44 Presentations will be held in technical, community, research, 
scientific and business blocks. Presentations are held by FOSSGIS 
practitioners and address both developers and decision maker. Topics 
cover all walks of geo life starting with reports from the fast growing 
community project OpenStreetmap then running allong Ruby on Rails and 
stretching to ministerial success stories about completely FOSS based 
spatial data infrastructures.

This year's workshop program introduces the software projects 
OpenLayers, Mapbender, kvwmap, GRASS, QGIS, gvSIG, deegree, UMN 
MapServer and GeoServer. Thematic workshops cover geo portal solutions, 
sensor GIS and a full scale SDI on a Live-CD.

in the exhibition area to highlight the latest technology, show new 
products and solutions and talk business. The social event will take 
place in the Wodanhalle on the first day of the conference (Tuesday,
