Workshop and Code Sprint Community Communications Hangouts
Posted by Mark Iliffe on February 11, 2013
On behalf of the workshops and code sprint subcommittee we've decided to evangelise and seek feedback from the OSGEO community on what the potential attendees would like to see at FOSS4G. We've put together and agreed the following copy (after the line). Can we all ensure that it is diseminated to as many OSGEO and non-OSGEO mailing lists as possible to raise awareness and place/tweet it as a main blog item.
Thanks - Mark.

Workshops and code sprints are an integral part of the FOSS4G conference. It’s an opportunity for those with awesome projects from a community, technological or novelty perspective to showcase exemplar projects and demonstrate the cutting edge of geo.
Our theme is “Geo For All”. Accordingly there are many opportunities and ways to develop the workshops and code sprints. March 4th is the deadline for workshops submission. Over the next month we will be holding Google Hangouts, not just in GMT but for those in other timezones, from the west and east of the Americas to the Far East and Africa. We are actively seeking participation from all members of the OSGeo community; old hands as well as new ones. This is an opportunity to contribute and shape the type of workshops and code sprints that, you, the OSGeo community would like to see at this year’s FOSS4G in Nottingham.
We’d also like to hold a hackathon, building along the lines previous hackathons like RHoK, Sanitation Hackathon and Angel Hack, to support truly open source geospatial projects.
What we’ll need;
Europe and Africa: To Be Confirmed W/C 18th of February GMT | EAT |
Asia: WIB: Thursday 14th of February: WIB: 1300 | CST: 1400 | JST: 1500 with Mark Iliffe and Kate Chapman - https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/comid41v638djr2l02qqq5aa6ek
The Americas: Wednesday 20th February GMT: 20:00 | EST: 15:00 | PST: 12:00 with Matt Walker and Jo Cook - https://plus.google.com/events/cv67spbcpsnteir0e1tgtt7iiug
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Thanks - Mark.

up to 600px at the moment. I've also outlined the procedure for creating new PNGs from the SVG source via inkscape.
If you can't do that at the moment, just tell me the exact size and form you need (background colour, transparency etc) and I'll generate it when I get a chance. If you can use one of the preset sizes than that would be preferable...

1000px wide at least, I think 400px tall. Unsure, however. Background doesn't matter. Cheers.
Sent from my mobile device, please excuse my brevity and potential errors.

I've not used hangouts before, would it be easier to give me perms on it to tweak the graphics?
