From March 20 to March 23, 2024, the [largest German-language conference for open source software for geoinformation and OpenStreetMap] (https://fossgis-konferenz.de/2024/callforpapers/) will take place again (“FOSSGIS”). This time the venue is the Technical University of Hamburg.

The local chapter will also be represented at this year’s GISalzburg (Tue 04.07.2023 - Thu 06.07.2023), Austria’s trade fair and conference on applied geoinformation in Salzburg, with a stand sponsored by the organizers and accommodation and travel costs sponsored by FOSSGIS e.V! In addition to OpenStreetMap, we are helping out in the FOSSGIS and OSGeo area with exhibition material provided by FOSSGIS e.V.

On June 3-4, 2023, the Maker Faire, the trade fair for DIYers and tinkerers, took place in the MetaCity in Vienna. We were also there as the Austrian LocalChapter!

We had a great stand on the upper floor, and its positioning on a corner allowed us to set up a monitor on each side of the table at the same time, where we could introduce interested visitors to the world of OpenStreetMap - and there were quite a few of them over the two days! Three of us, geologist, ScubbX and Skunk, manned the OSM info table and hardly had a moment to ourselves.
