[GeoNetwork-devel] Invitation to the 2015 Geonetwork Community Workshop

Hi,

On behalf of Swisstopo and Camptocamp I am posting an invitation to the 2015 Geonetwork Community Workshop.

If you are interested in coming please register for the event by sending an email to geocat@anonymised.com.

The invitation is a PDF but sometimes company firewalls or email programs will reject PDFs so I am putting a link to the original PDF and posting the text from the PDF in this email.

Invitation to GeoNetwork 3.0 meeting 18-20th March, 2015

To whom it may concern

In November 2013, a “GeoNetwork and INSPIRE” meeting was organized with participation from developers and users. All participants declared that it was good to have participated.

Now that GeoNetwork 3.0 has already been finished, we propose to organize a new meeting.

The event will be held on 18-19-20 March 2015 and will be hosted at the Swiss Office of Topography.

Our goals of the meeting are:

  • presentations of applications using GeoNetwork 3.0

  • to update each other on recent and upcoming developments in GeoNetwork

  • to discuss requirements and ideas participants have for the software

  • to improve contact between GeoNetwork developers

  • to enhance collaboration between users of the software and to share resources to help implement new requirements

Here is a first proposition for the workshop program

  • Day 1 (18 March):

  • Presentation of current implementation based on GeoNetwork 3 (eventually open to public?)

  • Presentation of future developments on GeoNetwork 3 (eventually open to public ?)

  • Presentation of future needs from the point of view of the users

  • Presentation of future needs from the point of view of the developers

  • Prioritisation of the different points and define which actor is interested in this realization- Day 2 (19 March)

  • Group discussion to concretize the priority points

  • Presentation of the group discussions

  • Actualization of priorisation and planning of the realization- ? eventually day 3 (20 March, morning)

  • go further on some open points

  • Detailed specification of some points to realize.

  • Developer discussions to find solutions to problems.

We invite you to send us (ideas for) requirements you have and make suggestions on what should be discussed at this meeting.

You can register for the event by sending an email to geocat@anonymised.com. The registration for the event is free, however accommodation, local expenses and travel costs are at your own expense. We will send you some accommodation information later.

We hope to see you in Bern in March.

Kind regards,
