''This is an informal wiki page which should be enriched by board and charter members. Its main goal is to provide some guidelines to newly elected charter members about their duties. Some do's and don'ts could first be added, and such a list could then tend to become official guidelines, through a more formal process.''

== Participate in Elections ==

Charter members' main role is to participate in OSGeo elections. They must:

* Vote for the annual new charter members elections every year
* Vote for the board members elections every year

== So, What else? ==

* Promote OSGeo through the use of FOSS4G tools
* Register as an OSGeo Member [https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/ See Getting Started]
* Take active part in [https://www.osgeo.org/about/faq/osgeo-mailing-lists/ OSGeo Mailing Lists]
* Hack the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Main_Page OSGeo Wiki]
* Help build a stronger OSGeo community through interactions with academia, businesses and research organizations
* Help organize workshops, trainings, conferences related to FOSS4G

Wiki-Johanvdw: /* Registered Attendees */

== Code Sprint ==

This year, we are following the OSGeo tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019].

Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.

You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

=== When ===
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 31 2019.

=== Where ===

University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography (Bucharest, Romania)
* Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1, Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1
* https://en.unibuc.ro/academic-programmes/faculties/faculty-of-geography/

== Registered Attendees ==
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning

= Call for voting members =

You want to promote open source software for Geospatial and be part of a great team ? 
You want to invest your time and your know-how to help OSGeo.be ? 
If yes, you should definitely become a charter member of our association ! 
To apply, send us an email (via board [at] foss4g.be or ) and mention the 2 persons who want to second your nomination before March 20, 2018.
The election of the new board will take place on March 26 during the General Assembly. 
We'll be happy to welcome you in the team ! 

= Call for board members =
We invite you to think about the possibility of being candidate for one of the following positions: 
* President 
* Treasurer

* carry out its projects 
Regular monitoring is more needed than a significant amount of time. 
The board must officially manage the association which relies on the community.

Simultaneously with the [https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/ FOSSGIS Conference 2018 in Bonn] an international code sprint of the OSGeo will take place from 19 to 25 March 2018.
We expect about 80 developers from all over the world to come from various [https://www.osgeo.org/] projects. Whether desktop application, geospatial library, metadata catalog or web mapping: be sure to find products in the list that you use. Thus, the Code Sprint is also an opportunity for your developers to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software and participate in the development.

The code sprint will take place at [http://www.basecamp-bonn.de/ BaseCamp] in Bonn. During the [http://www.foss4g2016.org/home.html FOSS4G 2016] in Bonn we have already organized a code sprint at this location, in which about 100 developers worked on the open source projects every day. (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint)

In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure, the cost of food and drinks for the developers is the main cost. A buffet at lunchtime and drinks during the whole day are intended.

So far, the code sprint is already sponsored by [https://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] and [https://www.fossgis.de/ FOSSGIS e. V.].

In order to cover the costs, we would be very pleased about further sponsors!

What we offer:
* Your logo on top of the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/osgeo-code-sprint-2018/ websites of the Code Sprint] [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Code_Sprint_2018 1] as well as on all official documents around the Code Sprint
* Mention in all code sprint related mails
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)

Our sponsorship levels:
* Gold: >= 2500 USD
* Silver: 1500 USD
* Bronze: 750 USD

So...
* get your company talking to the top developers of the scene!
* enable your GIS developers to take advantage of this opportunity, there is no better opportunity to learn!
* support the software you use - you benefit immediately.

Thank you very much!

= About OSGeo Belgium =
Welcome to the wiki page of the Belgium OSGeo chapter.

== Mission and objectives ==

After discussion amongst the active local chapter members we come to the
following list of mission objectives:

* Community-building and networking around specific Belgian themes and within Belgian fora.

* Organisation of events
: These two mission statements are working together. We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.

* Lobbying
: We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).

* Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)
: OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.
: We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.

* Support to higher levels of OSGeo
: We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.

* Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)

== Communication ==

Discussions are held on the dedicated [http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/belgium mailing list].
Next to the mailinglist there is a (board) meeting planned monthly, most of them trough digital communication. The meeting minutes can be found on this page.

== History of OSGeo Belgium ==

During the last FOSDEM [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1488 Geospatial devroom] OSGeo was represented. It
was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and
start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in
Belgium can be better supported. Belgium is, as a country divided in at
least 3 speaking languages and 3 official languages. The active OSGeo
community members today are either active in the [http://osgeo.nl/ OSGeo.nl], the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Francophone OSGeo.fr]
or in several OSGeo communities.

However, OSGeo-nl and OSGeo-fr are language-oriented communities with
their geographical weight centred in respectively the Netherlands and
France, and the separation by language has impeded on any specific
Belgian activities, notably networking and lobbying with administrations
that are bilingual on some levels of governance. Thus the need arose to
provide a specific Belgian forum.

In the past there where already some OSGeo local activities:
* [http://www.geomajas.org/osgeogent2013 OSGeoGhent] - 13 June 2013
* [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSDEM2014 FOSDEM2014] - booth 1 & 2 Februari 2014
* [http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/ Be-OpenGIS-Fr] - 6 November 2014
* [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1488 FOSDEM2015]- devroom - 31 Jan; 1 Februari 201

In 2015 we (OSGeoBE) organised the first [[Belgium/FOSS4G]]
on 29 October 2015 in Brussels. This event was used to announce
the birth of our Chapter.

OSGeo.be will be organising their first GeoDevEvening. The theme will be webmapping and especially Openlayers 3. There will be two speakers, Pierre Marchand of Atelier Cartographique wil give an overview of Webmapping tools. Later we will take a deeper dive with Thomas Gratier, one of the authors of the OpenLayers 3 Beginners guide.

OpenLayers 3 is a JavaScript based library for web mapping, published under BSD license. It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.

The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00. The event is free. You can register here.

All other costs - food, outings and entertainment - should/will be covered by the sponsors

== Financial ==

'''Detailed budget'''
* [[Bonn_Code_Sprint_2018_:_Budget|Budget]]

== Individual preparation ==

* Bring your own laptop
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] if needed (photo: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Schuko_plug_and_socket.png Germany]). See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/
* Install GIT and compiler tools, and come with a working development environment

== Sponsoring ==

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Open Source GIS software.
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).

Simultaneously with the [https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/ FOSSGIS Conference 2018 in Bonn] an international code sprint of the OSGeo will take place from 19 to 25 March 2018.
We expect about 80 developers from all over the world to come from various [http://www.osgeo.org/] projects. Whether desktop application, geospatial library, metadata catalog or web mapping: be sure to find products in the list that you use. Thus, the Code Sprint is also an opportunity for your developers to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software and participate in the development.

The code sprint will take place at [http://www.basecamp-bonn.de/ BaseCamp] in Bonn. During the [http://www.foss4g2016.org/home.html FOSS4G 2016] in Bonn we have already organized a code sprint at this location, in which about 100 developers worked on the open source projects every day. (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint)

In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure, the cost of food and drinks for the developers is the main cost. A buffet at lunchtime and drinks during the whole day are intended.

So far, the code sprint is already sponsored by [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] and [https://www.fossgis.de/ FOSSGIS e. V.].

In order to cover the costs, we would be very pleased about further sponsors!

What we offer:
* Your logo on top of the [http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/events/osgeo-code-sprint-2018/ websites of the Code Sprint] [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Code_Sprint_2018 1] as well as on all official documents around the Code Sprint
* Mention in all code sprint related mails
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)

Our sponsorship levels:
* Gold: >= 2500 USD
* Silver: 1500 USD
* Bronze: 750 USD

So...
* get your company talking to the top developers of the scene!
* enable your GIS developers to take advantage of this opportunity, there is no better opportunity to learn!
* support the software you use - you benefit immediately.

Thank you very much!

Contact: To sponsor, please contact codesprint@osgeo.org directly.

