Papers and Presentations
Submissions to present at FOSS4G-NA are now being accepted. Get them in quickly, the call for presentations closes on 3/01/2012! The program is being organized around three tracks:
- Technology & Tips: Learn about the latest open source software from the developers and power users themselves. What are the new features? How do you get the best performance? How do you configure for the best results? For power users, deployers, system integrators and developers!
- Deployment & Decisions: Learn who is using open source geospatial software, and what their experiences have been. What kinds of organizations are deploying? What scale are their systems? What were the business drivers behind their plans? For managers, project leads, consultants, and other decision makers!
- Ideas & Trends: Where the latest tastes meet and mingle! Open data and crowd-sourcing, balloon photography, personal sensor packages and hardware hacking. For everyone with an itch to scratch!
Users and developers are encouraged to submit abstracts for review. For full length presentations each presenter will be allotted 30 minutes; 20 minutes to present and 10 minutes for Q&A. For those interested in presenting in an exciting, fast paced style the Ignite sessions are for you. Each speaker will have five minutes and 20 slides to present on their topic. IgniteSpatial takes the Ignite style and adds a geospatial bent.
Accepted presenters will be notified by 3/15/2012.
