The theme for 2015 is ?Toward Diversity, Big Bang in Asia", highlighting the importance of diversity and locality around Open Source GIS. To sponsors, FOSS4G Seoul will be a unique chance to reach the growing Asian market. This is the first time the international FOSS4G conference has run in Asia and is expected to attract many delegates from all around Asia. In spite of global economic slowdown, Asia region has been showing steady growth. Also many vibrant open source GIS activities have been seen in the region. Seoul is only 2 hours flight from the economic centers of Tokyo and Beijing, providing sponsors with an opportunity to approach these major markets. BOOK NOW to take advantage of extensive direct marketing campaigns that will extend your exposure well before and beyond the Conference itself. For further details, please contact Heegu Park through hgpark at gaia3d.com. There is discount rate for early sponsors, and sponsorship packages can be tailored to meet individual requirements. (e.g. substituting exhibition space for additional delegates or some alternative benefit). Thank you so much. *** --- Sanghee Shin, Chair of FOSS4G 2015 "Toward Diversity!

The goal is to provide open source software developers and communities a place to meet. Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. https://fosdem.org/ The FOSDEM team feels it is very important for open source software developers around the world to be able to meet in ?real life?. To this end, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and discussions. We believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings. This year a team of OSGeo and related community members led by Johan Van de Wauw is organising Geospatial devroom, packed with talks about web development, open geodata, mobile platforms, algorithms and much more. See the full schedule of the Geospatial devroom here: https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/track/geospatial/ Expect many more talks to be announced in other tracks the coming weeks: https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/events/ Hope to see you in Brussels the 31st of January and 1st of February 2015: https://fosdem.org/2015/practical/transportation/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This session will look at the growing role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the geosciences with a special emphasis on the interoperability among existing and future FOSS-tools within Geoinformatics. The session will be a forum for both the latest advances in FOSS-empowered research and also successful applications of existing FOSS tools for geoscientific tasks. Also, this session will discuss issues relating to publication and citation of software and other conceptual contributions to scientific free and open source software. The link for abstract submission can be found here: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/abstractsubmission/17174 EGU 2015 will be held from 12 - 17 April, 2015 in Vienna, Austria. The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is 07 January 2015, 13:00 CET. We look forward to your participation and contribution. Peter L?we, Jens Klump, Dominik E. Reusser, Yann Chemin and Markus Neteler
