FOSS4G 2015: Call for Presentations

The FOSS4G organising committee has announced the Call for Presentations for the conference, which will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 14-19 September 2015. The programme is expected to include around 200 presentations showing the uses of open-source geospatial software in various fields and benefits of open-source geospatial software. There will be 6-8 parallel streams in a range of subjects from diverse fields. Each individual presentation will be allowed about 25 minutes plus 5 minutes for Q&A.

FOSS4G will, as always, be a leading showcase event for new applications, projects, government policies, case studies, business perspectives and training for free and open-source geospatial software. In addition to catering to the existing FOSS4G community, attendance is being encouraged from anyone considering using open-source and geospatial software for the first time. The organising committee is therefore keen to receive content which supports new users.

FOSS4G is the annual global gathering for those both currently or potentially working with open source geospatial software. It brings together a mix of developers, users, decision makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organisations and fields of operation for six days of workshops, presentations, and discussions.

There is a separate call for submissions of abstracts for peer-review and academic publication in the Academic Presentation process.
