Dear all,
The FOSS4G.be is an annual conference focused on open source geospatial
software. This year, the event will be held on October 25 at Tour and
Taxi (Brussels).
As a geospatial conference, maps should certainly be a part of it!
That's why we organise a Map Gallery exhibit: We invite contributions to
the FOSS4G Map Gallery in order to create an exciting and vibrant
exhibit of the very best in mapping. Contributing to the FOSS4G.be Map
Gallery is simple: make a map involving at least open source technology
or open data.
Your map can be the result of a commercial venture or a personal
challenge.
We encourage all attendees to submit their work on paper (maximumsize
A1). If you are unable to print your map you can send it by e-mail (see
instuctions below). Interactive maps are welcome as well (please provide
us with an URL).
You will also be asked to provide us with a short description of your
map and possibly a brief statement of the methods, software and data you
used in your map design and production.
To make it simple, the two criteria's for submitting your work are :
The Map must have been created in 2017-2018
At least one step of the production process must have been achieved
using open source technology or open data.
We invite all users, inventors or map creators from anywhere in
Belgium or elsewhere to contribute to what will surely be an amazing
Map Gallery.
_On-Site Submission Guidelines_
E-mail map at foss4g.be (*before October 8*) and tell us to reserve a space
in the gallery for you. Bring a paper copy of your map with you to the
conference to hang in the gallery. The gallery map boards accommodate A1
paper maps. Larger maps are not allowed.
_Online Submission Guidelines_
Submit your map *before October 8* via e-mail (map at foss4g.be).
Maps submitted online must meet the following criteria:
Must be in .pdf format only (Include all fonts or convert to
outlines.) Minimum resolution: 2342 x 3311 pixels (we’ll print the maps in A1)
If you made a interactive map, please provide us with the URL.