= About OSGeo Belgium =
Welcome to the wiki page of the Belgium OSGeo chapter.

== Mission and objectives ==

After discussion amongst the active local chapter members we come to the
following list of mission objectives:

* Community-building and networking around specific Belgian themes and within Belgian fora.

* Organisation of events
: These two mission statements are working together. We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.

* Lobbying
: We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).

* Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)
: OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.
: We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.

* Support to higher levels of OSGeo
: We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.

* Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)

During its founding process, the Belgium OSGeo Chapter had the support of the following persons (alphabetic - first name):
* Ben Abelhausen - liason with OSM - Belgium community
* Pieter Colpaert - link with the open knowledge foundation
* Ruben Capelle

== Communication ==

Discussions are held on the dedicated [http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/belgium mailing list].
Next to the mailinglist there is a (board) meeting planned monthly, most of them trough digital communication. The meeting minutes can be found on this page.

== History of OSGeo Belgium ==

During the last FOSDEM [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1488 Geospatial devroom] OSGeo was represented. It
was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and
start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in
Belgium can be better supported. Belgium is, as a country divided in at
least 3 speaking languages and 3 official languages. The active OSGeo
community members today are either active in the [http://osgeo.nl/ OSGeo.nl], the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Francophone OSGeo.fr]
or in several OSGeo communities.

However, OSGeo-nl and OSGeo-fr are language-oriented communities with
their geographical weight centred in respectively the Netherlands and
France, and the separation by language has impeded on any specific
Belgian activities, notably networking and lobbying with administrations
that are bilingual on some levels of governance. Thus the need arose to
provide a specific Belgian forum.

In the past there where already some OSGeo local activities:
* [http://www.geomajas.org/osgeogent2013 OSGeoGhent] - 13 June 2013
* [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSDEM2014 FOSDEM2014] - booth 1 & 2 Februari 2014
* [http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/ Be-OpenGIS-Fr] - 6 November 2014
* [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1488 FOSDEM2015]- devroom - 31 Jan; 1 Februari 201

In 2015 we (OSGeoBE) organised the first [[Belgium/FOSS4G]]
on 29 October 2015 in Brussels. This event was used to announce
the birth of our Chapter.

There will be two speakers, Pierre Marchand of Atelier Cartographique wil give an overview of Webmapping tools. Later we will take a deeper dive with Thomas Gratier, one of the authors of the OpenLayers 3 Beginners guide.

OpenLayers 3 is a JavaScript based library for web mapping, published under BSD license. It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.

The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00. The event is free. You can register here.

== FOSS4G Belgium 2017 ==

>>>'''[http://2017.foss4g.be/submit-paper.php Stuur je inzending hier]''' <<<

Na succesvolle edities in [http://2015.foss4g.be 2015] en [http://2016.foss4g.be 2016] , organiseert OSGeo.be een nieuwe editie van deze [http://2017.foss4g.be FOSS4G.BE] conferentie op '''donderdag 26 oktober 2017''' in Brussel.

FOSS4G conferenties brengen ontwikkelaars en gebruikers van open source geomatica software uit de hele wereld samen, om nieuwe richtingen, sprekende implementaties en groeiende zakelijke kansen in het gebied te bespreken. De afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veranderingen in de geo-ict sector gezien. Een van deze veranderingen is de toenemende volwassenheid van open source oplossingen en hun implementatie. Vaak gebruiken organisaties een combinatie van open source en eigen oplossingen.

'''Momenteel zijn we op zoek naar bijdragen voor dit tweede Belgische FOSS4G.'''

== Beoogde doelgroep ==
Het doel van de conferentie is om een breed publiek te bereiken, zo’n 300 deelnemers.
De conferentie zal onder meer plenaire zittingen omvatten, waarbij een keynote spreker zal uitgenodigd worden. Eén van de belangrijkste sessies zal de focus leggen op use cases, maar ook tal van parallelle sessies zullen gepresenteerd worden zowel voor ontwikkelaars als gebruikers. Dit jaar voorzien we specifieke sessies over OpenStreetMap en Open source in Geo onderwijs.

