Topic Lead Facilitator Participants Venue Time Description
Google Maps API Wayne Manuel 20 GE Computer Lab Morning Google Maps (https://developers.google.com/maps/) has a wide array of APIs that let you embed the robust functionality and everyday usefulness of Google Maps into your own website and applications, and overlay your own data on top of them.
Using Leaflet Eugene Alvin Villar Leaflet (http://leaflet.cloudmade.com/) is a modern open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. t is built from the ground up to work efficiently on both desktop and mobile platforms like iOS and Android, taking advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 on modern browsers.


Editing OpenStreetMap Data Rally de Leon OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) is a project that creates and provides free geographic data and mapping to anyone who wants it. We started it because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways. This session will introduce how to to edit data in OpenStreetMap.
Advance Cartography with Quantum GIS Maning Sambale 15 (max)

Quantum GIS (http://www.qgis.org) is a user friendly GIS that runs on several operating systems (Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android). QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU Public License. This workshop is a technical demonstration and hands-on tutorial in the use of QGIS using the advance cartographic styling features of the application.

GeoNode Marx Tupas

Geonode (http://geonode.org) is an integrated platform for the management and publication of geospatial data. Its data management tools allow for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the GeoNode instance contains.

TileMill (http://tilemill.com) is a design studio for creating stunning interactive maps developed by MapBox for cartography, constituting Mapnik as a renderer, Carto as a stylesheet language, and a locally-served web interface with node.js as a server and based on Backbone.js for the client. Since version 0.9.0, the web server is wrapped with a native GUI on all supported platforms.

Geoprocessing with Python
Geoserver Jules Bañgate

GeoServer (http://geoserver.org/) - a server written in Java that allows users to share, process and edit geospatial data. Designed for interoperability, it publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards.

GRASS GIS Jules Bañgate

GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) is a software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.
