Breakout session ideas

  • Geospatial Metadata Syndication - see Simple Catalog Interface
  • Tiling WMS, some talk of GeoServer and uDig implementation of GetTile

People planning to attend

The OSGeo booth will be a place where most OSGeo folks will go to at one time or another. Ideally we have full coverage of every project by a representative of that project at all times at the booth. To get things organized just a bit we need to have some people at the booth at all times. Please add yourself to the list, even if it is for one morning or evening only so that we can get an overview where it might be critical. Most traffic will be during the breaks and there will be lots of time to chat with others also hangin out at the booth during all those boring sessions going on. So please feel free to drop by.

For questions, contact Arnulf Christl (mailto:arnulf@osgeo.org) or Tina Mena, tina.mena@autodesk.com.
