[Geoserver-devel] FOSS4G2008 paper deadline... Monday!

Hem, people,
we need to get our acts togheter and prepare some papers
for FOSS4G 2008. Are we game?

Cheers
Andrea

I think it would be good if we continued the performance benchmarks from last year. We could bring in some more interesting scenarios like thematic styling, raster data access, etc...

Another thing that would be cool would be to bring tile
caching into the picture. What do people think?

Hum. GeoServer + GeoWebCache vs MapServer + TileCache vs MapGuide?
Tilecached and not? Sounds good to me?

A "past present and future" presentation could be good too, thought
I have the impression this year we have a less compelling story,
no much new exciting things around, at least in the stable version.
We can put together a presentation with stuff like raster symbolizer,
mrSID support, new UI, improved security what else? I fear WFS + xlink and WCS 1.1 would be kinda boring...

Cheers
Andrea

At FOSS4G07, the past, present, and future talk was quite well attended,
probably by a lot of potential new users rather than those who are already
deeply familiar with the project. As such, I think a similar talk would be
in order for FOSS4G08, even though there may be less exciting development
updates in the last year to talk about.

If Justin or someone else was planning another 'GeoServer and the GeoWeb'
like presentation, I would be happy to work them on some GeoServer /
GoogleEarth integration examples (unfortunately I won't make it to Cape
Town). As I remember from the last FOSS4G, there was quite an impressive
crowd reaction when Justin was showing off time templates with GoogleEarth.
I think there is good potential to create some 'exciting' demonstrations,
along the lines of:

Yeah, especially if we added some extrusion control in the output,
3D always make for good shows.

I agree, the extrusions would take it up a notch. The Thematic Mapping blog
(http://thematicmapping.org/) has had some pretty interesting examples on
using extrusions and 3D Collada objects.

Hi Tyler,

There is definitely a plan to do another talk like this at foss this year. Any cool examples you could set it up would be much appreciated, and we would of course give credit where credit is due :).
