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
- National FOSS4G corporations:
- 2000: GRASS Anwendervereinigung e.V. - 2008: becoming OSGeo-DACH?
- 2007: Associazione italiana per l'informazione geografica libera
- 2007: many OSGeo local chapters
- Conferences:
- Many GRASS conferences since 80s in USA and Europe, drop in 1995, in Asia Bangkok 2004
- Mapserver conference 2005
- Lausanne 2006: Merge of Mapserver, GRASS, EOGEO conferences to FOSS4G conference series, then Canada 2007, now South Africa 2008, next Sydney 2009, ...
- Annual national conferences:
- in Italy annual conf since 1999 (first GRASS, now GFOSS.it)
- in Germany annual conf since 2005 (first Mapserver, now FOSSGIS.de)
- in Spain: gvSIG conf since 2007 (?)
- Communication technology:
- FOSS4G Release Management and Quality Assessment Trends:
- Code Management
- 80's: GRASS source code is managed manually by the core developers (hey, no civil internet yet!)
- 12/1999: one day before Year 2000, GRASS CVS is started (GDAL, Mapserver - no idea)
- 2007: integrated OSGeo development platform: SVN, trac, wiki, mailing lists, IRC bots, buildbots
- Release Management
- till 2006 (?): separated, ad-hoc releases by the individual teams
- since 2006: attempts to synchronize releases for common feature support etc.
- since 200x: thorough test cycles with alpha, beta, release candidates (milestones in trac)
- cross platform tests before releasing (code becomes portable: Linux, MacOSX, MS-Windows, ...)
- aim: deliver end user product (also requested by now large user communities and distro packagers)
- Quality Assessment:
- Implementation of Code submission standards for C, Shell scripts, Tcl/Tk, and Python
- 2006: GRASS Code Quality Control System started (currently under rewrite to open up for other OSGeo projects)
- various scientific papers on this
- supports clone detection and software engineering measures on code style
- Code Management
- FOSS4G Documentation Trends:
- 80's started with tutorials
- 2002: Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach - first FOSS4G book ever
- 2004 (?): first FOSS4G Wikis come up
- 2006: OSGeo Education and Curriculum Committee is formed
- 2007: FOSS4G primer and other book-like initiatives
- 2008: Many FOSS4G books now available: bookshelf
- FOSS4G Business Trends:
- OSGeo Service Providers directory (almost 100 registered)
- TODO: check covered countries, statistics per continent
- TODO: check public tenders for open source, anyone having stats?
- FOSS4G business model - [:Category:Advocacy|Category:Advocacy]
- Provide commercial training directly as OSGeo brand? - ongoing discussion...

- Use information collected in the Generic OSGeo Presentation article and Tyler Mitchell's OSGeo presentation from the FOSS4G 2007.
- This is nicest looking one but out of date:
- And there are ones under a few of these folders too: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/community/presentations/ (The Victoria and Osaka ones are probably best)
- Collective Intelligence (crowd-sourcing) and Neo-Geography:
- GIS versus Collective Neo-Geography
- Where 2.0 O'Reilly Conference (http://conferences.oreillynet.com/where2006/)

- Google Earth (GE) as driving factor:
- 100 million people downloaded GE
- Collective sites such as Google Maps Mania (http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/)
- Public participation tools
- Google maps mashup due to public API:
- Social networks
- Events
- Places
