The OSGeo Foundation has selected Barcelona for the location of the FOSS4G 2010 conference, to take place in September.

FOSS4G is the premier international event organized around Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. The selection of Barcelona brings the conference back to Europe, providing an ideal central location for experienced users and core developers to meet and share experiences. It is also the single best annual conference to dive in to the Open Source geospatial world, with introductory workshops, case studies of successful implementations, and numerous opportunities for meeting others who have leveraged FOSS to solve their problems.

The Spanish language chapter of OSGeo is pleased to be selected to host FOSS4G 2010. Geospatial Free and Open Source Software has great institutional support in Spain. Government administrations like Extremadura, Andalucia and Comunidad Valencia are investing heavily in building software that meets their needs. The official language of the conference will be English, but the Spanish speaking community will have numerous opportunities to participate in their native language.

In addition to software, the conference will also touch on a variety of related topics such as open data, open standards and the INSPIRE directive. To receive additional information about the conference go to:

About FOSS4G

FOSS4G is the annual international conference on Open Source geospatial software. From its beginning the FOSS4G conference has been the gathering of the spatial tribes and has a reputation of being a melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a catalyst for many successful geospatial products, standards and protocols. The 2008 conference was held in Cape Town, South Africa and was a huge success[2]. The 2009 conference will be held in Sydney, Australia[3]. FOSS4G 2010 Barcelona will be the eighth "formal" gathering of the Open Source geospatial community. 2010 will be a key year for Europe, with the INSPIRE initiative, and FOSS4G will be the best place to see the Free Software way to make an SDI work.

La Fundación OSGeo ha seleccionado Barcelona como localidad de la conferencia FOSS4G 2010, que se celebrará en septiembre.

El FOSS4G es el primer evento internacional organizado acerca de Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (Software Geoespacial Libre y Abierto). La selección de Barcelona trae la conferencia de vuelta a Europa, proporcionando una localización central ideal para que usuarios experimentados y desarrolladores clave se encuentren y compartan experiencias. Es también la mejor conferencia anual para bucear en el mundo geoespacial de código abierto, integrando talleres introductorios, casos de estudio de implementaciones de éxito, y numerosas oportunidades para encontrarse con otros que han potenciado y utilizado el FOSS para solucionar sus problemas.

El capítulo hispanohablante de OSGeo está encantado de haber sido seleccionado para acoger el FOSS4G 2010. El software de código abierto y libre geoespacial posee un gran soporte institucional en España. Administraciones Públicas como Extremadura, Andalucía y la Comunidad Valenciana están invirtiendo firmemente en la construcción de software que cumpla sus necesidades. El idioma oficial de la conferencia será el inglés, pero la comunidad hispanohablante tendrá numerosas oportunidades de participar en su idioma nativo.

Además del software, la conferencia también tratará una variedad de temas relacionados como datos abiertos y la Directiva INSPIRE. Para recibir información adicional sobre la conferencia, diríjase a:

Acerca del FOSS4G

FOSS4G es la conferencia anual sobre software geoespacial de código abierto. Desde su comienzo, la conferencia FOSS4G ha sido la reunión de las tribus espaciales teniendo la reputación de actuar como crisol de grandes ideas en la industria geoespacial, así como de catalizador de muchos productos, estándares y protocolos espaciales. La conferencia de 2008 tuvo lugar en Ciudad El Cabo, Sudáfrica con un éxito enorme[3]. La conferencia de 2009 tendrá lugar en Sydney, Australia[4]. El FOSS4G 2010 en Barcelona será la octava reunión "formal" de la comunidad geoespacial. 2010 será un año clave en Europa, con la iniciativa INSPIRE, y el FOSS4G será el mejor lugar para ver la manera en que el Software Libre hace funcionar una IDE.
