-- Title --
Pleiades: Building a RESTful, Open Source GIS for the Humanities
You may know me as a gadfly in the blogosphere, but I have a history of delivering serious, sober, nuts-and-bolts presentations and workshops at the predecessors to FOSS4G 2007 -- all the way back to the first in 2003. Should the powers that be accept submission 007, attendees will learn about data modeling (with open source software), development infrastructure (with open source software), and RESTful Web GIS development (with open source software). I'll explain why you should have URLs for everything, how to leverage HTTP caching, and demonstrate Pleiades's open source tools for working with GeoRSS, GML, and KML. And all without whining or rolling my eyes about W*S or OSGeo.
The full abstract is in the Pleiades wiki, here.

Gadfly, Horsefly, same difference ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse-fly (apparently an important pollinator) I'll be coming to your session if I can. I think that REST is an incredibly important concept, and hope that that starts to trickle down. You sure you want your email posted in cleartext?Re: My FOSS4G 2007 Abstract is in the Intertubes

I'm not sure I could possibly get more spam at that address, but better to be prudent. Thanks for the catch! Is it possible you can score me a slot opposite GeoDRM?Re: My FOSS4G 2007 Abstract is in the Intertubes

Not to worry, every second presentation will be about GeoDRM, so your chances are high. The other slots will be filled with proprietary software presentations. I'm surprised though. I would have thought that you'd prefer to be available to attend the GeoDRM session...Re: My FOSS4G 2007 Abstract is in the Intertubes

Uh. Rereading that comment... maybe it sounded nasty. I meant it to sound teasing.Re: My FOSS4G 2007 Abstract is in the Intertubes
