On behalf of the ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies, I am
happy to announce the Open Source GIS WebMapping workshop on 24th April
2012 at 15th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science,
Avignon, France. The workshop is organised and run by Barend Köbben (Faculty of
Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, ITC University of Twente,
Netherlands).
The workshop will start with a short introduction of Open Source GIS and
webmapping technology, followed by practicals. Participants are asked to bring
their laptops, we will provide the theory, the software and guidance. We have a
set of exercises that guide the participants in setting up a webmapping site
using OpenStreetMap data, adding their own data using the desktop QGIS
application, serving that data as a Web Map Service and finally bringing it all
together on a interactive slippy map website using OpenLayers.
