[Talk-GB] dev8d Open Mapping workshop?

[Jo Walsh]

dear all,

I'm wondering if there would be interest on this list in teaching at an 
Open Mapping workshop (OSM + OpenLayers + PostGIS) during the dev8d 
conference, which is at ULU in London February 14th - 16th.
Thw workshop would be a couple of hours long in total with two or three 
people presenting, and plenty of hands on time for the attendees.
There'd be the option of a "surgery" or space in a projects area, later 
in the day. I think it's still quite open as to *when*, over three days.

I work with a PostGIS expert who I'm hoping to tempt down from 
Edinburgh, she ran part of a similar workshop attached to State of the 
Map Scotland in Glasgow, we'd need others at dev8d to cover editing and 
re-using OSM would be great. There'd be a background "getting off Google 
Maps" theme, which is more topical now than ever!

The event is aimed at developers working in higher education, with 
project and network activity accordingly, but all are welcome, I was 
surprised to see a few old friends there last year, maybe more this year?

Please get back to me off-list if you're interested in taking part in a 
workshop,


jo
