Cascadoss International Symposium and Workshop, 16th, 2008 - Jun 19th, 2008 in Warsaw, Poland
The international symposium will bring together both professional developers and (potential) customers of GIS/RS Open Source technology and will, as such, stimulate research & innovation and networking in this field. The workshop part targets GIS-experts with a high level of expertise in GIS and/or programming, such as software service providers and IT/GIS-SMEs.
Event organized within the CASCADOSS project.

Presentation: Trends in development of Free and Open Source Software for Geomatics (draft material)
- Why-FOSS4G Trends:
- The geospatial industry is moving toward Open Standards. Open Standards facilitates:
- Interoperability between agencies which increases availability of data (in Europe, see INSPIRE)
- Move to Standards based, Commercial Off The Shelf (SCOTS) software. In turn SCOTS software becomes a commodity item which brings the price of the SCOTS software down.
- Without vendor lock-in traps, Open Source successfully competes with proprietary software.
- The geospatial industry is moving toward Open Standards. Open Standards facilitates:
- FOSS4G Interoperability Trends:
- GDAL/OGR started in 1998 with XX formats, used by GRASS and few others
- today many raster and vector formats, used by many software packages
- FDO goes open source in 2006
- OGC standards are getting implemented in various OSGeo software packages
- esp. WPS is gaining interest (pyWPS, 52°N implementations)
- GeoRSS becomes OGC whitepaper
- FOSS4G WebGIS Trends:
- Web 1.0: static pages ...
- Web(GIS) 1.5: a bit dynamic pages
- Web(GIS) 2.0: the "I GIS" Web
- collective intelligence, crowdsourcing, collective mapping (OSM, ...)
- GIS meets social Web
- you and me with GPS: mapping party (new fashion in Italy)
- Sensor web (SOS)
- NASA WorldWind, ...
- Mapserver (p.mapper, ka-maps, ...), OpenLayers, FeatureServer, Geoserver, MapGuide OS, pyWPS...
- it's all about protocols and mashups
- Web(GIS) 3.0: the semantic Web or the Geoweb (?)
- our online data get (spatially) organized?
- FOSS4G GIS Analytics Trends:
- also (Desktop) GIS wants to be online: Web Processing Service (pyWPS, 52°N, ...)
- federated databases
- GRASS as free GIS backbone
- distributed and parallel computing (GIS number crunching)
- FOSS4G Community Trends:
- Communication technology:
- 80s: phone, letter, magnetic tape...
- 1989 (?): GRASS FTP server online - the first FOSS4G GIS server in civil internet?
- 1991: GRASS Mailing lists started: grass-user and grass-dev
- Usenet comes up, interfaced with GRASS-MLs
- 1994 (?): Web is invented - First GRASS Web site (CERL) - see GRASS Web site evolution
- 1999: remotesensing.org established, hosting PROJ, GDAL, OSSIM, libgeotiff, ...
- 2000: FreeGIS.org mailing list and portal launched - fundamental for community building
- 200x: Blogs, Wikis, emails (TODO: number of subscribers in all OSGeo lists; only in GRASS lists >4000), Voip, ... communication is easy
