Revision as of 23:00, 28 November 2012

Overview

OSGEO Philippines (OSGeo-PH), the University of Philippines Department of Geodetic Engineering (UPD-GE), OpenStreetMap Philippines (OSM-PH) and the Environmental Science for Social Change (ESSC) organized a series of pre-symposium workshops showcasing free and open source technologies at the PhilGEOS 2012 last November 23-24, 2012 at Melchor Hall University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City (map).

This is our first FOSS4G event in the Philippines. Over 60 participants joined 8 workshops and 3 lightning talks. The OSGeo Live project was also presented in one of the parallel technical sessions in the main conference. Likewise, an exhibit booth was installed during the PhilGEOS conference for OSGeo and OpenStreetMap. Over ~50 OSGeo Live DVDs were handed out to conference participants.

Registration
8:30 - 8:45	Ariel Blanco - PhilGEOS 2012 Conference Chair	Opening Remarks
8:45 - 9:00	Maning Sambale - OSGeo-PH	Workshop schedules and room assignments
Track 1: GE Lab
9:00 - 10:30	Wayne Manuel	Google Maps API	Google Maps (https://developers.google.com/maps/) has a wide array of APIs that let you embed the robust functionality and everyday usefulness of Google Maps into your own website and applications, and overlay your own data on top of them.	Google Maps JavaScript API v3
10:30 - 12:00	Eugene Alvin Villar	Using Leaflet	Leaflet (http://leaflet.cloudmade.com/) is a modern open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. t is built from the ground up to work efficiently on both desktop and mobile platforms like iOS and Android, taking advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 on modern browsers.	Workshop reference
Track 2: GE Theater
9:00 - 10:30	Marx Tupas	GeoNode	Geonode (http://geonode.org) is an integrated platform for the management and publication of geospatial data. Its data management tools allow for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the GeoNode instance contains.
10:30 - 12:00	Jules Bañgate	GRASS GIS	GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) is a software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.
Lunch
Track 1: GE Lab
1:00 - 2:30	Editing OpenStreetMap Data	Rally de Leon	OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) is a project that creates and provides free geographic data and mapping to anyone who wants it. We started it because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways. This session will introduce how to to edit data in OpenStreetMap.
2:30 - 4:00	Maning Sambale	Advance Cartography with Quantum GIS	Quantum GIS (http://www.qgis.org) is a user friendly GIS that runs on several operating systems (Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android). QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU Public License. This workshop is a technical demonstration and hands-on tutorial in the use of QGIS using the advance cartographic styling features of the application.	Workshop materials
Track 2: GE Theater
1:00 - 2:30	RK Aranas	Remote Sensing with Opticks	Opticks (http://opticks.org) is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform that is free and open source.
2:30 - 4:00	Ranel Padon	Mapping with Drupal CMS		Slides
Lightning Talks
	Mario Basa	GeoFuse		Demo site, GitHub source repo
	Wilfredo Rada	Geoprocessing with Python		Slides
