So is the conference about "Free" and "Open Source" software ...
or "Free and Open Source software" ...

Looking at MapViewer pages - trying to see if I can download the source
code:
- http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/mapviewer/index.html
I can download an EAR file (but need the usual I am not a terrorist
disclaimer) and "Oracle Technology Network Development License
Agreement" - not sure if that is an open source license or not?
It does have the following:
Open Source
"Open Source" software - software available without charge for use,
modification and distribution - is often licensed under terms that
require the user to make the user's modifications to the Open Source
software or any software that the user 'combines' with the Open Source
software freely available in source code form. If you use Open Source
software in conjunction with the programs, you must ensure that your
use does not: (i) create, or purport to create, obligations of us with
respect to the Oracle programs; or (ii) grant, or purport to grant, to
any third party any rights to or immunities under our intellectual
property or proprietary rights in the Oracle programs. For example,
you may not develop a software program using an Oracle program and an
Open Source program where such use results in a program file(s) that
contains code from both the Oracle program and the Open Source program
(including without limitation libraries) if the Open Source program is
licensed under a license that requires any "modifications" be made
freely available. You also may not combine the Oracle program with
programs licensed under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") in any
manner that could cause, or could be interpreted or asserted to cause,
the Oracle program or any modifications thereto to become subject to
the terms of the GPL.
Bleck; I just wish they would publish their jdbc drivers in a maven
repository some where and get out of my way. Nice database - shame about
the source code.

Oracle has submitted this workshop proposal to the "Free and Open
Source Software for Geospatial 2007 Conference".
This workshop describes how to use Oracle Database Express Edition
(XE) and Oracle MapViewer to develop a simple yet powerful geospatial
web application called “Geo Tags”. Documents (photos, pdf or word
docs, video clips) are geo-tagged and stored in the database.
MapViewer displays the locations referenced in the geo-tags and
retrieves documents at, or within, a user specified location.
