer now
* You may wish to make a back up "flash" demo (use wink) in case the worst happens
* Turn off virus checkers, ebay bidding tools, email applications and anything else that is going to leap up and ask for attention in an embarrassing manner

With respect to the Internet:
* Ensure you can connect to the wireless network before starting your presentation
* We will try and have a LAN drop for you
* Expect the Internet to be slow (there are a lot of fun toys at a conference like this all of which want their piece of the packet pie)
* Run from a local service installed on your laptop if you can

The GSDI Association organizes the [http://gsdi.org/gsdi10/ International Conference for Spatial Data Infrastructure 2007]. OSGeo will submit [http://gsdi.org/gsdi10/workshops.html proposals for Workshop] sessions to demonstrate the FOSS SDI stack. Please help to put together a comprehensive proramm, submission deadline is June 1st.

There is interest from several projects:
* [[GeoNetwork]] opensource
* [[GeoServer]]
* [[Mapbender]]
* gvSIG (will request OSGeo entry soon)
* ''please add more only if you can contribute''

OSGeo can highlight the whole software stack and present how it interoperates plus explain FOSS advantages beyond the obvious.

=== Workshop Proposal ===
1. Proposed Workshop Title

2. Organizer/Contact Person (name, title, address, country, phone, fax, e-mail)
: Open Source Geospatial Foundation
: [[User:Arnulf Christl | Arnulf Christl]] Board Member, (event owner)
:
: Siemensstr. 8
: 53111, Bonn
: Germany

3. Workshop Description and Goals (250 words or less suitable for posting on the web. Please include in the description if the session will involve lecture, hands-on exercises, group exercises, etc. and whether any take-home materials will be supplied and indicate whether participants should bring a laptop computer or anything else to the workshop.)

4. Workshop Topics in First Session (90 Minutes)
: This workshop gives a technical introduction to OSGeo SDI software projects given an overview of features, programming languages used, interfaces, standards and cross project activities. In a short introduction the scope of the projects is described and what level of proficiency is required to install, maintain and operate the packages. All projects have in common that they are licensed as Free and Open Source Software and are operated with an open governance model. The second part of this Workshop will focus on how to participate in the processes of these projects and how to find out which level of involvement gives best return on investment.

5. If needed, Workshop Topics in Second Session (90 Minutes)
: Hands-on demonstration of how to set up a map and a feature services, add meta data, publish and use services from GIS client and orchestrate all of it.

6. Tentative Workshop Instructors/Speakers (list name, title, affiliation - these do not have to be confirmed at this time)
* Arnulf Christl, OSGeo, Mapbender, WhereGroup
* Christ Holmes, The Open Planning Project
* Jeroen Ticheler, FAO, GeoNetwork opensource
* Salvador Bayarri, IVER, gvSIG Project

7. Intended Audience (technicians, managers, policymakers, introductory, advanced, etc.) and any required skills or interests they should possess
* Policymakers
* Managers
* Technicians
* Introductory

8. Indicate Preferred Room and Size: e.g. prefer computer lab with 40 person capacity, prefer classroom style with tables and 80 person capacity
* Anybody feel like having an opinion? The larger the better. If people are connected they can follow the links given in the workshop and potentially follow the workshop online (if we have it online until then - but that should be posible).

=== Letter from the Organizers ===
Workshops this time will be offered under a slightly different
arrangement that we hope will attract strong attendance. We are
requesting workshop proposals by the end of this month so that people
registering for the conference will be able to sign up for specific
workshops in advance. In this manner instructors will know the number of
people attending their workshops and have the contact information for
their participants in advance.

We highly encourage you to submit a workshop proposal. For reference,
the description of the workshop you presented in Santiago in 2006 may be
found at http://www.gsdi.org/gsdiconf/gsdi9/english/09_Act_Work_Sched.htm.
Submit your proposal on or before 1 June 2007 to onsrud@gsdi.org with a
copy to astevens@gsdi.org. If you submit, you should have a decision by
the evaluation committee in early June.
