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
