10 years of FOSSGIS e.V. - Free Geospatial Software development in Germany
Proposed Abstract
FOSSGIS e.V., formaly known as 'GRASS Anwender Vereinigung' has its roots back in the 1999 year. More than 10 years of free and open source software in Germany, much earlier than OSGeo even exists, a strong and powerful community arround free GIS-software worked on different projects like Mapbender, Thuban, GRASS GIS, MapIt etc. The history of the FOSSGIS e.V. will be presented.
This talk tries to give an impression about the german OSGeo-Chapter[1] and the yearly conference FOSSGIS<current_year()>, which took place in Osnabrück[2] Germany at the beginning of march. The FOSSGIS-conference is the german-speaking equivalent to FOSS4G and a large community-meeting. Starting in 2002 a continually growing community up to 500 participants reagularily visites the conference and presents and discusses 'hot' geographic and free geodata-related topics.
