> We are proud to announce the second edition of the FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software For Geospatial) Europe Conference.
>
> The conference will bring together some of the most fervent developers, users and promoters of FOSS4G from Europe and beyond; it will also foster closer interactions with and amongst European communities in order to share ideas for improving geodata, software and applications, openness, and availability. This international event will be held in Italy at Politecnico di Milano, Como Campus (http://www.polo-como.polimi.it/en/), from July 14 through 17, 2015.

> One day of workshops precedes the conference (14 July 2015) and the code sprint closes the event (18 July 2015). Besides the traditional Academic Track (one day track), four special tracks on FOSS4G for water resources (one day track), Open Geodata (half day track), FOSS4G for Libraries (half day track) and Indoor/Outdoor Positioning (one day track) will be organized. A meeting of the labs involved in the GeoForAll (http://www.geoforall.org/) initiative will take place. A mapping party for celebrating the International Map Year (http://internationalmapyear.org/) will be also organized.
