FOSS4G Abstracts and presentations archiving
Posted by Suchith Anand on April 26, 2013
Could i remind that we inform the authors of accepted abstracts, workshop presenters etc info on the uploading thier abstracts and slides into ELOGeo.
There is a seperate section created for FOSS4G 2013 thanks to Amir's help (we will customise it with logo etc).
So when Claire sends the acceptance mail please add this following sentence and url
"We are also aiming to archive all presentations and workshop materails of FOSS4G 2013 for the benifit of the wider community. We request you to upload your presentation slides etc at ELOGeo (E-Learning for Open Geospatial Community) repository at http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/url/121
Many thanks"
Please add/modify the text as needed.

1. It make sure that we get the explicit permission from the authors
2. They can then modify/change or even remove their files as they wish later if needed.
This is also the reason that we want to get them do this before the conference as if we leave it after the conference (as most conferences have done), it will not happen as most authors will forget or might not get time after the event.

2. This isn't just a legacy thing, it impacts on the programme dev
3. It has an impact on workflow. Very soon the abstracts will be on the web in the provisional programme, and at another fixed time point the abstracts will need to go to the brochure designer and onto the web for the final programme. If people are changing them on ELOGeo, do we then treat those as the master copy up until those deadlines?
4. Almost separate from this, do we do any copy-editing, typo fixing etc on the submitted abstracts?
5. Do we worry about people making drastic changes in their abstracts?
6. Where's the programme team when you need them?
Addy Pope on April 26, 2013:
Think the ELOGeo thing should be legacy, but as such it only goes up AFTER the event. That keeps everything simple i think...... This means that on the run up to the event, the FOSS4G page is the definitive source of information. Dont really want things appearing elsewhere until after the event.
Suchith Anand on April 26, 2013:
For the Abstracts, the text already submitted and which will be put in the web at provisional program is the final version as far as we are concerned, so it will not affect the workflow in any way.
But i leave it upto all of you to decide.

In terms of what is the master version we should be absolutely clear that what they submitted to us prior to selection is the master version and we will not be accepting changes (except for the few that we asked to merge). Those versions will appear on the web site and in the programme. We will have full editorial rights to tweak abstracts for typos, grammar etc if needed and will not go through a suggestion, approval loop with the presenters.
Suchith Anand on April 26, 2013:
And as you rightly said, we have the facility, so why not use it.
Also we are giving an option (not mandatory) for people interested to submit for this.

getting the workshop tutorials into ELOGeo would be great and with 50 it is is somewhat more manageable ;)

I believe the workshop tutorials especially will directly be of benifit for our OSGeo Education efforts in the longterm.
