44 Presentations will be held in technical, community, research,

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.