De presentaties en discussies zullen in het Engels zijn, het Nederlands en het Frans (simultane vertaling in de plenaire sessie).
Meer informatie kan u lezen op de [http://2017.foss4g.be/ website].

== Datum en locatie ==
Het evenement zal plaatsvinden op 26 oktober 2017 in Brussel.

== Onderwerpen & Workshops: Hulpmiddelen • Doelen• Toepassingen==

* Foss4G software: Wat zijn de huidige mogelijkheden voor de opslag, analyse en visualisatie van ruimtelijke data? Hoe kan je met succes Open Source gebruiken om software aan te passen aan je behoeften?
* Doelen: Hoe kan OSGeo in jouw organisatie gebruikt worden? Hoe kan een effectieve Open Source oplossing gebouwd worden? Hoe kan er tussen verschillende oplossingen gekozen worden?
* Toepassingen: Welke open source GIS programma's worden uitgerold en gebruikt door administraties, bedrijven, onderwijs en onderzoek? Hoe zit het met infrastructuur voor INSPIRE, klimaatsverandering en smart cities? Wat zijn problemen en mogelijkheden die U bent tegengekomen tijdens de migratie/het samenwerken met proprietary software?

== Speciale onderwerpen ==
Dit jaar zal FOSS4G België twee speciale tracks hebben:

* OpenStreetMap track
# Talk about OpenStreetMap data, community, new tools for mappers or map users
# Workshop
# Round table about tagging discussions, improve documentation, collect real life data etc.
* Free Open Source Software in Geo Education
# Overview of Free Software in the academic and in the research environment with data from a survey on what is existing in the global context in Belgium Universities (status – inventory)
# Talk about Geo4all (http://www.geoforall.org/) & OSGeo-Live (https://live.osgeo.org/fr/ - overview of FOSStools & demos)
# Round table about experiences we had with training and teaching FOSS4G : moving to FOSS, what we have as new open data, new FOSS tools, what are the needs for education to developers, what are the resources we have (which materials already exist and how to enhance new material using FOSS in the existing flow)

== Vorm van de presentaties ==

* Presentaties kunnen gebeuren in het Engels of in het Nederlands en het Frans. In de plenaire sessie wordt een simultane vertaling voorzien tussen beide landstalen.
* Elke presentatie duurt 20 minuten met 5 minuten voor vragen/discussie.
* Inzendingen kunnen in het Engels, Frans of Nederlands verstuurd worden.

== Insturen ==
Samenvattingen van je presentatie kunnen met[http://2017.foss4g.be/submit-paper.php dit formulier] verstuurd worden:
* Je naam en voornaam
* Een contactemailadres
* Je organisatie en/of werkgever
* De titel van je presentatie
* Een korte samenvatting

== Deadline ==

De deadline voor het insturen van voorstellen is *4 september* maar we nodigen iedereen graag uit zo snel mogelijk een titel in te sturen.
De Abstracts zullen door een programmacommitte besproken worden en auteurs zullen begin augustus een bericht ontvangen of ze al dan niet aanvaard zijn.

Alle presentaties zullen op de website beschikbaar zijn.

== Evaluatiecriteria ==

De keuze van presentaties zal gebaseerd zijn op de kwaliteit van de ingestuurde presentaties, de relevantie voor de bezoekers en de samenhang van het programma.
De beslissing van het selectiecommitee is bindend. Leden van het committee spreken uit eigen naam, hun keuzes weerspiegelen niet de mening van hun respectievelijke werkgevers.

De coördinatoren van het programma zijn Johan Van de Wauw (NL) en Gaël Kruwialis (FR).
Moesten er nog onduidelijkheden zijn: stuur ons gerust een e-mail ('''presentation@foss4g.be''').

