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)].

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.
