In addition to general submissions, we should solicit talks from people with topics that have high levels of interest and current relevance.  We should try to get off the beaten track of tools and projects (GRASS, PostGIS, Mapserver, Web Maps, standard GIS analysis with nonstandard toosl) we have heard at FOSS4G before into new areas.  Some particular topics of interest might be:
+
* 12:00-13:00 Lunch Provided, and Poster Session

* Open Street Map and other distributed data creation schemes

We have a limited number of laptops and a large demand for workshops. There are a few solutions:
+
== Reception ==
 +
* 18:00-20:00 Reception @ Royal BC Museum
  
−
* Rent yet more laptops.  Another $10K in the budget could net us another 40 or so laptops and probably drop our unit costs through volume.
 
−
* String the workshops out over the conference.  The rental is for a week, so only using the things for a day is pretty wasteful.
 
−
* Go for UVIC labs.  Hard to organize, requires transportation logistics, but could be doable.
 
−
* What about "bring your own labtop" workshops? Attendees could be provided with bootable CD's ahead of time (download an image via web?). Requires presenters to get their act together sooner rather than later which isn't a bad thing.

This conference will have the advantage of a tight layout in a conference center and dedicated show floor.  As a result, we have the option of running a full-time demo studio on the show floor, with a big screen, sound and seating.  There should be enough vendors with products to show and projects willing to take a 15 minute slot that we can keep it active through-out the exhibition.
