AT inputs needed

Posted by Suchith Anand on August 22, 2012

Hi AT LOC Team (Barry, Addy, Jeremy, Mark, Jeremy),

Could i request all of you to provide inputs on the following, so we can add to the AT presentation for the whole LOC on 6th Sep

*   High level themes for the track

Please feel free to suggest any ideas you have. We can add/modify this later after getting everyones inputs to fit with the overall conference theme.


 *   Any cost implications of the AT (both financial and human resource)

The costs of having and maintaining an  online paper submission system need to be considered . Please inform your suggestions on various open and free systems we can use. Also please think of ways how flexible this system will be so that future FOSS4G Academic Tracks can reuse the system. The main aim is that we build a framework that future FOSS4Gs can also use. That way, we will make a long lasting contribution for the FOSS4G AT efforts.  This is one of the action item for the ICA-OSGeo MOU  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA

The efforts of AT chairs, reviewers, LOC AT members are all voluntary , so no costs involved.

Is there anything else we need to be aware of? If so, please inform


*   A draft timeline for the CfP, review etc

Your suggestions on the timeline for various actions. This again will be modified after getting everyones inputs to fit with the overall conference timelines

 
 *   Details of academic attendance at previous FOSS4G's

Could i request someone to volunteer thier time to contact previous FOSS4G chairs individually for this. Mark, Addy, could you please help with this. It will be really useful information, even if we get at least info on the last 3 years. We just need approximate numbers to get an idea.


It will be good if you can send your contributions by 30 August. Thanks.


Suchith
