FOSS4G 2009 BirdsOfAFeather

This webpage needs details filled in similar to http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2007_BOF_Sessions

= Introduction = During the FOSS4G2009 conference in Sydney, Australia, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.

Birds-Of-A-Feather sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Birds of a Feather sessions will be held on Thursday 22nd October.

A number of rooms are available. First ones in get the rooms.

Organising Contact

 * Bruce Bannerman, Tyler Mitchell

Timeslots Available
At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 1615 to 1715.

The rooms will be available for longer, however remember that the FOSS4G Harbour Cruise Dinner starts at 1900.

If we get a lot of demand, we may need to reduce the time that each room is available for. This will allow us to share the resources between more people.

Rooms Available

 * Parkside G01, capacity 70 people
 * Parkside G02, capacity 70 people
 * Parkside G03, capacity 80 people
 * Parkside G04, capacity 170 people
 * Parkside G05, capacity 50 people

Please note:

We are currently looking at additional options for places to run the BOF sessions in.

Rooms will be allocated to BOF sessions closer to the event.

= Timetable = Below is a summary of the BOFs and when/where they will be run. Contact Tyler or Bruce for any questions or changes. Times and rooms may change - changes will be posted on announcement boards during the event.

= BOF organization = You can use this page to organize your BOF session:
 * create a section below for your BOF
 * have people edit this page to indicate they will be attending
 * if you need a bigger room than that which has been assigned to you, let Tyler or Bruce know
 * you must provide a contact person who is managing the meeting
 * also make your description as clear as possible, for many attendees it will be the only thing they read before choosing one
