If anyone has any pointers, I'd appreciate it.


Looks like Sextante GIS has some tools coming too:

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source, Open Standards and Re-Use: UK Government Action Plan

[Cameron Shorter]

I'd love to see a FOSS4G presentation, or even a thread of presentations 
+ panel, about Open Source Policy initiatives at the Government level, 
especially if it can be discussed in conjunction with specific 
geospatial examples.


Could also be a good "Birds of a Feather" session.
Who knows a good person to invite to give such presentations?

Thank you to everyone who has provided translations so far at:

This is the 2nd annual Geocamp. This year, we've decided to expand and
invite developers and users from other communities such as Eclipse, Drupal,
Perl, Python, Ruby, and more. We hope that this stimulates cross pollination
of ideas and plenty of outreach.
 
The event will take place at Algonquin College, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on
May 13, 14, and 15.
 
Please see details and instructions on submitting presentation proposals on
the http://fosslc.org web site:

Not sure about the BSD licensing part, but here are some cool TIN triangulators 
which are open source.


This one (Streaming Delaunay) has BSD-like license, but may be overkill for 
what you need:

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2009: One week extension to Workshops and Tutorial abstract submissions

[Jeff McKenna]

Cameron Shorter wrote:

Sydney, Australia. 2 March 2009.

In response to requests from presenters, the deadline for the FOSS4G 
2009 workshop and tutorial abstract submissions has been extended by one 
week, to Monday 9 March 2009. If you are considering submitting a 
workshop, please notify your intent by emailing the Workshop/Tutorial 
coordinator, Mark Leslie m a r k . l e s l i e AT l i s a s o f t . c o m



   About FOSS4G

FOSS4G, held 20-23 October 2009 in Sydney, Australia, is the 
international "gathering of tribes" for open source geospatial 
communities. The theme for the FOSS4G 2009 conference will be "User 
Driven". Users and developers are encouraged present their latest 
projects and software to demonstrate the power of Open Source for system 
integration through a series of workshop sessions and tutorial 
presentations. Session participants should expect to see presentations 
on both geospatial open source and propriety software integration along 
with pure open source solutions.



   Workshops

Workshops are expected to be a hands-on experience with participants 
following along with the instructor, working directly with the 
application under discussion. All workshop rooms will be equipped with 
computers (two students sharing one system) to support this vision. 
Workshop computers will pre-installed with a basic image containing 
standard packages running in a Windows XP environment. A projector will 
be provided for each computer room for use within a workshop. 
Instructors will need to discuss pre-installation requirements with the 
Conference Organising Committee if required.


Workshops are expected to require considerable effort to create, with 
past experience showing that three days of preparation per hour of 
presentation are required to produce a high quality workshop. 
Additionally you will be expected to develop material for attendees to 
take home with them, such as handouts, workbook, CD-ROMs etc. Due to the 
effort involved in producing and presenting a workshop, instructors will 
receive a single complementary registration to the conference for 
delivering a workshop.


All workshop submissions will be considered, but particular interest 
will be shown in the following topics:


   * Practical Introduction to 
   * Integrating Open Source
   * Spatial Data Privacy and Security


   Tutorials

Tutorial rooms will not be equipped with computers, however presenters 
may optionally make use of delegate laptops and the FOSS4G LiveDVD.


At least 80% of delegates are expected to be carrying a laptop and 
FOSS4G LiveDVDs will be given to all delegates.


Preference will be given to hands-on tutorials.

Any hands-on aspects to a tutorial will be the responsibility of the 
presenter and needs to be described in the tutorial description. 
Presenters making use of the Live DVD or Climate Change Integration 
Plugfest (CCIP) will be expected to contribute to testing pre-releases 
to ensure material and software is properly installed. To discuss your 
requirements for LiveDVD, please contact the organising committee: 
http://2009.foss4g.org/contacts/.


All tutorial submissions will be considered, but particular interest 
will be shown in the following topics:


   * Practical introductions
   * Interoperability
   * Spatial data accuracy
   * Spatial data privacy
   * Spatial data security
   * System implementation
   * Data migration



Submission instructions and templates are available at 
http://2009.foss4g.org/workshops/ and http://2009.foss4g.org/tutorials/.


The deadline for workshop / tutorial submissions is March 2, 2009.


   FOSS4G 2009 Highlights

*The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP)*: FOSS4G will launch the 
OGC's Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates 
standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary 
geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual 
machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards 
based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, 
and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications 
installed on client computers. 
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome 



Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios 
and on-site data from the Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP). 
This is especially important as demand for access to data over the 
internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow 
connections to the outside world.


*FOSS4G Live DVD*: LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and 
including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all 
delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the 
software without installing or effecting the existing system.

Hi,
We would like to add a local language message for our key FOSS4G  
selling page, which will be copied onto our web page, and locally  
targeted media releases.


Please let us know if you can help (ideally within the upcoming  
week). We are looking for one page of translation, which is to be  
copied into subversion here:

https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2009/documents/propaganda/What%20is%20FOSS4G%20en.doc

I've copied the text below as well:


FOSS4G 2009 – More than an international Geospatial Open Source  
Conference


The conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial  
(FOSS4G) will be held from 20-23 October, 2009 in Sydney, Australia.  
_http://2009.foss4g.org _


Growing out of regional Open Source community meetings, the FOSS4G  
conference has been reborn in recent years as a meeting place for  
international geospatial experts to gather and discuss the problems  
and opportunities of the day. With themes ranging from the  
integration of Open Source with Proprietary systems to the building  
of Spatial Data Infrastructures and application of Open Geospatial  
Standards, the conference offers a unique opportunity to tap into  
the wealth of knowledge and experience available among the Open  
Source developers, sponsors and geospatial professionals of all  
persuasions.



  Highlights from FOSS4G 2009 include:

*The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP)*: FOSS4G will launch  
the OGC's Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which  
demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source  
and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of servers with  
multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial  
applications offering standards based web services. There will be  
many opportunities to review SDI components, and talk directly to  
vendors and implementers about the effectiveness of different  
approaches and components.

*FOSS4G Live DVD*: Live DVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system  
and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all  
delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the  
software without installing or affecting the existing system.

*Installfest*: The informal Installfest pre-dinner slot will give  
delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a  
wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEPC or any other  
system they care to bring in. Community members will be on hand to  
assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the  
software.



*Workshops and Tutorials*: Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters  
to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or  
other topics in an interactive environment.



*Presentations*: The meat of the conference is its presentations.  
Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international  
experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics  
in the industry today. Expect to hear honest presentations  
discussing weaknesses as well as strengths, like the famous Web Map  
Server performance shootout.



*Birds of a Feather*: Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised  
meetings between like minded groups. Some prominent community  
initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.



*Code Sprint*: The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers'  
Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of  
bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that,  
but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image).
