DESCRIPTION:The FOSS4G Observatory is an initiative that started 10 years a
 go in quite a different world.\nIn 2016\, we were setting out to better un
 derstand what are the open source solutions in the geospatial realm\, foll
 owing the technological progress to answer the intimidating challenges on 
 the horizon. Stable and operational stacks for serving impossible amounts 
 of satellite data to thousands of users simultaneously\, allowing complex 
 processing and fast visualisations\, integration of numerous types of data
  and state of the art cartographic digital representations become vital. \
 nYears have passed and the FOSS4G observatory increased\, following the va
 st and fast expansion of the FOSS4G ecosystem\, documenting almost 600 ope
 n source projects and providing the international community (not only the 
 geospatial one) a service that would allow a better\, clearer understandin
 g of the open source software available for a specific task\, its licenses
 \, standard compliances\, dependencies\, allowing objective comparisons ba
 sed on git-related information\, and more. \nToday\, our world is quite di
 fferent than the one a decade ago. Challenges\, of all kinds have signific
 antly increased\, but so did the potential of tools and data to answer the
 m. \nIn this talk\, the presenter will walk you through the vastness of th
 e FOSS4G ecosystem\, seen though the objective view of the Observatory\, d
 escribing the various indicators and providing a potential answer on why a
 nd how the open source model has contributed to the development of geospat
 ial technologies underpinning major European initiatives\, such as INSPIRE
  or the Copernicus Program.
