The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference has released a lineup of 24 hands-on workshops for the 2011 conference, which will be held September 12-16, in Denver, Colorado. FOSS4G is the premier international conference focused on open source geospatial software.
The bulk of the workshops provide an opportunity for in-depth insight into different tools of the open source geospatial stack from leading developers and practitioners. Many of the workshops focus on the customizing of code to match specific needs. There are also several introductory course to help the novice gain familiarity with the capabilities and applications of this robust software. A full lineup of workshops, with descriptions, can be found online at http://2011.foss4g.org/workshops/.
The event has strong support from major sponsors that include ESRI, Google, OpenGeo, MapQuest, and Newmont and is organized by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) with support from an all-volunteer organizing committee and professional conference management from GITA. The 2011 FOSS4G event in Denver marks the first North American event in four years, with the prior three events taking place in Barcelona, Sydney, and Cape Town.
