Come in, we are Open! FOSs4G 2016 opens Early Bird Registration

Apr 19, 2016 -- FOSS4G represents the global gathering of the Open Source Geospatial community with a deep focus on free and open source geospatial solutions under the auspices of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation - OSGeo. FOSS4G brings together developers, users, policy- and decision-makers, business representatives from a broad spectrum of organizations and professional geo-related fields.

After several months of preparations, last friday was the day we happily opened the doors of FOSS4G 2016 Bonn, Germany! From the 24th to the 26th of August hundreds (perhaps even one thousand!) users, developers, policy makers, academics from all over the world will gather in the city of Bonn to grasp the state of the art of free and open source geospatial software, to be inspired by open source software study cases and data solutions that solve real life problems and, of course, to rejoin old friends and make new ones.

This year’s FOSS4G theme, “Building bridges”, will bring together all geospatial users, developers and supporters, from professionals to absolute beginners, from business representatives to university teachers, from non-profit organizations to public institutions representatives. Furthermore, this year, FOSS4G will build bridges between geo-related communities. Our traditional FOSS4G topics will be enhanced with four key streams: Land Information, Disaster Management, Remote Sensing and Open Data.
