<body><div>Dear all,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The FOSS4G.be is an annual conference focused on open source geospatial software. This year, the event will be held on October 26 at Tour and Taxi (Brussels).<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As a geospatial conference, maps should certainly be a part of it! That's why we decided to 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.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Your map can be the result of a commercial venture or a personal challenge.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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).<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>To make it simple, the two criteria's for submitting your work are :<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div> The Map must have been created in 2016-2017<br></div>
<div> At least one step of the production process must have been achieved using open source technology or open data.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
