Subject: [ica-opensource] FOSS4G 2010 Call for Abstract & Academic track
We are pleased to announce the Call for Abstract for the FOSS4G (Free
and Open Source Software for Geospatial) 2010 conference, being held
September 6-9, in beautiful Barcelona, Spain.
Held annually, FOSS4G is the premier conference for the open source
geospatial community, providing a full-immersion experience in
established and leading edge geospatial technologies for developers,
users, and people new to open source geospatial.
http://2010.foss4g.org
FOSS4G 2010 presentations are 25 minute talks, with 5 minute question
and answer sessions at the end. Presentations cover the use or
development of open source geospatial software. Anyone can can submit a
presentation proposal and take part in the conference as a presenter.
Some topics of interest for this year are:
* Case Studies: Relate the experiences of you and your organization
using open source geospatial. Where do things work well? Poorly?
What problems did you solve, and at what cost? What do you
recommend for others? Why?
* Benchmarks: Comparisons between pieces of geospatial software. How
do features compare? Speed? Ease of use? What do you recommend for
others?
* Visualization: Tell about your tips and tricks for effective
visualization. How do you present information in a compelling way?
3D? Cartographic tricks? Labelling and naming ideas? Graphs and
hybrid map/data combinations?
* Development: What are the new developments in your open source
geospatial software product? How does it work, how do people use
it, what are the technical issues you are running into?
* Hacks and Mashing: Have you put together something novel or cool
this year? What did you stick together, how did it work, show us
your gizmo!
* Collaboration: What techniques are you using to improve
collaboration between organizations and between individuals.
Public geodata, collaborative data collection, data sharing, open
standards, de facto standards, and more!
If you have an open source geospatial story to tell, we want to hear it!
For more information, see the FOSS4G site:
http://2010.foss4g.org/presentations.php
The deadline for abstract submissions is April 1, 2010. Submit early,
submit often!
Academic Track
The FOSS4G 2010 academic track aims to bringing together researchers,
developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and
development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and
willing to share original and recent research developments and experiences.
The academic track will act as an inventory of current research topics,
but the major goal is to promote cooperative research between OSGeo
developers and the academia. The academic track is the right forum to
highlight the most important research challenges and trends in the
domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo research
agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of
the geospatial and free and open source domains. It will be organized in
a way to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and
favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to
exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration.
Submission guidelines
All submissions to the academic track must be original unpublished work
written in English. Papers should not exceed the 6000 words limit.
Formatting guidelines will be available soon. Submitted papers will be
thoroughly reviewed by three members of the international scientific
committee and refereed for their quality, originality and relevance.
Submission deadline (full paper for the academic track) - May,
31th, 2010
