The working site for the conference committee of FOSS4G 2013

Relevant discussions about FOSS4G on OSGeo Lists

Posted by Ian Edwards on January 15, 2013

This conversation has just started on OSGeo-Benchmarking... (It may be interesting to keep an eye on other suggestions and expectations for the conference).

Hi,

The deegree initiative is considering taking part in the OSGeo WMS
shootout. First question is: Will there be a new WMS shootout? When, at
the FOSS4G conference in Nottingham? If yes, will the shootout only
consider performance of WMS solutions? We, deegree PSC members, think
that the comparison of WMS solutions should not only take performance
into account but also compare features such as the support of optional
items in the WMS standard. What is the opinion of the OSGeo organizers
of the WMS shootout about this? The deegree people are willing to help
with making a setup for a broader comparison of WMS solutions.

Could Herman be invited to coordinate this as a workshop?

I'll comment on the benchmarking mailing list and find out who organised the previous shootouts.
