Workshop Sessions (Tuesday am/pm + Wednesday pm)
Rooms
| UNIL : Placename | Number of Pcs |
| Amphipôle (Pol 204.2) | 20+1 |
| Amphipôle (Pol 342 / géolab) | 24+1 (enough space for 48) |
| Amphipôle (Pol 189) | 13+1 (enough space for 28) |
| Biophore (Bio 1928) | 20+1 |
| Amphipôle (Pol 189.1) | 36+1 laptops (enough space for 48) |
| __ | __ |
| EPFL: Placename | Number of Pcs |
| (GR B0 01) | 38+1 |
| (GR B0 02) | 21+1 |
| (LaSIG) | 11+(1)(enough space for 18) |
Each room will have a "local admin" to help workshop givers to prepare.
Preparation will be done the day before (Monday for Tuesday and Tuesday for Wednesday).
Technical considerations
PCs
Workshop distribution in rooms depends on the success of each workshop. Laptops can be used to adjust each room capacity. Moreover we will ask Dell if they could give us some PCs (they did it for LinuxDays.ch)
OS
PCs are all using WinXP ! Few have a Suse/WinXP dual boot. No worry, we are quiet free to do what we want with all these PCs. Each PC will be cleaned before starting each workshop (ghost image), so it's ready for an install course for example. We can install an Ubuntu or what we want...
Network
Conference area is largely covered with wireless, and easily accessible. And to avoid access point overload, it's planned to add some more.
For workshops, some rooms have Wireless, but not all. LAN or Wireless will be installed were it needs to be. It's planned to make available a network drive (to store and share data for example).
Use of LiveCD
Recent Foss4g2006 mailing
Use of LiveCd during workshops.
Some workshop givers have planned to work with their own LiveCD. No problem. So people coming with their laptop can use it.
FOSS4G2006 LiveCD.
Local committee is motivated to build our own FOSS4G2006 LiveCD (based on Knoppix). It could be used during workshops if needed. Probably can we merge our effort with workshop givers who planned the use of a LiveCD ?
Some links.
- LiveCD GIS oriented : List
- List of GIS LiveCDs
- Mandriva based : FOSS4G Toolkit CD --> Hum, it's not a LiveCD !!
- Knoppix based : GIS Knoppix
- LiveCD for GRASS Workshops
Conference Sessions (Wednesday/Thursday/Friday)

Conference capacity
Given :
- Between 4 to 8 sessions in //
- Durations :
- conference presentation : 30 min (including questions and room changing)
- technical session : 30 or 60 [even 90?] possible durations (track managers ask authors)
Capacity depends on duration choices made by technical session authors. But global capacity is wide enough to honour all conferences.
Conference papers and reviewing process
Please see : list of papers and to understand the Tracks column, please read list of tracks
Urgent :
- build a reviewing committee and dispatch tracks to members (InDiCo term is -track manager-)
- define a protocol of reviewing (what are the criterias)
- when will the reviewing committee give answer to authors ?
BOFs
What is a BOF ?
- A meeting in which a topic of specific interest is discussed.
When are BOFs scheduled ?
- eh oui quand ça ? just after conferences ?
How to set up a BOF ?
- ask directly conference@foss4g2006.org (no more submission through InDiCo)
- what duration do you plan ?
- who are the chairs ?
- how many participants do you expect ?
Some BOFs :
Submitted through InDiCo :
1. Binary Distribution Builders Mr. WARMERDAM, Frank
2. Towards a Web Map Tiling Standard Mr. ERLE, Schuyler
3. Public Geodata: State Collected Geographic Information is Public Property Ms. WALSH, Jo
OSGeo_at_FOSS4G2006 wiki :
4. GeoTools is 10 years old, Birthday BOF (Jody Garnett)
By mail :
5. ka-map/openLayers merging discussions (Lorenzo Becchi) -> same as 2 ?
What is a demo ?
- Large space available with table and seets to show a demo on your PC (wifi connexion available)
When ?
- Demo fest is scheduled on Wednesday afternoon in parallel of workshops.
- Nonetheless, space will be available during the whole conference for on-the-fly demos.
Some demos : Submitted through InDiCo :
- space for a couple GeoServer/GeoTools projects (cholmes@openplans.org)
