As a number of private replies question me about the CEE definition, I'd
like to bring some clarifications. Geographically speaking, yes, Germany
and Austria are definitively in Central Europe. Though, I did prefer to
go with this definition [1] for a couple of reasons:
1. The level of FOSS4G penetration is more or less the same in the
selected countries. A country like Germany will totally unbalance the
analysis.
2. There is already a quite successful FOSS4G event for the German
speaking people (FOSSGIS).
Hope this clarifies a bit my position.
Best,
Vasile

Dear all,
For the FOSS4G-CEE conference I'm preparing a talk entitled "State of
FOSS4G in Central & Eastern Europe". By "Central & Eastern Europe" I
mean the following countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, Bulgaria,
Romania, Ukraine and Rep. of Moldova.
I'm interested in three FOSS4G aspects:
1. Software projects started in this region (or with an very important
contribution from developers in this region);
2. National or regional projects implemented using FOSS4G software;
3. Open geospatial data initiatives.
I'd like to think that I know the most important projects of this kind.
I also did a little bit of research over the Internet. Anyway, any
information of this topics is greatly appreciated.
I hope to see as many as you possible in ten days from now in Prague!
Best,
Vasile
