[talk-au] OSM involvement @ Foss4g2009

2009-03-05 Thread Sarah Manley 

Dear All,

I recently received this message, and was curious is anyone is already  
involved or planning to be? I am based out of SF, and would be willing  
to help from a distance.


Best,
Sarah

Subject: Re: [Foss4g2009-private] Summary time!

Hi all,

They guys at OSM & CloudMade should be interested in a Mapping Party
as well as a tutorial to the latest tools coming out of CloudMade
during FOSS4G2009 - they are doing impressive stuff:
http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects

Just note that mapping party is meant to be open to all - an informal
get together (with pre-registered interest) before or during the
conference and is not strictly a workshop tutorial.

I think the best approach for the mapping party is to email the Sarah
Manley who can help publicize the event and (I think) help organise
the logistics to some extent. I've cc'd Sarah - hope I'm not being
presumptuous o_O

Mark, do we have an OpenStreetMap submission?
I'm hopeful that they take a tutorial slot, which would take them  
outside

walking around the streets.
Has someone checked against the program for 2007, 2008 workshops  
and labs to
determine whether there are other areas not covered? It would be  
good to

send a letter to these presenters saying something like:

"We notice that your project was represented at the 2008  
conference. Will
you, or someone else from your project be presenting a workshop at  
FOSS4G

2009?

Details are ..."

I didn't want to interrupt the fervour, but I'll fire out a quick  
summary

now.

So far we've got:
 10 Workshops
   2 PostGIS-ish
   2 MapServer
   1 MapFish
   1 OS Business
   1 GeoExt
   1 SEXTANTE
   1 OpenLayers
   1 GeoNetwork
 5 Tutorials
   1 MapFish
   1 GeoExt
   1 Community Schemas
   1 ILWIS
   1 Security Layer

So there are two things that are not well represented here, desktop
clients and tutorials.  Word has it that there's a uDig workshop  
coming down
the pipe.  Jeff is chasing GRASS and QGIS, Simon is after MapGuide  
and FDO.
 Jody is prodding away for an OpenJUMP presenter.  degree and  
GeoServer are

currently MIA.

What we really need are some clever use-casey tutorials that will  
show a
single blob of functionality.  The complex features Rob is  
offering is a
good example, or the security layer by 52N.  Something that builds  
upon

general knowledge.  Any thoughts?

   Mark,
   Tomorrow, Tuesday, can you please send a list of workshops  
and

   tutorials that have been submitted, or are planned to be
submitted.
   I expect we'd then be able to identify gaps, and chase  
specific

   people of groups for a workshop.

   If there are specific workshops that didn't go as well
   previously, it would be good to note those now, so that we  
don't

   chase them.


   I see big gaps here:

   - no GRASS workshop submissions
   - no QGIS workshop submissions
   - no GeoServer workshop submissions
   - no MapGuide Open Source workshop submissions

   (I usually have to chase after the GRASS and QGIS community  
every

   year for submissions, and I'll do the same this year)
