FOSS4G 2025/Community sprint
Community Events and Code Sprint
Also this year, after the conference, there will be the OSGeo community sprint.
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – and it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in the community sprint.
When
The community sprint will be held on Saturday 22nd November 2025 and Sunday 23rd November 2025.
- 8:00 - 17:00
Where
The community sprint will be hosted at the Conference Venue at AUT.

Information to come!
Earth Observation Lab Aotearoa Hackathon
A hackathon, using the raw data that is coming down from the TPA-1 satellite(https://www.nanosats.eu/sat/tpa-1) to the UoA Space Institute.
UOA and EOLab are working together to get this data accessible to wider NZ. It is nothing fancy, RGB and fairly low res, needs everything done to it from geo-registration upwards. But could be a cool chance for the community to get a chance to play with raw data that is coming off the first Kiwi built, owned and operated satellite.
