Sydney, Australia. 28 January 2009.

Sponsorship and Exhibition packages are now available to be purchased for the international FOSS4G conference, to be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre from 20-23 October 2009. http://2009.foss4g.org

FOSS4G is the international "gathering of tribes" of open source geospatial communities, where developers and users show off their latest software and projects. The theme for 2009 is "User Driven", highlighting the power of Open Source to integrate with existing systems.

The OGC's Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP) will be launched at FOSS4G and will demonstrate standards based interoperability between Open Source and Proprietary geospatial applications, based on a Climate Change Scenario. The CCIP will be a major draw-card for Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) sponsors looking for standards based spatial solutions. http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

For further details and to discuss the marketing options available, we invite you to contact Kirsty O’Brien, Sponsorship and Exhibition Executive by emailing kobrien@tourhosts.com.au or Tel: +61 2 9265 0776


The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has been created to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial software. The foundation's goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects, data development and education. http://osgeo.org
