April 10-14, Grapevine, Texas

OSGeo will have a booth and its own Open Source track throughout this GITA event. http://gita.org/gis/

Background

GITA is hired as the conference managers for FOSS4G 2011 and working with this GITA event gives OSGeo a chance to promote FOSS4G several months in advanced to a community that may be somewhat under-represented in OSGeo that is, the infrastructure/utility organisations.

Event Summary

Copy from the 2010 website:

1. See the most diverse program on the latest geospatial solutions being applied at the most cutting edge infrastructure organizations
2. Walk an exhibit floor that goes beyond technology to show true solutions and ways you can make the most of your existing systems
3. Meet some of the fathers of the geospatial industry who are now putting their pioneering spirit to work with a new generation of geospatial leaders

If you are planning to be at this event and are able to lend a hand with the booth or interested in presenting in our track, please put your name and interest/availability here:

• Tyler Mitchell: Coordinating the event from OSGeo's side
• Peter Batty: already planning to be at show. Available for presentation if needed. My company will have a booth so limited ability to spend time on OSGeo booth, but maybe a little. Definitely up for spreading the word about FOSS4G!
• Robert Hollingsworth: definitely will be there. Been there a number of times before. 4-hr drive from here. Interested in being Booth Presence. Will consider presentation possibilities. Would love to see FOSS4g crack the utilities/telecom market.
