There is interest from several projects:
- GeoNetwork opensource
- GeoServer

- please add more only if you can contribute
OSGeo can highlight the whole software stack and present how it interoperates plus explain FOSS advantages beyond the obvious.
Letter from the Organizers
Workshops this time will be offered under a slightly different arrangement that we hope will attract strong attendance. We are requesting workshop proposals by the end of this month so that people registering for the conference will be able to sign up for specific workshops in advance. In this manner instructors will know the number of people attending their workshops and have the contact information for their participants in advance.
We highly encourage you to submit a workshop proposal. For reference, the description of the workshop you presented in Santiago in 2006 may be found at http://www.gsdi.org/gsdiconf/gsdi9/english/09_Act_Work_Sched.htm. Submit your proposal on or before 1 June 2007 to onsrud@gsdi.org with a copy to astevens@gsdi.org. If you submit, you should have a decision by the evaluation committee in early June.
