Come in, we're open!

FOSS4G-2016 registration started!

After several months of preparations, last friday was the day we 
happily opened the doors of FOSS4G 2016 Bonn, Germany! From the 24th to 
the 26th of August hundreds (perhaps even one thousand!) users, 
developers, policy makers, academics from all over the world will gather 
in the city of Bonn to grasp the state of the art of free and open 
source geospatial software, to be inspired by open source software study 
cases and data solutions that solve real life problems and, of course, 
to rejoin old friends and make new ones.

Besides the key notes, the topic talks and the 180 presentations 
clustered into the core conference you can extend your own program by 
joining one or more of the 40 workshops 
[http://foss4g2016.org/programme.html#workshops], or by contributing 
your pieces of code or documentation to one or more of the open source 
geospatial projects [http://foss4g2016.org/programme.html#code-sprints]

Following the long working days of the conference, there is a a fine 
set of social events prepared for you to make sure your visit to the 
2016 edition of the FOSS4G conference will be an unforgettable 
experience.

Today is the day that registration starts. Early registration doesn't 
just mean you have secured your place at this remarkable event, it also 
helps us giving the conference its final shape. Therefore, if you 
register before 8th of May, we award you with a 160 € discount. Maybe 
more importantly though, we have prepared a surprise for our early 
birds. You have the opportunity to win one of the 50 unique FOSS4G 2016 
T-shirts! Will you be one of the lucky ones?
