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 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.
