GeoNetwork opensource Workshop 2007 results 
All material that was developed for the GeoNetwork opensource Third Annual Workshop 2007 - November 2007 - held at FAO Headquarters in Rome - Italy is now available on-line.
The GeoNetwork week (5-9 November) was organized by the FAO Natural Resouces Management and Environment Department (NRCE) to promote communication among the major actors of the GeoNetwork opensource project (users, developers and managers), to keep them updated on the latest software implementations and to work together on planning a new development strategy for the coming year.
The workshop started with two parallel sessions dedicated to the latest version 2.1 of the GeoNetwork opensource software. One session focused on the end users perspective while the other one gave an overview on the underlying techniques of GeoNetwork, the web site administration and the remote harvesting capabilities.
A plenary session took place in the middle of the week to present and evaluate some existing GeoNetwork opensource nodes installed around the world. In particular, FAO, WFP, OCHA, WHO, UNHCR, JRC, CSI_CGIAR, ICIMOD, the GEOSS initiative and the BlueNet project from the University of Tasmania, exposed their experience and highlighted their achievements using GeoNetwork.
Working groups were also organized to discuss new GeoNetwork requirements, prepare a work program and a project strategy for the forthcoming year.
Within the framework of the GeoNetwork Workshop, other technical workshops were held on Open Source Web-mapping and Desktop GIS applications.
