Coordination of activities of OSGeo projects at INSPIRE Conference
Links
Deadlines
- March 15, 2013 Deadline for submitting paper and workshops proposals (extension given from March 1)
- March 29 2013 Deadline for submitting poster proposals
Workshop proposal
It wouldn't be a classic workshop format but rather a barcamp inside the conference. The aim is to put around a table people from OSGeo and people from INSPIRE, in order to understand each other's world. From the conference website:
"Pre-conference workshops will take place on the 23/24 June. Each workshop or tutorial may be proposed for a single 90-minute session. A typical conference participant may register for up to four 90-minute workshops or tutorials during the workshop day. All workshops and tutorials will be open to all conference participants at no additional cost, however a daily fee will be charged for those attending workshops only. If you are interested in submitting a workshop proposal, please provide the following information:"
Proposed Workshop Title
Tennis table match: OSGeo vs INSPIRE
Organizer/Contact Person
(name, title, address, country, phone, fax, e-mail):
OSGeo, see names below
Workshop Description and Goals
(250 words or less suitable for posting on the web. Please include in the description if the session will involve lecture, hands-on exercises, group exercises, etc., whether any take-home materials will be supplied and indicate whether participants should bring a laptop computer or anything else to the workshop.)
- Duration 90 minutes
- Round table (to the aim of smoothing the edges of INSPIRE)
- Lead developers on one side (various technologies) and members of the INSPIRE Technical Committee on the other
- 15-20 expected participants
- 60 minutes of quick presentations (3 minutes / 1 slide each)
- 30 minutes heated but constructive discussion on the issues raised
- Possible topics:
- complexity of INSPIRE technical guidance and OGC standards
- potential mismatch between INSPIRE specs and national standards
- optimisation of communication channels on Inspire between OSGeo and INSPIRE
- setting up a tracking system for INSPIRE implementations
- setting up wiki pages (multilingual) to make INSPIRE documentation more readable
- how to test and validate INSPIRE compliancy
- how to change/simplify INSPIRE technical guidance in practice
- how to contribute to INSPIRE Maintenance [1]
Intended Audience and any Required Skills or Interests
(technicians, managers, policymakers, etc., whether introductory or advanced, what skills if any participants should possess)
- possibly, free of charge for speakers (to be checked if feasible)
- for OSGEO projects that cannot attend we should gather a couple of slides from each positioning itself "against" INSPIRE
- main audience: GFOSS developers and users + INSPIRE people: implicit support for INSPIRE in any kind of software will give a big boost to the adoption of the directive; even outside EU
Exploratory meeting
G+ hang out on Thursday 14 March at 4 pm CET
Who is participating
- Margherita Di Leo
- Heikki Doeleman (not yet confirmed)
- Dimitris Kotzinos (interested in helping out with the workshop - cannot make the hangout)
