FOSS4G2006, the international conference addressing geospatial data technologies developed by or of relevance to the Open Source community, will be held September 12-15th, 2006 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The conference will bring together all of the Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics (FOSS4G) communities. The conference incorporates the OSGIS Conference, Mapserver User Meeting, GRASS Users Conference, Java oriented FOSS4G and EOGEO Workshops with the intent to be broadly inclusive.

Lausanne, Switzerland will host the conference, making it the first time many of these groups will meet in Europe. A committee is working to design a program with elements that will interest participants from the novice to the expert. The conference strives to build on the successes and enthusiasm generated by previous, related meetings.
