FOSS4G Belgium 2017 - this is not a conference

Call for Maps

As a geospatial conference, maps should certainly be a part of it ! That's why we decided to organise a Map Gallery exhibit : We invite contributions to the FOSS4G Map Gallery in order to create an exciting and vibrant exhibit of the very best in mapping. Contributing to the FOSS4G.be Map Gallery is simple: make a map involving at least open source technology or open data.

Your map can be the result of a commercial venture or a personal challenge. We encourage all attendees to submit their work on paper (A1) or via email (please also add a screenshot). Interactive maps are welcome as well (please provide us with an URL). You will also be asked to provide us with a short description of your map and possibly a brief statement of the methods, software and data you used in your map design and production.

To make it simple, the two criteria's for submitting your work are :


On-Site Submission Guidelines
