Call for Maps!
Represent the beauty of the Pacific Northwest in map form in the Map Gallery. We invite contributions to the FOSS4G Map Gallery to build an exciting and vibrant exhibit of the very best in mapping. This map gallery will not only demonstrate the work of delegates but also act as a reference point for the current state of mapping. We encourage all delegates to share one example of their work and help us create a cartographic record of the FOSS4G 2014 conference. Read the full call for maps [2] and enter your map [3].
Workshops and general sessions program
This year FOSS4G features more than 40 workshops [4], providing excellent training opportunities on relevant, leading technologies — and that’s all before the conference even begins.
