Introduction

During the FOSS4G2011 conference in Denver, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organize themselves to discuss topics of interest.

Room allocation to be determined

Wednesday 5:30pm to 6:30pm and 7:00pm to 8:00pm

    - Tile merging (i.e. equivalent of WMS LAYERS=baselayer,overlaylayer)
