Cascadoss International Symposium and Workshop, 16th, 2008 - Jun 19th, 2008 in Warsaw, Poland
The international symposium will bring together both professional developers and (potential) customers of GIS/RS Open Source technology and will, as such, stimulate research & innovation and networking in this field. The workshop part targets GIS-experts with a high level of expertise in GIS and/or programming, such as software service providers and IT/GIS-SMEs.
Event organized within the CASCADOSS project.

How GIS Open Source Projects stimulate building of the communities
TBD
- shared infrastrucutre
- community health check in incubation phase
- Through OSGeo foundation projects large, vital communities incorporated into foundation
Resources
- Community based software development: The GRASS GIS project presentation by Markus Neteler,
- Producing Open Source Software book by Karl Fogel
Trends in development of Free and Open Source Software for Geomatics
From Dave Mcllhagga's presentation on FOSS4G 2008:
- value is the solution, not the technology
- solutions drive the technology - not the other way around
- FOSSGIS Business Models
CommercialProprietary GI solutions versus FOSS4G- FOSS4G == commercial
...
Trends:
- The geospatial industry is moving toward Open Standards. Open Standards facilitates:
- Interoperability between agencies which increases availability of data.
- Move to Standards based, Commercial Off The Shelf (SCOTS) software. In turn SCOTS software becomes a commodity item which brings the price of the SCOTS software down.
- Without vendor lock in traps, Open Source successfully competes with proprietary software.

OSGeo Foundation
- Use information collected in the Generic OSGeo Presentation article and Tyler Mitchell's OSGeo presentation from the FOSSG4 2008.
- This is nicest looking one but out of date:
- And there are ones under a few of these folders too: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/community/presentations/ (The Victoria and Osaka ones are probably best)
- Collective Intelligence (crowd-sourcing) and Neo-Geography:
- GIS versus Collective Neo-Geography
- Where 2.0 O'Reilly Conference (http://conferences.oreillynet.com/where2006/)
- GIS is more: data anaylsis!
- Google Earth (GE) as driving factor:
- 100 million people downloaded GE
- Collective sites such as Google Maps Mania (http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/)
- Public participation tools
- Google maps mashup due to public API:
- Social networks
- Events
- Places
- User data:
- Intangible emotional associations to space
- Grass-root street data collection (OSM etc)
- Symbolic locational data
- GIS versus Collective Neo-Geography