== FOSS4G Belgium 2017 ==

Na succesvolle edities in [http://2015.foss4g.be 2015] en [http://2016.foss4g.be 2016] , organiseert OSGeo.be een nieuwe editie van deze [http://2016.foss4g.be FOSS4G.BE] conferentie op '''donderdag 26 oktober 2017'''in Brussel.

FOSS4G conferenties brengen ontwikkelaars en gebruikers van open source geomatica software uit de hele wereld samen, om nieuwe richtingen, sprekende implementaties en groeiende zakelijke kansen in het gebied te bespreken. De afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veranderingen in de geo-ict sector gezien. Een van deze veranderingen is de toenemende volwassenheid van open source oplossingen en hun implementatie. Vaak gebruiken organisaties een combinatie van open source en eigen oplossingen.

'''Momenteel zijn we op zoek naar bijdragen voor dit tweede Belgische FOSS4G.'''

== Beoogde doelgroep ==
Het doel van de conferentie is om een breed publiek te bereiken, zo’n 300 deelnemers.
De conferentie zal onder meer plenaire zittingen omvatten, waarbij een keynote spreker zal uitgenodigd worden. Eén van de belangrijkste sessies zal de focus leggen op use cases, maar ook tal van parallelle sessies zullen gepresenteerd worden zowel voor ontwikkelaars als gebruikers. Dit jaar voorzien we specifieke sessies over OpenStreetMap en Open source in Geo onderwijs.

De presentaties en discussies zullen in het Engels zijn, het Nederlands en het Frans (simultane vertaling in de plenaire sessie).
Meer informatie kan u lezen op de [http://2017.foss4g.be/ website].

FOSS4G-BE 2016 Call for Papers/nl

2016-06-13T19:23:59Z

Wiki-Johanvdw: /* Onderwerpen & Workshops: Hulpmiddelen • Doelen• Toepassingen */

== FOSS4G Belgium 2016 ==

Na de eerste geslaagde editie van het [http://2015.foss4g.be Belgisch FOSS4G event in 2015], organiseert OSGeo.be een nieuwe editie van deze FOSS4G.BE conferentie op donderdag 22 september 2016.

FOSS4G conferenties brengen ontwikkelaars en gebruikers (zowel managers als beslissers) van open source geomatica software uit de hele wereld samen, om nieuwe richtingen, sprekende implementaties en groeiende zakelijke kansen in het gebied te bespreken. De afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veranderingen in de geo-ict sector gezien. Een van deze veranderingen is de toenemende volwassenheid van open source oplossingen en hun implementatie. Vaak gebruiken organisaties een combinatie van open source en eigen oplossingen.

'''Momenteel zijn we op zoek naar bijdragen voor dit tweede Belgische FOSS4G.'''

== Beoogde doelgroep ==
Het doel van de conferentie is om een breed publiek te bereiken, zo’n 300 deelnemers.
De conferentie zal onder meer plenaire zittingen omvatten, waarbij een keynote spreker zal uitgenodigd worden. Eén van de belangrijkste sessies zal de focus leggen op use cases, maar ook tal van parallelle sessies zullen gepresenteerd worden zowel voor ontwikkelaars als gebruikers.

De presentaties en discussies zullen in het Engels zijn, het Nederlands en het Frans (simultane vertaling in de plenaire sessie).
Meer informatie kan u lezen op de [http://2016.foss4g.be/ website].

== Datum en locatie ==
Het evenement zal plaatsvinden op 29 oktober 2015 in [http://bel.brussels/ het mooie nieuwe congrescentrum] van het [http://www.environnement.brussels/ agentschap Leefmilieu en Energie Brussel]

== Onderwerpen & Workshops: Hulpmiddelen • Doelen• Toepassingen==

* Foss4G software: Wat zijn de huidige mogelijkheden voor de opslag, analyse en visualisatie van ruimtelijke data? Hoe kan je met succes Open Source gebruiken om software aan te passen aan je behoeften?
* Doelen: Hoe kan OSGeo in jouw organisatie gebruikt worden? Hoe kan een effectieve Open Source oplossing gebouwd worden? Hoe kan er tussen verschillende oplossingen gekozen worden?
* Toepassingen: Welke open source GIS programma's worden uitgerold en gebruikt door administraties, bedrijven, onderwijs en onderzoek? Hoe zit het met infrastructuur voor INSPIRE, klimaatsverandering en smart cities? Wat zijn problemen en mogelijkheden die U bent tegengekomen tijdens de migratie/het samenwerken met proprietary software?

