Sydney, Australia. 14 August 2009. http://2009.foss4g.org

The FOSS4G conference is famous for its community driven, extra-curricular activities, and FOSS4G 2009 wiki pages are now open for community members to define these activities. So if you want to get more out of FOSS4G than just be a participant, if you have a topic you want to discuss, a message you want to share, a product you want to show off, or you want to network with light minded people, then please consider adding your name to one of the following activities.

==The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP)==
A demonstration of standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications based on a Climate Change Scenario.

==Birds of a Feather==
Semi-organised meetings between like-minded groups. Add a discussion topic that expect will attract like minded people, and you wish to coordinate. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_BirdsOfAFeather

==Installfest==
At the start of the conference, community members will be helping delegates install a wide variety of FOSS software on delegates laptops. Add the name of your project and yourself to the wiki if you will be attending. See also the Live DVD. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_InstallFest

==Posters==
Limited poster boards will be on hand for the duration of the conference. Add your proposed project and contact details to the wiki so we can determine how big posters should be, and how many we can accept. Monitor poster discussion on the foss4g email list. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Posters

==Demo Theater==
Ten minute product presentation slots will be running during morning tea and lunch breaks. These presentations are being offered first to sponsors, then to community members. Contact the coordinators if you wish to be involved. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Demonstration_Theatre

==Live DVD==
A Live DVD, with windows installers will be handed out to all delegates, who will bring it to the installfest and it will be available for handing out at conferences and marketing events around the world. It is a huge marketing opportunity, but is critically under-resourced, and there is a good chance we will have to resort back to the 2008 Live DVD. If you are a good community organisor, or a wiz technical geek, please help out with this activity. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Live_DVD

==Code Sprint==
Saturday after FOSS4G: Passionate programmers + pizza + caffeine + whiteboards + wireless = great software advancements. Add a project you wish to work on, a coordinator, and goals for your code sprint. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Code_Sprint

==Volunteers==
Want to help out with all the extra little jobs, or need volunteers for specific activities? http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Volunteers

+A Linux based Live DVD, with windows installers, will be provided to all delegates.  This disk will further be available for use  at conferences and marketing events around the world long after FOSS4G. This is a huge marketing opportunity, but is currently under-resourced; there is a chance we will be left using the same DVD produced for the 2008 conference.
