Our road to FOSSGIS 2021: April 2021

Date: 19. April 2021

 

We were all looking forward to this year’s FOSSGIS conference, we had hoped to finally being able to meet up with customers, friends or colleagues again after the many days dominated by the pandemic. But unfortunately, the virus is still there. So, after 2013, FOSSGIS 2021 will not take place again in Rapperswil, Switzerland, instead of this, like so many events these days, it will take place as an online-event, even though Rapperswil remains the official venue. Speaking of Rapperswil: We have very positive memories of exactly this conference: Exactly at that FOSSGIS conference in 2013 a small circle of FOSSGIS activists have born the idea to host FOSS4G 2016. How the story turned out is well known

Nevertheless, FOSSGIS 2021 will not be cancelled, as said, it will take place as an online-event. And we will be back at this year’s FOSSGIS conference with a large number of talks and workshops. Our idea is to provide a slightly deeper insight into one of our talks or workshops in each month leading up to the conference. In that way we want to evoke the anticipation denied by the shift to the internet! We start now in April with an overview of all the talks and events coming from our house:
