The FOSSGIS conference is the German language sibling of the FOSS4G conferences.

The FOSSGIS has taken place for the sixth time. This event took place in Freiburg, Germany on April 01-03, 2008. This year was probably the last where sponsors and paid-for workshops alone allowed for the main program to be free of cost to attend!
