INTERGEO premieres -- Open Source Park

"The launch of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) at the start of 
this year and the Open Source Park, which is being staged for the first time 
at INTERGEO 2006, reflect the importance of free software in the GIS sector, 
both in Germany and elsewhere," says Arnulf Christl, one of OSGeo’s nine 
directors. Projects from the international and German-speaking Free and Open 
Source Software community will be showcased in Hall C3 on a special area 
covering 400m2. Service providers from throughout the Free and Open Source 
Software sectors will be presenting their solutions. Each day, a series of 
presentations will be held on well-known open source software packages such as 
UMN MapServer, Mapbender, PostGIS or Geotools. The focus is on new 
applications, security mechanisms and the OSGeo Foundation. The speakers are 
suppliers and users of FOSSGIS software and report on their motivation for 
using open source software and their experiences with it.
