Hi there, it looks like our talks for Wikimania 2009 have been scheduled:
http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule#Day_2
I won't be around for much of August so I'm trying to do all the work of working on software / my talk now before the end of July.
So before that time I'd like to coordinate with you two (and other people?) how we're going to:
* Do this pre-conference OSM workshop that we've signed up for * Split up our talks so that we make sure we don't have overlapping subjects and don't miss anything important.
Basically what I'm interested in presenting for the latter is what I blathered about at the Wikimania hacking days:
* A technical overview of how this OSM on Wikimedia thing works, i.e. Planet.osm -> Database -> Rendering -> Embedding in MediaWiki * Demos on using the extension for things I'm working on that'll (hopefully!) be finished at that time, e.g.: * Static map generation: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19654 * Multilingular map generation: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19668 (I'm going to do this by e.g. showing the West Bank in both Hebrew & Arabic) * Whatever else fits into that general criteria that I'm forgetting when writing this hurried e-mail
For the latter it would be nice to:
* Get in contact with that local Argentinian OpenStreetMapper/Wikipedian that someone mentioned and get him in on this * Find out what our audience will be, what are they likely to want? * Schedule some sort of outline for what we want to do .*I* can blather about GPS collecting -> editing -> map generation or whatever and answer questions, but it would be nice if we had something more focused than that :)
