>    Barcelona (Spain) selected to host the 2010 international
>    conference for "Free & Open Source Software for  GeoSpatial" (FOSS4G).
>
> The OSGeo Foundation has selected Barcelona for the location of the
> FOSS4G 2010 conference, to take place in September.
>
> FOSS4G is the premier international event organized around Free and
> Open Source Software for Geospatial. The selection of Barcelona  brings
> the conference back to Europe, providing an ideal central  location for
> experienced users and core developers to meet and share  experiences.
> It is also the single best annual conference to dive in  to the Open
> Source geospatial world, with introductory workshops,  case studies of
> successful implementations, and numerous  opportunities for meeting
> others who have leveraged FOSS to solve  their problems.
>
> The Spanish language chapter of OSGeo is pleased to be selected to
> host FOSS4G 2010. Geospatial Free and Open Source Software has great
> institutional support in Spain. Government administrations like
> Extremadura, Andalucia and Comunidad Valencia are investing heavily  in
> building software that meets their needs. The official language of  the
> conference will be English, but the Spanish speaking community  will
> have numerous opportunities to participate in their native  language.
>
> In addition to software, the conference will also touch on a variety
> of related topics such as open data, open standards and the INSPIRE
> directive. To receive additional information about the conference go to:

> *About FOSS4G*
>
> FOSS4G is the annual international conference on Open Source
> geospatial software. From its beginning the FOSS4G conference has  been
> the gathering of the spatial tribes and has a reputation of  being a
> melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a  catalyst for
> many successful geospatial products, standards and  protocols. The 2008
> conference was held in Cape Town, South Africa  and was a huge
> success[2]. The 2009 conference will be held in  Sydney, Australia[3].
> FOSS4G 2010 Barcelona will be the eighth  "formal" gathering of the
> Open Source geospatial community. 2010 will  be a key year for Europe,
> with the INSPIRE initiative, and FOSS4G  will be the best place to see
> the Free Software way to make an SDI work.
