    Call for Presentations

Please forward!


FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event bringing together about 5000
developers in Brussels, Belgium. The goal is to provide open source
software developers and communities a place to meet and share thoughts.
The participation is free of charge, although donations are welcome. The
next edition will take place on 4 - 5 February 2017. For the third (!)
time there will be a Geospatial devroom and will be happening on Sunday
5/2/2017!

Geospatial technologies and mapping used to be specialist work, but
nowadays location and maps are becoming part of many
projects/applications, which usually use only a small subset of the
possibilities the data and software offer.

The geospatial devroom is the place to talk about open, geo-related data
and software and their ecosystem. This includes standards and tools,
e.g. for spatial databases, and online mapping, geospatial services,
used for collecting, storing, delivering, analysing, and visualizing
purposes.

We welcome submissions about:

  *

    Web and desktop GIS applications;

  *

    Collaborative editing / versioning of geodata and metadata;

  *

    Interoperable geospatial web services and specifications;

  *

    Collection of data using sensors / UAVs / satellites;

  *

    Geo-analytic algorithms / libraries;

  *

    Geospatial extensions for classical databases (indexes, operations)
    and dedicated databases;

  *

    Big geodata, scalable GIS applications;

  *

    Volunteered Geographic information - Crowdsourced geodata.
