Dear Colleague,

The Steering Group of the OGRS community would like to invite you to
participate at the next Open Source Geospatial Research & Education
Symposium on June 10 - 13, 2014 in Helsinki, Finland.

The new deadline for sending abstracts is January 17.!

The OGRS symposium is an excellent opportunity for researchers,
teachers, students, developers, innovators and entrepreneurs interested
in exploring the growing potential of free and open source geospatial
software in research and education.

Participants will learn about cutting-edge scientific findings and
results obtained with free and open source geospatial software through
presentations, hands-on workshops and discussions while enjoying the
bright summer season in the beautiful Finnish scenery.

* Please feel free to forward this invitation. *
* Apologies if you receive this invitation more than once. *

============== Symposium Topics ===================

Papers
----------------

Applications of Open Source Geospatial Tools in Education: Share your
experience and present interesting use cases in applying open source
technologies in education.

Applications of Open Source Geospatial Tools in Research: Present your
original scientific findings, innovative developments or novel use cases
of open source geospatial software.

Workshops
----------------

The workshops will provide an in-depth overview and hands-on experience
in a topic and related free and open source geospatial software.
Workshop leaders are researchers and/or core developers of the software
and therefore well prepared to demonstrate and explain the software and
its functionalities, and help the workshop participants learn the
installation and use of the software. Participants also get information
where to find more information about the software, download it, and how
to contact or join the development team.

Discussion Groups
---------------------------

The aim of a discussion group is to talk about an initiative, open
source project, new research idea, or a joint collaborative research
paper in the area of open-source in geospatial.

About Call for Papers
-------------------------------

Please submit an abstract (1000 - 1500 words) on the abstract submission
page. The abstracts will be reviewed by the conference scientific
committee which will decide on accepting the original submission as an
oral presentation (full conference paper) or as a poster. A full
conference paper is then requested for each accepted oral presentation
so as to be published in the peer reviewed conference proceedings. A
subset selection of papers will be considered and assisted for
publication in journals.
