Hi everyone, I am planning on attending the FOSS4G conference this
year and would like to give a couple presentations on GeoTools (my
understanding is presentations are around 30 min long with questions).
GeoTools a Practitioner's Approach
-------------------------------------
This presentation will run through the GeoTools library, covering
what this powerful GIS toolkit
can offer your next Geospatial project. An overview of the library
will be provided, with a discussion
of the available services. We will also cover the supported plug-ins,
and extensions
that make GeoTools useful in day to day operation.
GeoTools Next
----------------
The GeoTools community is active and is chasing down many of the
problems that trouble today's
Geospatial application developers. Topics covered will range from
documentation and QA,
to the recent work on coverages and revised feature model. The
approach used for handling of rich
content such as metadata and GML3 will also be discussed. This talk
will address several weakness
in the GeoTools library and what is being done to address them.
And depending on interest....
uDig as a GIS Platform
------------------------
The User-friendly desktop Internet GIS application is a wonderful way
to start exploring both
your own data and the use of open standards in your organization. Did
you know it also serves
as a powerful platform for the generation of new applications? This
talk will provide an overview of
the uDig GIS Platform, and conclude with a series of case studies
from around the world.
Of course I am excited about all the fun stuff happening in GeoServer
as well ... but we will
see what Justin comes up with.
