Conferences
17–19 July 2018, Guimarães, Portugal
FOSS4G-EUROPE 2018
The FOSS4G-Europe Conference will be held in Guimarães, Portugal, from July 17 to 19th, 2018. Two days for workshops are scheduled. On 16th, just before the conference and on 20th, after the conference. We also support a code sprint for two days, 20 and 21th of July.
The Conference aims to bring together the European FOSS4G community. It is not an academic neither a business event. It is a community event, to support face to face meetings and discussions, to foster interactions, to share knowledge and passion.
The Conference is organized by Portugal OSGeo Chapter, on behalf of the Europe OSGeo Chapter.
The conference tagline is ‘Remembering how we started’. We have done so much in the last few years! We establish strong and healthy communities, and we are building great tools and de facto standards using the most up-to-date technology. For newbies, the jargon we use can be scary. But we need to keep all communities and projects open to newbies to guarantee long-term viability and to keep on the cutting-edge of technology. Let’s add another F in FOSS4G meaning Free and Friendly for first timers: FFOSS4G!
Under this slogan, we invite individuals (and tribes) to share their stories and prepare activities for FOSS4G newbies. We also would like to have stories about how companies and local administrations started to contribute to FOSS4G, Track topics include, but are not restricted to:.
FOSS4G business models and case studies
Mapping
Open Data
Interoperability
INSPIRE
Earth Observation
Spatial Data Infrastructures
FOSS4G in the local or central administration
