2019 - FOSS4G Conference (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial), Bucharest, Romania

The FOSS4G 2019 conference, a worldwide open source geospatial foundation (OSGeo) conference focused on Free And Open Source Information, took place in Bucharest, Romania.

Recognized as one of the world's largest geospatial technical conferences in Open Source software, The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) is a meeting of professionals, programmers, simple users and advanced users of geospatial software developed in Open Source. Includes presentations and lectures, with code sprint in neat code and sessions, workshops on all open source geospatial technology.

Founded in 2006, OSGeo is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support the collaborative development of open source geospatial software, and promote its widespread use. The annual conferences originated that year, spreading annually by the different world countries that embraced this idea: 2006 Lausanne (Switzerland), 2007 Victoria (Canada), 2008 Cape Town (South Africa), 2009 Sydney (Australia), 2010 Barcelona (Spain), 2 011 Denver (United States), 2013 Nottingham (United Kingdom), 2014 Portland (United States), 2015 Seoul (South Koreia), 2016 Bonn (Germany), 2017 Boston (United States) , 2018 Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and 2019 Bucharest (Romania).

Participation in the FOSS4G conference in Bucharest provides clear guidance on technical aspects of geospatial software in Open Source and Libraries that can be used in the processing of geographic information, implementations and process optimizations from information acquisition, validation, editing, visualization and printing in the scope of cartography, as well as its subsequent availability of services.
