SUMMARY:Rapid Geographic Web Application Development with GeoDjango
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Justin Bronn (CartoAnalytics, LLC), Travis Pinn
 ey (GeoDjango), Jeremy Dunck (Pegasus News). Django is a high-level Pyth
 on web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic 
 design. GeoDjango is an official branch of Django that intends to be a w
 orld-class geographic web framework. Participants will explore the featu
 res of the framework by building a geographic web application from the g
 round up with the experienced web developers who created GeoDjango.

SUMMARY:Geo-ify Your Web Site
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Steve Coast (OpenStreetMap), Mikel Maron (Mapuf
 acture), Andrew Turner (Mapufacture Inc.). Learn to use Mapstraction—the
  abstraction API for mapping services—from the core developers. Worried 
 that Google might put adverts on their maps? Noticed that Microsoft Virt
 ual Earth has better aerial imagery? Don't get locked in! Use Mapstracti
 on to float above proprietary APIs and switch on the fly to nine differe
 nt providers including OpenStreetMap.

SUMMARY:Sharing Your Content on the Google Maps API (Sponsored Tutorial)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mickey Kataria (Google, Inc. ), Drew Patterson 
 (Kayak.com), Pamela Fox (Google, Inc. ). Everyone has content that can b
 e associated with a location. But how do you know if you have exceptiona
 l geocontent that will pique the interest of a global audience? And how 
 do you maximize the exposure to your creation?

SUMMARY:Advanced Rails GIS Hacks
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shoaib Burq (Nomad Labs Pty Ltd), Brian Hamlin 
 (Light42). GIS, that began life in the research labs of universities, mi
 litary and governments, has always had a strong focus on modelling and a
 nalysis of geographic information to aid decision making. As web standar
 ds and aggregation technologies for geographic information mature, deplo
 ying the power of GIS on the emerging GeoWeb is the next step. Using Rub
 y on Rails we will demonstrate how to achieve this.

SUMMARY:Beg, Borrow and Steal: Make a Simple GPS Game
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Patrick Goddi (Hewlett-Packard), Kurt MacDonald
  (HP), Ben Clayton (HP Labs Europe). Kids play and modify location-based
  games all the time: tag, hide & seek, king of the hill, etc. These phys
 ical games are simple, social, and integrated with the environment. This
  tutorial is a walkthrough of rapid game development in which a familiar
  game is adapted into a GPS game. With just a GPS-enabled mobile device 
 and a little creativity, everyone can build a quick, fun location-based 
 game.

SUMMARY:The Open Geo-Stack: OpenLayers, GeoServer, PostGIS
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tim Schaub (The Open Planning Project), Chris H
 olmes (The Open Planning Project), Justin Deoliveira (Justin Deoliveira 
 Consulting). An open geo-stack offers a flexible and feature-filled solu
 tion for your web mapping needs.  Store your data with PostGIS, set up G
 eoServer to publish it, and develop an OpenLayers-based client for the b
 rowser. This tutorial will focus on these three core components of an op
 en source geo-stack and will also cover architectures that cross the pro
 prietary/open source divide.

SUMMARY:From Data Chaos to Actionable Intelligence: How the Convergence 
 of the GeoWeb and Semantic Web is Revolutionizing the Way We Process Inf
 ormation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sean Gorman (FortiusOne). The U.S. Government h
 as always been an early adopter of geospatial technologies—from GPS to s
 atellite imagery. Even the first application of the GeoWeb, Keyhole/Goog
 le Earth, received the bulk of its early support from government investm
 ent and customers. New geospatial innovations continue to be driven by g
 overnment investment and will be a key resource driving the success of t
 he GeoWeb.

  and geodata is being spread across the web -- often at little cost to t
 he smaller sites, but at great cost to the providers. These mashups and 
 applications built around maps have proven enormously popular with devel

SUMMARY:Enabling the GeoWeb by Mass Market Geotagging
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Johan Peeters (Geotate). Geotagging is the labe
 lling of things with their location. It is a powerful and increasingly p
 opular means of looking at, sorting, finding, and sharing user-generated
  content. “Capture and Process” is a new Geotagging GPS technology that 
 can instantly capture locations because of its immediate response. This 
 new technology is low cost and ultra low power and can be integrated in 
 any CE device.

SUMMARY:Enemies Around Every Corner: Mapping in an Activist World
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Erik Hersman (Ushahidi). Inaccurate data on a c
 onsumer-focused mapping site is bad. Inaccurate data on an activist mapp
 ing site is fodder for your enemies, and potentially lethal for both you
 r cause and the issue you are working on. A talk about data, accuracy, a
 nd lessons learned from developing and managing Ushahidi—a web site used
  to track reports of violence in post-election Kenya this year.
