This year OSGeo will again be present at GWF with an Open Source track.
Planning Stage
GWF is organized in Rotterdam from 13 to 16 May The idea is to make this year a half day track, in a slightly larger room than last year. Geocat (Paul/Jeroen) 'll draw the preparations, they're open to all kinds of suggestions and offers to lend a hand :-). We did send out some invitations for slots to fill and based on the replies created a short list. At the end of the track we want to do a panel discussion. For now we didn't apply for a booth, since it's quite costly and the expo is not even opened on the 16th.
For the tentative program (deadline this week) I created this intro:
For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps.
Find the list of speakers (+bio/abstacts) at GWF2013_program.
On Friday January 18th we have a meeting at station Utrecht 9.30am with Megha Datta from GWF to discuss the programme (also she will hand out some preliminary leaflets for the conference). feel free to join
