FOSS4G 2009 Press Release 14

FOSS4G 2009 Call for Abstracts

Sydney, Australia. 25 May 2009.

One week left for presentation abstract submissions!

The Organising Committee would like to remind all interested presenters to submit their abstracts for the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. Abstract submission closes on June 1st 2009.

So, get those abstracts in and secure your presentation slot at the conference. Presentations are open to all those interested and will comprise a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. We are keen to hear about your experiences, both technical and non technical. While the technology is a key part of the conference, in 2009 we are very keen to have a good selection of case studies and business case type presentations. How did you build the business case for FOSS4G and how has the technology made a diefference to your business or organisation?

For more information, visit the FOSS4G site at http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

The deadline for presentation submissions is June 1st 2009. See you in Sydney.
