We are delighted to announce that our Keynote for OSGeoIE 2019 will be '''Mr. Martin Høgh''' ([https://twitter.com/mhoegh?lang=en Twitter]). Martin is an open source code, urban planner and founder of the [http://www.mapcentia.com/ MapCentia] company in Denmark and developer of [https://www.osgeo.org/projects/gc2-vidi/ GC2 and Vidi]. The GC2/Vidi framework helps you build a spatial data infrastructure quickly and easily. This framework is powered using open source components and facilitates the deployment of PostGIS, MapServer, QGIS Server, MapCache, Elasticsearch, GDAL/ogr2ogr while Vidi is described as 'a modern take on browser GIS'. It is the front-end client for GC2. Martin will also give a workshop on GC2 in the afternoon.  
  
The symposium will provide a relaxed and stimulating environment to learn about OSGeo, meet people with similar interest in OSGeo and FOSS4G, and learn new skills in the workshops. There are lots of people using OSGeo software and tools in Ireland and this symposium will allow them to meet and re-connect as a community.
