AGIT

Due to the current pandemic, AGIT 2020 cannot be held locally. The organizers will hold it virtually instead!

OSGeo/FOSSGIS/OpenStreetMap have also received a sponsored virtual exhibition stand for the virtual conference! (Thank you, AGIT !)

Since it is hardly possible to have a virtual exhibition stand attended by volunteers for 5 days via video link (who have to go to work during the weekdays), we have come up with the following idea:

It’s almost that time again: from July 8-10, 2020, [AGIT] (https://agit.at/), Austria’s largest conference and trade fair on the subject of applied geoinformation, will once again be taking place in Salzburg.

For the OpenStreetMap and OSGeo booth, people are wanted who want to take a look and chat a bit about their hobby. (can also be done on a daily basis)

We are also looking for contributions for OSGeo Day, which can be submitted via the AGIT online portal until 26 February 2020. This short video shows how it works: https://t.co/7d7u4M0q2R?amp=1

The time passed quickly for us and today the AGIT came to an end. Despite a short night, we started the day full of energy and were available to help visitors with our knowledge.

On the last day, some visitors took OSM mugs from us in return for a small donation. We are always pleased when people are willing to support the OSM association in this way. Many thanks to the many donors.

Like yesterday, the weather was fantastically sunny again. I set off for the University of Salzburg shortly before 8 o’clock.

After a short walk, I set about reopening the OSM & OSGeo stand.

There is still a small amount of QGIS Cookies left over from the day before.

After yesterday’s preparation day, we didn’t have much work to do in the morning to get the stand ready for visitors.

This year, Markus came up with something special that was very well received by the visitors:

By the end of the day, almost all 40 cockies had been eaten.
