Introduction

During the FOSS4G2007 conference in Victoria, BC, Canada, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.

Timetable

Below is a summary of the BOFs and when/where they will be run. Contact Tyler for any questions or changes. Times and rooms may change - changes will be posted on announcement boards during the event.

We can easily accomodate at least 3 more BOFs and, if needed, run some more on Wednesday. Wednesday slots are only 1 hour long and will be announced/allocated during the event. Closing times are firm and the conference centre will be closed at the end of the meetings.
