About

JS.geo is a conference all about Geospatial Javascript, and is intended to be a gathering of those who are either actively hacking on JavaScript for geo or deeply interested in learning more. Client-side, server-side, or both it's all good! This is not a marketing show and there will be no booths or salespeople (unless they can also code). Come ready to learn, code, and contribute. 

In the end, this meeting is about getting all the JS GEO people in one space and watching what emerges. We, of course, think the world will come out a better place because of it!

SimTable is a physical table sand on which GIS and agent-based simulations are projected from full screen HTML5 browsers. The table is used in collaborative decision making and tabletop exercises in emergency management, urban planning and STEM education. The underlying technology, AnySurface, currently runs on a laptop or android phone and uses machine vision for object tracking, 3D surface scanning and to support laserpointer interaction. The projector / camera pair allows for realtime calibration and warping of projections onto any nonuniform surface in any room with interactive control via mobile phones and laserpointers.

Details

Where: CU Denver, North Classroom Room 1535 

When: Jan 14th and 15th 2012 

Style: Conference, Semi-Unconference, and Sprint/Hack (see below)

Day 1: The first day will be a blend of styles. We've planned a half day of structured, scheduled talks by the minds behind libraries like Leaflet, Modestmaps, Openlayers and from companies like Esri, Google and OpenGeo.  These talks will be advanced talks on specific ideas, concepts, and innovations from some of the most brilliant people in the industry. The second half of the day will give EVERYONE a chance to talk. We'll be doing a free-form semi-unconference where anyone and everyone will be encouraged to stand and give a demo style talk, pose a question, or just take the floor and talk about what interests them. A special thanks goes out to the Facility for Advanced Spatial Technology (FAST) at the University of Colorado Denver for providing the facilities for the day one of our event! 

Day 2: Sponsor workshops, social code sprinting, and JS exploration. We'll be posting up for a second day of maps and javascript at a space called Galvanize (http://galvanize.it/galvanize-space/). The space has a public cafe, plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and we've got a couple classrooms all day, and a big conference room in the afternoon. We'll have a Day 2 schedule up soon with topics and ideas, but we HOPE that day 1 inspires several people to get together and explore some the ideas and code that were talked about the first day. 

Galvanize Address: 1062 Delaware Street, Denver, CO
