FOSS4G a success!

Considering that this year’s FOSS4G venue in Sydney,

The famous opera in Sydney, Australia — Die berühmte Oper in Sydney, Australien

From the perspective of many stakeholders, Australia was half a world away, so the event with 420 registered participants was one of the smaller events, but still a complete success. A key observation is that OpenSource GIS projects have matured and the perception in the GIS world has generally continued to increase. This is also demonstrated by FOSS4G sponsors such as SAFE Software (FME) and Autodesk.

Looking at the area of web mapping, which is of particular interest to terrestris, we can confidently say that Web 2.0 has arrived in the field of WebGIS. In addition to others, the MapFish and geoext projects should be mentioned, which have provided important impulses in this area.

terrestris was happy to travel the long distance to Sydney and will be back again next year: in Barcelona, Spain. Nos vemos!
