[OSGeo-Discuss] Conf for 2008
Ok, so we haven't even had this years conf, but given the time it takes for a local chapter to organise a conf, I think it would be a good idea to start the process for selecting the location for the 2008 conf. If all goes well, perhaps the 2008 conf location could be announced at the closing session of foss4g2007? Just a thought, Tim Bowden ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

As the conference committee chair I was thinking of an end of April release of the hosting-RFP (as Perry, it has been also on my mind, but Mar31st deadlines get in the way!). jeff Pericles S.

You're absolutely right, of course, get the process started now so that the next year's host will have time to prepare. Many of the big conference facilities need reservation almost a year in advance. The earlier the location is selected the sooner the hosts can book a place. -Perry Tim Bowden wrote: Ok, so we haven't even had this years conf, but given the time it takes for a local chapter to organise a conf, I think it would be a good idea to start the process for selecting the location for the 2008 conf.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Conf for 2008
If you commit to a schedule now, that will give the teams time and MOTIVATION to start organizing themselves and figuring out things they need to know in advance of the request (what venues, what costs, what committee members, etc, etc). For example: - April 31, release RFP - May 31, close RFP - June 15, announce decision There is nothing like ones imminent demise to focus the mind.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Topology - Geography
I would describe the topological relationships as something like this; region A connects to regions B, C D region B connects to regions A E region C connects to region A and so on And then the (hypothetical) tool would construct geometry that satisfies the above topological relationships, whilst also being reasonably pleasing to the eye. In this case five polygons or boxes, either bordering each other, or maybe connected by lines. nick Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Queensland Transport or Maritime Safety Queensland, or endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure.
