The [http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca/2008/ 2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality] will be held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, from the 28-29th of August 2008. It follows the great success of the first edition that took place in Banff, AB, in 2006.
The second edition will be the opportunity to pursue the discussions and reflections initiated between the geospatial and augmented reality communities. This year, the workshop is organised jointly with the workshop of the GeoEduc3D research project funded by the [http://www.geoide.ulaval.ca/ GEOIDE] Network of Centres of Excellence. GeoEduc3D deals with educative mobile games, augmented reality and geospatial technologies. Therefore, the mobile game community will also be targeted by the workshop.

The Geoinformatics FCE CTU 2008 Workshop will be held in Prague, Czech Republic from the 18-19th of September 2008. The workshop is organized by Department of Mapping and Cartography, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.
The workshop is focused on the relevance of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) (not only) in Geoinformatics concerning wide range of topics:
- teaching methods
- software development
- public geodata
- software patents
- migration from proprietary software to free software at
schools, public administration, etc.

The annual [http://www.foss4g2008.org Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference] brings together the people who create, use, and support open spatial software. No other event brings together members of the open source development, open data creation, and open standards promotion communities like FOSS4G.
The 2008 FOSS4G Conference will be held in the fascinating and beautiful city of [http://www.foss4g2008.org/www.capetown.gov.za/ Cape Town, South Africa] from the Monday 29th September to Friday 3rd October at the [http://www.cticc.co.za/ Cape Town International Convention Centre].
In a change from the norm, the FOSS4G 2008 will incorporate one of the biggest GIS events in South Africa - the GISSA 2008 Conference - Interest is expected from the International and Local Communities who might normally attend FOSS4G, as well as a new and enthusiastic audience. South African interest is expected to grow in the light of our new government Open Source Software policy. And of course we expect the usual GISSA community in South Africa to attend, including proprietary GIS vendors, users and presenters. Open communication, debate and discussion amongst the ‘proprietary’ and ‘FOSS’ communities will be encouraged.
The Conference Theme is Open Source GIS: an option for Developing Nations. FOSS4G 2008 is presented by [http://www.osgeo.org OSGeo] and the [http://www.gissa.org.za/ Geo-Information Society of South Africa (GISSA)].

This year's Intergeo trade fair and conference takes place in Bremen, Germany from September 30th through October 2nd.
Unfortunately this event again takes place at the same time as FOSS4G 2008.
The OSGeo operates a booth area providing space for Open Source Geospatial software projects and booths for commercial enterprises.
The following Free and Open Source communities will be at the Open Source Parc (OSP) and present the projects:
* Desktop-GIS: gvSIG, QGIS
* WebMapping: deegree, Mapbender, MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers
* Spatial Database: PostGIS

The GIN/RGI Symposium is a two-yearly tradition. With these symposiums GIN informs her members about the latest development in Geo Information and GIS, in theorem and practical. The symposium is a event to show innovative projects to the (national)world.
On this GIN/RGI symposium "geo-future" will be the central topic. Giving the audience the ability to learn the latest development and innovation in GI, practically and from an academic perspective. In lectures and discussions we will look at the future. There will be a GI-marketplace and possibility to link with other professionals in the field.

The Spanish Language Local Chapter of OSGeo invites everybody to participate, Monday Feb. 9 2009, in the Convention Palace (Palacio de las Convenciones), in a day of workshops and practical demonstrations [4] prepared by some of the members of its community. These workshops promise to offer an overview of FOSS4G state of the art technologies and to let users, developers and Latin-American communities meet the international one.
OSGeo and OSGeo-es will be introduced in a dedicated session. A round table on Free Software for Geomatics will be organized too.
The VI Geomatics International Congress will join together a group of high level specialist who will address several issues on IT and Earth Sciences. For further information and to submit your talk or workshop proposal, please visit the web site of the event [2]. Call for Papers deadline is set on Oct. 30, 2008.
