12-06, 14:30–15:00 (America/Belem), Room V

FOSSGIS e.V. is already 24 years old and has come a long way. FOSSGIS e.V. is very successful. We want to share how we got to where we are.
We want to share our story with you and inspire you or give you ideas.

What FOSSGIS e.V. does:
- Runs an annual conference FOSSGIS & other smaller events
- Networking between users and companies
- Build a strong & vibrant community
- Stimulate discussion in the working groups
- Have fun - community sprints, mapping parties & hacking weekends
- Supports community and projects
- And even more

It would be great to connect and share with other chapters to spread the FOSS4G idea around the world.
