 * "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.
-* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks.  This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line.  We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session.  We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.

The intention is to have folks bring their linux laptop or have new folks use a live dvd and go over some command line foo in a small group for the 1.75 hours.
