OSGeo Hacking event, Bolsena - Italy Start: 00:00 End: 23:59 We will have an OSGeo "hacking" event in an Italian monastry. The monastry is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest places for such an event. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Hacking_event Geospatial Web Services Workshop 2008, Nottingham, UK Start: 00:00 End: 23:59 From: [http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/geowebservices/ www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/geowebservices/] There will also be a presentation about OSGeo given. ----- Service-Oriented Software Research Network (SOSoRNET) and Centre for Geospatial Science, University of Nottingham would like to invite you to join us for a two day workshop on geospatial web services which will be held at the University of Nottingham. Participation in the workshop is free but limited to 50 people on first come registration basis. The key aims of this workshop are: * to hear presentations from leading academic and industry players on their research on geospatial web services technology * to network and develop ideas for future collaborative research in geospatial web services * to understand current developments in geospatial web services with focus on generalization and schematization research. Organisations making presentations include CGS Nottingham, Ordnance Survey, ITC Netherlands, ESRI, University of Zurich, CASA UCL, CORILA Italy, e-Science Centre and the University of Cardiff. In order to reserve your place, please register online. We look forward to welcoming you to Nottingham for an interesting workshop and discussions in this exciting and rapidly developing research theme. [http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/geowebservices/booking.htm Register here] Evaluating Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformation, Warsaw, Poland Start: 00:00 End: 23:59 Both events are being offered to the international GIS community – in particular: * members of organizations dealing with geo-information (GI); * scientists; * small- and medium entrepreneurs; * representatives of regional self-government authorities; * staff of institutions involved in implementation of the GMES Programme, including representatives of national GMES offices; * staff of National Mapping Authorities (NMAs); * other members of the Open-Source community The main purpose of the International Symposium is to present results accomplished so far by the CASCADOSS Project partners, such as outcomes of an assessment of available FOSS4G tools and solutions, and to demonstrate the most promising and useful applications. We will also strive to address the following questions: # In what way open-source software can foster use of GI technologies (particularly in reference to the GMES Programme) in the public sector? # How the existing GI standards contribute to the development of open-source applications? What are the current trends in this area? # How can FOSS4G services benefit from open-source solutions and stimulate the development of business-related GIS&RS applications? http://www.cascadoss.eu deegree day 2008, Bonn Start: 00:00 End: 23:59 Bonn January 14, 2008. After two successful years the '''deegree day''' has become an essential part of the deegree community. We would like to continue this tradition with our third deegree day on '''June 17th 2008 in Bonn'''. As in the last years this conference will be '''free of charge'''. The deegree day will provide a platform for exchange and discussion on the deegree project: Developers will present both current and upcoming features while users will show the latest project solutions. You will have the opportunity to discuss pressing open issues in technology, communication, documentation and project organization. A preliminary agenda has been set up: '''June 16th evening''' For those who will arrive a day before we will organize an informal 'get together' in a charming pub located in the "Old Town" of Bonn. '''June 17th all day''' deegree day conference The deegree day conference is open to all interested institutions and individuals free of charge. A detailed program will be announced in April. '''June 18th half-day''' Workshops on special deegree features (fee required). Topics, duration and price will be announced soon. Details on the event can be found at http://deegree.org/deegreeday Proposals for presentations (German or English language) are welcome at deegreedaypapers@deegree.org Seminar and workshops Open Source Geo-ICT: knowledge from the source, Delft - Netherlands Start: 09:15 End: 17:00 Open Source Geo-ICT can't be stopped! The use of OS is ever increasing in the geospatial domain. Just think about MapServer, PostGIS, Flamingo, the GDAL/OGR libraries and all the applications based on that. On Tuesday 17 June the Geo-Database Management Center of the GIS-technology Unit at the Research Institute OTB from the Technical University Delft organizes a seminar in collaboration with the Program Bureau 'Nederland Open in Verbinding' and Rijkswaterstaat. The seminar targets the use of Open Source Software in the geospatial domain. The seminar is a follow-up of the successful seminar held in October 2007 in Utrecht.
