international FOSS4G conference, and starts this year hosting regional
conferences.
The LOC further informs that outstanding contributions to the FOSS4G-Europe
2018 academic track shall be invited to submit an extended article to later
feature in a special issue of the [Data](http://www.mdpi.com/journal/data)
