FW: EGU 2013 Session on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinfo

Friends,

As of now, our TC does not plan to have representation at the EGU as we did last year. Instead, we will be focusing on the ISCRAM where we will have a track and additional visibility. However, if you are interested in the sciences and have the bandwidth this is another opportunity to speak/present on open standards in Europe in April. These two are actually separated by only a weekend and just a few hundred miles apart, so attending both might be of interest.

Cheers,

Elysa

Session abstract

ESSI2.7 - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and Geosciences

Conveners: Peter Löwe, Jens Klump, Alessandro Frigeri and Margherita Di Leo

This session focuses on the growing role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) with a special emphasis on the interoperability among existing and future FOSS-tools within Geoinformatics. The session will be a forum for both the latest advances in FOSS-empowered research and also successful applications of existing FOSS tools for geoscientific tasks.
