Subject: [OSGeo-Announce] Barcelona to host FOSS4G conference
in 2010

Barcelona (Spain) selected to host the 2010 international
conference for "Free & Open Source Software for
GeoSpatial" (FOSS4G).
The OSGeo Foundation has selected Barcelona for the location of the
FOSS4G 2010 conference, to take place in September.
FOSS4G is the premier international event organized around Free and
Open Source Software for Geospatial. The selection of Barcelona
brings
the conference back to Europe, providing an ideal central
location for
experienced users and core developers to meet and share
experiences.
It is also the single best annual conference to dive in to the Open
Source geospatial world, with introductory workshops, case
studies of
successful implementations, and numerous opportunities for meeting
others who have leveraged FOSS to solve their problems.
The Spanish language chapter of OSGeo is pleased to be selected to
host FOSS4G 2010. Geospatial Free and Open Source Software has great
institutional support in Spain. Government administrations like
Extremadura, Andalucia and Comunidad Valencia are investing
heavily in
building software that meets their needs. The official language
of the
conference will be English, but the Spanish speaking community will
have numerous opportunities to participate in their native
language.
In addition to software, the conference will also touch on a variety
of related topics such as open data, open standards and the INSPIRE
directive. To receive additional information about the conference

*About OSGeo*
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation has been created to support
and
build the highest-quality Open Source geospatial software. The
foundation's goal is to encourage the use and collaborative
development of community-led projects, data development and
education
[1].
*About OSGeo-es*
The Spanish language chapter is a fast growing community
embracing all
countries that speak the Spanish language. It is focused on
promoting
and building software, localizing documentation, and sharing
educational material. The primary activity of the chapter is the
realization of a Free GIS book, built by the community and
distributed
with a Creative Commons license.
*About FOSS4G*
FOSS4G is the annual international conference on Open Source
geospatial software. From its beginning the FOSS4G conference has
been
the gathering of the spatial tribes and has a reputation of being a
melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a
catalyst for
many successful geospatial products, standards and protocols. The
2008
conference was held in Cape Town, South Africa and was a huge
success[2]. The 2009 conference will be held in Sydney,
Australia[3].
FOSS4G 2010 Barcelona will be the eighth "formal" gathering of the
Open Source geospatial community. 2010 will be a key year for
Europe,
with the INSPIRE initiative, and FOSS4G will be the best place to
see
the Free Software way to make an SDI work.
