FOSS4G2008 PC Software

Back to FOSS4G2008...

Introduction

Workshop and Lab presenters were asked when they submitted their proposal to provide an indication of their software requirements for the PC's supplied at the venues. this list is a synthesis of the requirements and presnet the various options for working with non-Windows based presentations.

Presenters are asked to upload any VMWare images, other software and data to the ftp server [xyz] by the 15th September or preferably earlier. Login details will be communicated to you directly. Presentations can also be uploaded there.

The issue of doing printing of Workshop/Lab paper materials locally has been raised and will be addressed - arrangements to follow.

Discussion on this page should be done on the workshops list (conference-workshops@osgeo.org) at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference-workshops
