There will be 16 talks from different types of open source projects: from more academic projects to applications using (and updating) openstreetmap to back-end libraries and databases. Among others, the results of last year google summer of code projects at OSGeo will be presented. The schedule of this year's edition can be found here: https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/track/geospatial/ Be sure to check out also the other tracks - there are more than 500 presentations to choose from! Admission is free of charge. Registration is not required. Hope to see many of you in Brussels! -- Johan Van de Wauw From jsanz at osgeo.org Mon Jan 9 02:04:38 2017 From: jsanz at osgeo.org (Jorge Sanz) Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 11:04:38 +0100 Subject: [OSGeo-Announce] =?utf-8?b?4oCcR2VvRm9yQWxs4oCdIExhYiBvZiB0aGUg?= =?utf-8?q?Month_=E2=80=93_Texas_A=26M_University_=E2=80=93_Corpus_?= =?utf-8?q?Christi_=2C_USA?= Message-ID: On behalf of GeoForAll and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation let me take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Happy New Year 2017 [1] and a successful year ahead. It is also my great pleasure, to introduce our colleagues at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi , USA as our “GeoForAll” lab of this month in the New Year. The Spatial {Query} Lab [2] at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi has a mission of making spatial technology, education, and information accessible to everyone. A large part of meeting this mission is the continued development and maintenance of the GeoAcademy curriculum ( http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/ ). Full details are at http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2017/01/geoforall-lab-of-the-month-texas-am-university-corpus-christi-usa/ On behalf of the GeoForAll community, we thank Richard Smith and all colleagues the Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi , USA for their help and for their contributions to the GeoForAll initiative and look forward to working and building more collaborations with all interested on this education mission. We believe in empowering people with spatial decision making tools to help build a better society for all of humanity. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation is the world’s largest Geospatial ecosystem , so we welcome you to the huge network of our partners and collaborators globally from governments, industry , universities, NGOs worldwide that you can connect to expand your ideas rapidly. Open innovation is key in driving Digital Economy opportunities and we are determined to make sure that everyone benefits. May the FOSS be with everyone...
