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

Tiling
- Proposed Topics
  - standardised sqlite schema for tile caches
  - TMS/WMTS evolutions:
    - Tile merging (i.e. equivalent of WMS LAYERS=baselayer,overlaylayer)
    - TMS multiple grids per tileset
    - WMTS multiple url endpoints (eg tile1.domain.tld, tile2.domain.tld...): is this still needed now that browsers allow many more connections per server?
