Are you excited yet? FOSS4G Program details, Call for Maps, and more

July 22, 2014
Portland, Oregon, USA

Excitement builds as FOSS4G 2014 approaches! Join us in Portland,
Oregon this September 8th - 13th.  Attending FOSS4G in Portland is a
once in a lifetime opportunity.  FOSS4G is an incredible conference;
2013 was in Nottingham (UK) and 2015 will be in Seoul (South Korea),
but this year, FOSS4G is right in your backyard in Portland, Oregon
September 8th -13th!  Workshops are filling up -- register [1] now to
secure your seat in pre-conference workshops and your place at the
conference.

** Call for Maps!
------------------------------------------------------------
Represent the beauty of the Pacific Northwest in map form in the Map
Gallery.  We invite contributions to the FOSS4G Map Gallery to build
an exciting and vibrant exhibit of the very best in mapping. This map
gallery will not only demonstrate the work of delegates but also act
as a reference point for the current state of mapping.  We encourage
all delegates to share one example of their work and help us create a
cartographic record of the FOSS4G 2014 conference.  Read the full call
for maps [2] and enter your map [3].

** Workshops and general sessions program
------------------------------------------------------------
This year FOSS4G features more than 40 workshops [4], providing
excellent training opportunities on relevant, leading technologies --
and that’s all before the conference even begins.  With eight tracks
[5] of sessions, plus invited talks and a great selection of Keynote
Speakers, it will be a FOSS4G packed week to remember.

** Keynote biographies
------------------------------------------------------------
See exciting keyntoes by Mike Bostock of D3.js fame and the New York
Times, Sarah Novotny of NGINX and a program chair for O'Reilly Media's
OSCON, and Al Shaw whose work at ProPublica has been honored with
several awards.

** About FOSS4G
------------------------------------------------------------
The annual FOSS4G conference is the largest global gathering focused
on open source geospatial software. FOSS4G brings together developers,
users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of
organizations and fields of operation. Through six days of workshops,
presentations, discussions, and cooperation, FOSS4G participants
create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, and
protocols.

FOSS4G has been held all over the world and draws attendees from over
40 countries. Nottingham, England hosted the conference in 2013. In
2014, Portland, Oregon, USA will host FOSS4G’s tenth year.
