+Sydney, Australia. 30 March 2009.
-Sydney, Australia. 9 March 2009.
+It is my pleasure to end the speculation on tutorials and workshops for FOSS4G in October.  While the full descriptions won't be published until closer to the opening of registration, here is the final list:
-FOSS4G delegates will start registering online from mid April. If you intend to maximise your marketing, then now is the time to purchase one of the sponsorship packages and get your logo onto the FOSS4G website. Small companies will be happy to hear about a new Bronze sponsorship level, for only $AU1,000.
+==Tutorials==
-The international conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) is being held in Sydney, Australia, October 20-23. Presentations cover business drivers for Geospatial Open Standards and Open Source, as well as workshops and discussions about the latest technologies. FOSS4G attracts both SDI policy makers, management and decision makers, largely from the government sector, as well as the best technical implementers from around the world.
+A Friendly Hands-on Survey of Popular Geospaital Services
-== Sponsorship at a glance ==
+Delivering data using published application schemas
-Cost AU$ (incl GST)
+* Rob Atkinson, Ben Caradoc-Davies
-<table>
+Getting Started with MapWindow: An easy-to-install, easy-to-use free GIS for Windows
-<tr><td>Premier (Name badges)</td><td>$AU50,000</td></tr>
+* Dan Ames and Ted Dunsford
-The full FOSS4G sponsorship prospectus including purchasing details can be downloaded from: http://2009.foss4g.org/downloads/FOSS4G_Sponsorship_Exhibition_Document.pdf
+How to Cope with GeoSpatial - Intro to GeoTools for the Java Developer
-==FOSS4G 2009 Highlights==
+Introduction to deegree iGeoDesktop
-'''The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)''': FOSS4G will launch the OGC's Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome
+* Hanko Rubach
-Presenters are encouraged (but not mandated) to make use of scenarios and on-site data from the Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP).  This is especially important as demand for access to data over the internet is expected to be high, and Australia has notoriously slow connections to the outside world.
+Leveraging OGC Services with GeoExt
-'''FOSS4G Live DVD''': LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the software without installing or effecting the existing system.  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
+Making Maps Fast - Performance tuning and Tile Caching
-'''Installfest''': The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EE PC or any other system they care to bring in.  Community members will be around to assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the software.  The install fest will take place after workshops on the first day.
+Making Maps Pretty with Style Layer Descriptor
-'''Workshops and Tutorials''': Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment.  Half-day workshops (3 hours) will be held in computer rooms on the first day.  Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations during the third and fourth days.
+Protecting OGC Web Services with the 52°North Security System
-'''Presentations''': The meat of the conference are it's presentations.  Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics in the industry today.
+Sensor Web Enablement - Bringing Sensors into SDIs
-'''Demo Theatre''': During lunch and coffee breaks the demonstration theatre will be showcasing live software. These short demonstrations from sponsors, open source projects and the user community show what is possible with open source today.
+Using ILWIS with its PostGIS plug-in for raster-vector applications
-'''Birds of a Feather''': Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised meetings between like minded groups. Some prominant community initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.
+Working with GRASS-GIS Vectors and Databases
-'''Code Sprint''': The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image by describing it any differently.)
