Catching up on Web Processing Service

Make no mistake web processing service is once again a hot topic at this years foss4g with 8 different workshops/presentations/tutorials for you to catch up on the current state of the art.

One thing that makes this so exciting is that their are many different project teams; and they are are playing very hard right now. The projects are rapidly improving and which one is the best fit for your organisation is a real matter for consideration.

With that in mind I would like to offer a small supplement to the program:

• Thursday 4:00 WPS-Shootout has the following listing: Presenters: Jody Garnett, OSGeo; Gérald Fenoy, GeoLabs SARL

While Gérald and myself have helped set things up the truth is much more exciting than just listening to the two of us speak. We actually have rounded up everyone!

• 52N - Bastian Schäffer
• deegree (not represented ... but I will try and have some details from email)
• GeoServer - Simone Giannecchini
• PyWPS - Jachym Cepicky
• ZOO-project - Gérald Fenoy
• Constellation - Vincent Heurteaux

The format is a panel discussion with time devoted to Q&A (so you can start thinking of a nice awkward question to ask now). There is however a western theme (since this is the west and it is a shootout) so try for a good western accent.
