Overview

Workshops are the showcase of FOSS4G projects. During 3 hours experienced community members will guide participants through the features of the various software projects. Often both beginner and advanced workshops are held, to cover the majority of user needs.

Everything happens in a hands-on manner and everyone is invited to use own computer and bring back home all of achievements.

When submitting a workshop, please use the abstract to make the scope and contents clear. Inclusion of a list of topics you want to cover is very welcome. Ideally, you should also list the prerequisite skills e.g. basic skills in Python programming are required.

Guidelines for submitting a workshop

• If possible add a list of topics you will cover
• If applicable, link to datasets and documentation that will be used, it will allow attendees to familiarize with the topic
• Mention the level of the course and the required knowledge attendees should have

Selection Process

We will have a one-week open community vote on the submitted workshops. The result of the community vote will be taken as a recommendation, but the last decision lies with the Program Committee. The community vote is essential for us for assigning rooms and capacity planning for participants to get the best FOSS4G experience.
