For more information, view the Call for Participation [1].

Booth

NACIS representatives invited us at AAG 2009 but apparently they don't actually have booths as a means of keeping the conference less commercial. They did offer space for a poster and possibly fliers at the registration desk. Also see the speaker section below.

Demo

It turns out they want hands on demos, so keep the slides to a minimum and drive the software. Here's the plan for our Demo which is on Wed Oct 7, 2009 as part of the pre-conference "Practical Cartography Day" Presentation will be 50 minutes.

Abstract

Community members will demonstrate the production of maps using free and open source software available from the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, including, but not limited to, desktop GIS, spatial databases, web service providers, and web programming interfaces for both print and digital static and interactive maps. This session will help show how anyone from the home user to the big GIS shop can use free, high quality GIS programs in entirety or mixed with commercial applications.
