[OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for Speakers at the Open Source GIS Track for the 2014 CLSA Conference in Reno, Nevada
The committee that organizes the Annual California Land Surveyors Association (CLSA) Conference is interested in having a half day or full day event on open source GIS at the 2014 Conference. They've asked me to put together some information about our event schedule and the speakers. I've put up a preliminary event schedule based on a full day event with two tracks here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CLSA_2014_Conference_OSGeo_Open_Source_GIS_Track I've left several open slots. Here are some sample topics that could be plugged into those open slots: - Python scripting with QGIS. - The business case for GIS. - Linear referencing in GIS. - Introduction to QGIS. - GIS database concepts with PostGIS. - Remote sensing with ballons or low cost drones. Other topics might also be acceptable. I'd like to keep the GIS concepts and GIS software parts of the event very simple and easy for beginners. This will have greater appeal for most land surveyors. The last part of the event on GIS programming can be geared towards more experienced GIS users. Let me know if you'd be willing to come out to Reno in the spring to give a talk. I'll get the conference registration waived. (I've got three speakers from our local chapter, but I could use a couple more.) Thanks.

Hi Landon, while reading your list some tpics come to my mind which might be of interest to the audience additionally: - Big Data in GIS - adding temporal dimensions to Coordinate Reference Systems (yes, it's supposed to be plural!) - Open standards in GIS - still relevant? my 2 cents, Peter On 05/27/2013 10:28 PM, Landon Blake wrote: The committee that organizes the Annual California Land Surveyors Association (CLSA) Conference is interested in having a half day or full day event on open source GIS at the 2014 Conference.

Landon, I presented an Open Source for Surveyors a while back which you might want to make use of: http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/report-from-osgeo-stand-at-federation.html You might also want to draw upon a subset of the OSGeo-Live presentation: https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/ On 28/05/2013 6:41 AM, Peter Baumann wrote: Hi Landon, while reading your list some tpics come to my mind which might be of interest to the audience additionally: - Big Data in GIS - adding temporal dimensions to Coordinate Reference Systems (yes, it's supposed to be plural!) - Open standards in GIS - still relevant? my 2 cents, Peter On 05/27/2013 10:28 PM, Landon Blake wrote: The committee that organizes the Annual California Land Surveyors Association (CLSA) Conference is interested in having a half day or full day event on open source GIS at the 2014 Conference.
