Revision as of 00:32, 24 August 2006

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

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

Duration and scheduling

Most probably 1:30 + 0:30 break + 1:30

  • 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).
  • Beamer and desktop PC for one presenter
  • Network available : LAN or WLAN
  • 1 printer (Amphipôle)
  • 1 file server (Linux/Samba)

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

Desktop PCs 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 (need to be checked for all rooms)
  • We will schedule two time slots on Monday and Tuesday to access the rooms and check that all is ok.

Software requirements

Thanks to previous emails concerning software requirements, we compiled a document about installations the committee will have to lead : https://conference.osgeo.org/files/documents/42/267/wksSoftRequirements.zip

A package of softwares/data to pre-install/copy on each PC desktop.
