| First SVG conference announced
The SVG Open / Carto.net
developers' conference will be held in Zurich, Switzerland, in
July 2002.
According to the organisers, the aim of the conference is to
be:
... a platform for SVG developers to share ideas,
examples and implementations. The SVG community has
well-established user groups with active online discussion-forums.
Articles and tutorial-sites are evolving quickly. The conference
should give the possibility to meet personally "in real world",
thus opening other communication-channels and contacts, beside
electronic-media.
The call
for papers requests extended abstracts by January 15, 2002.
Suitable topics include:
-
Design for the user: filters, animation, accessibility, SVG and
art, GUIs, webmapping/GIS, ergonomic map interfaces, location-based
services
-
Data-driven delivery: SVG-aware and spatial databases,
server-side generation, dealing with large data sets.
-
Data maintenance: using XML/XSLT for SVG, workflow, optimizing
SVG for filesize and render-time, metadata and extensibility, GML
& SVG.
-
SVG players and authoring tools: promoting SVG to web
developers, SVG and open source, commercial projects, DTP vs
animation oriented environments, SVG and Flash.
