Getting Started with GeoServer
Jody Garnett

GeoServer is a much loved open-source project and one of the most popular web mapping services in the world. This workshop provides a gentle hands-on introduction in setting up and enjoying GeoServer.

This workshop covers the advantages of using GeoServer; looking at the abilities of this open-source technology.

  • We will start with a demonstration of geoserver installation and touch on system requirements and installation of extensions

  • Hands-on publication of spatial data (vector, raster and database).

  • GeoServer styling and web mapping use

  • Preflight check-lists making sure your datasets, and web services, are ready for use.

  • Demonstration of one-click-publishing from Desktop GIS using geocat-bridge tool.

  • For those migrating from ESRI software this workshop offers an opportunity to explore foss4g similarities and differences.

This session is a great way to get started, geared towards those with no prior open source experience. Familiarity with GIS concepts is recommended for attendees, and you are welcome to bring your own data.

This is a hands-on workshop: If you are comfortable installing software on your laptop you are encouraged to do so. If you can not install it is okay - GeoCat will provide a hosted GeoServer (so only a browser is required to attend).

Welcome to Geonetwork
Jody Garnett

Welcome to GeoNetwork and FOSS4G! GeoNetwork is a leading open-source web catalog for keeping track of the spatial information. For those transitioning to FOSS4G from an integrated environment we help explain how everything fits together.

This orientation session introduces GeoNetwork (as a software component), providing a high-level view to explain how foss4g software is intended to work together. If you are transitioning from an ESRI environment this critical talk to attend as open source technology is often presented in isolation.

This presentation covers:

  • We look at what GeoNetwork is for, the business challenge it is faced with, and the amazing technical approach taken by the technology.

  • We will show the the publishing workflow to see what is required, and look at how harvesting can jump start your catalog contents

  • We peek under the hood at how the editor works, and discover the central super-power of GeoNetwork

  • Look at examples of how GeoNetwork has been extended by organizations to see what is possible with this technology

GeoNetwork is an established technology - recognized as an OSGeo project and member of the foss4g community for over a decade. We would love to welcome you to the conference and share what this project has to offer.
