Revision as of 10:17, 24 August 2006

Thanks to a great program, workshops session will be an important part of FOSS4G2006. Up to 350 participants are already registered and will attend to at least two workshops.

In order to well organize the session, the committee has created a wiki for presenters. The main purpose is to synchronize with presenters to reduce last minute problems.

Duration and scheduling

Most probably 1.5 hrs + 30min break + 1.5 hrs

  • Tuesday morning - 9:00 to 12:30
  • Tuesday afternoon - 14:00 to 17:30
  • Wednesday afternoon - 13:30 to 17:00

Rooms equipment

  • There are 8 desktop PC rooms. So there is one computer available for one/two participant(s).
  • Projector and desktop PC for one presenter
  • Network available : LAN or WLAN

See also the below pdf document (PC specs, number of computers...)

Desktop PCs pre-installation

  • Committee will provide a basic installation of each PC with WinXP SP2 + Text Editor (probably Crimson Editor)
  • Committee will also assume for each room to be ready for workshops to run immediatly. Therefore we need to know exactly what must be installed.
  • If learning how to make an installation is part of your workshop, ask committee to not pre-install the software.
  • You're free to proceed to more installs during your workshop
  • We will schedule two time slots on Monday and Tuesday to access rooms and check that all is ok.
