11-20, 09:55–10:00 (Pacific/Auckland), WG403
This talk highlights the diversity of our global community and showcases tools and contributors not otherwise featured at FOSS4G 2025.
FOSS4G is a space where collaboration and innovation converge. But with so many incredible projects, many of them volunteer run, not every maintainer can make it to our global event. In this talk, I’ll take you on a fast-paced, tour of some of the most interesting, impactful, and lesser-known open source geospatial projects that haven’t otherwise found representation at FOSS4G 2025.
Hamish is a software engineering manager who’s been working in and around geospatial tech for over 15 years. He’s been a committed contributor to open source software and chaired the FOSS4G Oceania committee that brought the regional conference to New Zealand in 2023. He recently started a new role as Head of Engineering for Urban Intelligence - building software for resilient communities in the face of a changing environment.
