Our annual conference calendar also begins this spring with the FOSSGIS Conference, specifically from March 9 to 11. For many years, FOSSGIS has been the leading conference in German-speaking countries for Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformation Systems, as well as for topics related to Open Data and OpenStreetMap. This year, the FOSSGIS Conference is celebrating a premiere, in a way; it is taking place for the first time in the state of Hesse, at the Philipps University in Marburg. Due to Corona, this year’s conference will also be held as a purely online conference.
As in every year, we will use the FOSSGIS conference to report on new developments from our company. We will report on new developments of proven software, as well as present new projects. In addition to lectures and demo sessions, we offer the participants of the conference the opportunity to further their education in selected Open Source components within the framework of workshops.
