-- OGRS2009 : pre-program is available & registration is open First International Opensource Geospatial Research Symposium 2009 Dates & place: July 8th to 10th, 2009, Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France) Website: http://www.ogrs2009.org -- First international Open source Geospatial Research Symposium (OGRS2009), that will be in Nantes, France 8-10 July, 2009, is now open for registration and the pre-progam is available. See http://www.ogrs2009.org During the tenth edition of Libre Software Meeting (RMLL - http://www.rmll.info), the Research Institute on Urban Sciences and Techniques (IRSTV) in partnership with the University Of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland, Prefecture and Council of Region Pays de La Loire will organize a Research and Innovation Symposium about free and open source geospatial methods and technologies. Main goals of this symposium are : * to build a panel of new scientific works built on open source models or using open source tools * to build and discuss a scientific framework about open source technology usage (benefits and limitations) * to provide a platform to network and develop ideas for future collaborative works between the academic research world and the everyday operational world (companies, local authorities ...) The symposium is composed of scientific presentations, companies and authority testimonies (showcases) and training sessions (labs). Thus, we invite you to go to http://www.ogrs2009.org where you will find : * a pre-program containing talks from 3 keynote speakers, 20 scientific talks, 14 showcases and 12 lab sessions * a registration form to fill in so as to attend to this unique event : fees are about 50€, one price for one, two or three days including an access badge to attend all presentations and labs, a conference bag, proceedings, coffee breaks and lunch for each day.

Sydney, Australia. 25 May 2009. The Academic community and FOSS4G organising committee are pleased to add an academic track to the FOSS4G conference, and remind interested presenters that there are only two weeks left for FOSS4G abstract submissions! Abstract submission closes 8 June 2009. (Note the deadline has been extended a week.) http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/. The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), is being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. http://2009.foss4g.org. The academic track will act as an inventory of current research topics and promote cooperative research between OSGeo developers and the academia. The academic track is the right forum to highlight the most important research challenges and trends in the domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo research agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. It aims to promote networking between participants, initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, exchange research ideas and promote international collaboration. All submissions to the academic track must be original unpublished work written in English that is currently not under review elsewhere. The submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by two to three members of the international scientific committee and refereed for their quality, originality and relevance. For further information, please read the full call for research papers. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Call4papers. Submit your Abstracts now Only two weeks to submit your abstracts and secure your presentation slot. Presentations are open to all and comprises a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. We are keen to hear about your experiences, both technical and non technical. While the technology is a key part of the conference, in 2009 we are very keen to have a good selection of case studies and business case type presentations.
