Very excited to have Mike Bostock hitting off the conference this year!

Call for Acedemic Papers and Reviewers! Submit by April 15th

The FOSS4G 2014 Academic Track provides a strong basis for collaboration among researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields.

We encourage academic papers describing:

  • the use of open source geospatial software and data, in and for scientific research, as well as
  • academic endeavours to conceptualize, create, assess, and teach open source geospatial software and data.
