Subject for ApacheCon in Seville?

[Martin Desruisseaux <ma...@geomatys.com>]

Hello all

The submission for talks in the Apache Conference in Seville (Spain) [1]
closes this Friday. We are considering to create a geospatial talk as we
did in Vancouver. What could be the subject of an Apache SIS talk? Some
possibilities are:

  * Google Summer of Code result (presentation of Hao and Chinh's work)
      o Mapping Landsat metadata to ISO 19115
      o Mapping Modis metadata to ISO 19115
      o Mapping GeoTIFF metadata to ISO 19115 (partial work)
      o Catalog Service for the Web (CSW)
  * Reminding of Coordinate Reference System concepts, then presentation
    of what future may be:
      o The authority registries (EPSG, OGC)
      o Quick reminding of Well Known Text 2 (not in as much details as
        last year)
      o Extra-terrestrial bodies (Mars, asteroids, etc.): what can be
        used and what are the limitations of current model
      o OpenOffice add-in for coordinate transformations in Calc [2]
  * If there is a talk about API:
      o A demonstration of implementation-independence provided by API
      o How to trust better your implementation: run Geospatial
        Integrity of Geoscience Software (GIGS) tests.

The above contains some points that were already discussed in previous
talks (but summarizing them again may be useful) and some new points. Is
there any point that people suggest to add, remove or move to another
talk? (e.g. maybe the API part could be merged with a more generic API
talk by OGC).
