back to FOSS4G 2010

Introduction

During the FOSS4G2010 conference in Barcelona, Spain, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Breakout Sessions sessions will be held on Wednesday 8th September (and possibly at other times as well - depending on interest). A number of rooms will be available. Most popular sessions will get bigger rooms.

Room allocation to be determined

Organising Contact

Timeslots Available

At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 18:00 to 19:00.

We will need to share the biggest rooms because we have more sessions than rooms.

Add your name to the "Moderator" column if you feel as a session's leader.

Please, contact us to ask for changes.

The first half of this session will be focused on OpenLayers, and the second half will focus on GeoExt. We can decide on topics at the start of each session, but we'll likely cover ideas for OpenLayers 3.0/GeoExt 1.0, getting more developers involved, and just some general Q/A time.

Biodiversity/conservation projects and FOSS4G tools

More and more Open Source is catching on Biodiversity and conservation projects. Most of them are publicly funded so most of the time all the source they develop is Open Source. Aditionally Biodiversity and conservation heavily rely on GIS and they have specific needs. From geospatial niche modeling to species distributions, occurrence catalog, etc, there is a lot to talk about!

If you are interested please add your names below...

Coming:

Spatial Data Infrastructure

A birds of a feather session about using open source for spatial data infrastructure. Come discuss implementation strategies, best practices, INSPIRE.

Virtualization and Cloud Computing BoF

Virtualization and Cloud Computing is growing fast on the GIS world, let's get together and talk about the use cases and share opinions and suggestions about how can we take the most out of this new technology!

If you are interested please add your name below...

Coming:

Spatial OLAP

Spatial OLAP can be defined as a visual platform built especially to support rapid and easy spatiotemporal analysis and exploration of data following a multidimensional approach comprised of aggregation levels available in cartographic displays as well as in tabular and diagram displays. Let's talk about new improvements combining GIS and BI technologies.
