Back to FOSS4G 2010


Introduction

Workshops are 3-hour sessions in a PC classroom, and Tutorials are 90-minute sessions in a conference room. The FOSS4G 2010 Workshop Committee is responsible for the organization of both Workshops and Tutorials.


FOSS4G 2010 Workshop Commitee

We need people with experience organizing conference workshops at other GFOSS events. Local (Barcelona & Spain) members are welcome. If you are willing to help organizing FOSS4G Workshops and Tutorials, please add yourself to the members list below, and subscribe to the mail list.

Workshop and Tutorial Selection

FOSS4G 2010 Organization Committee will evaluate workshop and tutorial proposals attending to these criteria:

  1. Meets conference mandate:
    1. Matches with the themes of the conference
    2. Makes use of software that is both "free" and "open source"
  2. Submission's technical requirements can be met by the conference facilities
  3. Demonstrates practical applications
  4. Expected level of attendee interest in the workshop topic
  5. A plus for proposals addressing the special interest topics stated in the Call
  6. Likelyhood of a quality workshop:
    1. Expertise of the workshop presenters in the workshop subject matter
    2. Presenters personal experience presenting workshops at other conferences
    3. Successful workshop presented at prior FOSS4G/GFOSS conferences

Workshop Venue

Workshops will be hold in the Barcelona School of Computer Science (FIB), at Barcelona Campus Nord, buildings B5 and C6.

All classrooms have screen and projector for instructors.

Software installation is preferred on Windows XP native Operating System.

If linux is required, we have a vmware SUSE 11.1 image.
