<p>after-action report</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This is the &quot;after action report&quot; on our attendence at GeoWeb 2006 ([[OSGeo_at_GeoWeb2006]]).<br /> <br /> === Summary ===<br /> <br /> GeoWeb 20006 had ~250 attendees, up from ~100 in previous years (when it was called GML Days). It is a less technical conference than it used to be, but attracts developers, product managers, execs, etc. The event has no open source component.<br /> <br /> Our attendence was limited to a couple presentations and some flyers. Given the minimal expense -- basically just the flyers (which I covered anyway) -- it was certainly worth it in that we simply continued to spread the Open Source message to more people.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Presentations ===<br /> <br /> * mpg presented his &quot;Introduction to OSGeo&quot; presentation (30-40 in attendence)<br /> ** did get stumped by one question (&quot;copyright policy for contributed projects?&quot;), oops<br /> ** I will put my slides on the &quot;library&quot; pages<br /> ** gave away the last Where 2.0 shirt :-)<br /> <br /> * mpg did two panel sessions (representing both OSGeo and LizardTech)<br /> <br /> * Gary gave his &quot;why Autodesk went to open source&quot; keynote - went well, is available for podcast at [[http://geoweb2006.invokemedia.com/mp3/friday-plenary.mp3]]<br /> <br /> * Ian T. presented a paper (I didn't get to see it, sorry)<br /> <br /> <br /> === Booth ===<br /> <br /> We did not have an OSGeo-specific booth, but Autodesk did allow us to put some flyers in their booth. I had made up a few dozen &quot;booklets&quot; consisting of the per-project flyers, plus a several dozen of Tyler's new one-page overview flyer -- the Autodesk guys were nice enough to push them out to people. (I was not able to spend any time at the booth.)<br /> <br /> Only a dozen or so of the 1-page flyers were left at the end.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Misc ===<br /> <br /> * Our own Jason B was there for a day (attending one of my (non-OSGeo) talks).<br /> <br /> * Geoff Z. from Autodesk and a few others mentioned OSGeo and our efforts during their own presentations<br /> <br /> * mpg got a number of people asking questions, etc, after his presentation<br /> <br /> * One exec from a small but well known GIS company said he'd like to join us (mpg will forward details to FunCom).<br /> <br /> * mpg got to meet Lisa L -- seems to have a good background for what we need!<br /> <br /> * mpg was unable to participate in the meetup; not sure if it happened in the end or not</div>