== Vorm van de presentaties ==

* Presentaties kunnen gebeuren in het Engels of in het Nederlands en het Frans. In de plenaire sessie wordt een simultane vertaling voorzien tussen beide landstalen.
* Elke presentatie duurt 20 minuten met 5 minuten voor vragen/discussie.
* Inzendingen kunnen in het Engels, Frans of Nederlands verstuurd worden.

== Insturen ==

Samenvattingen moeten via e-mail naar het volgende adres verstuurd worden '''presentation@foss4g.be'''
Noteer ook volgende zaken:
* Je naam en voornaam
* Een contactemailadres
* Je organisatie en/of werkgever
* De titel van je presentatie
* Een korte samenvatting

== Deadline ==

De deadline voor het insturen van voorstellen is *24 juni* maar we nodigen iedereen graag uit zo snel mogelijk een titel in te sturen.
De Abstracts zullen door een programmacommitte besproken worden en auteurs zullen in de eerste week van juli een bericht ontvangen of ze al dan niet aanvaard zijn.

Alle presentaties zullen op de website beschikbaar zijn.

== Evaluatiecriteria ==

De keuze van presentaties zal gebaseerd zijn op de kwaliteit van de ingestuurde presentaties, de relevantie voor de bezoekers en de samenhang van het programma.
De beslissing van het selectiecommitee is bindend. Leden van het committee spreken uit eigen naam, hun keuzes weerspiegelen niet de mening van hun respectievelijke werkgevers.

De coördinatoren van het programma zijn Johan Van de Wauw (NL) en Gaël Kruwialis (FR).

== FOSS4G Belgium 2016 ==

After the very succesful [http://2015.foss4g.be FOSS4G Belgium event in 2015], OSGeo.be will organise another edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday 22 September 2016.

FOSS4G conferences gather developers and users of Open Source geospatial software as well as managers and decision-makers from around the world to discuss new directions, exciting implementations, and growing business opportunities in this domain. Recent years have seen substantial changes in the geospatial industry. One of those changes has been the growth in maturity and adoption of Free and Open Source solutions. In many cases organizations are using a mixture of open and closed source solutions. 

We will share knowledge and experiences during the whole event through presentations and demonstrations with 25 minutes each at most. 
'''We are looking for contributors who want to support this event.'''

== Target Audience and Structure of the Event ==

The goal of the conference is to target a broad audience of at least 300 participants.

There will be plenary sessions with a high-level keynote speaker (tbd), a main track with presentations of use cases, one side track targeting IT-officers and covering the practicalities of the use of FOSS4G in institutional settings, and a second side track targeting developers of FOSS4G.

Presentations and debates with be both in English and in the major official languages of Belgium: Dutch and French.

See the [http://2016.foss4g.be/ event web page] for more information.

== Date and Venue ==

The event will take place on '''September 22, 2016''' in the [http://bel.brussels/ beautiful new conference facilities] of the [http://www.environnement.brussels/ Environment and
Energy Agency] of the Brussels Capital Region which supports the event by providing the location.

== Topics & Debates : Tools • Goals • Applications ==

* Foss4G’s Tools: What are the current offers for storage, treatment and web distribution of spatial data? How do Open Source tools allow you to successfully personalize software for your needs?
* Goals: How can OSGeo help you in your organization? How to build an effective Open Source solution? How to choose between different solutions?
* Applications: Which Open Geomatics tools are deployed and used by administrations, companies, teachers and researchers? What about INSPIRE infrastructures, climate change and smart cities? What are the problems and opportunities that you encountered during migration of commercial software to Open Source software?

== Format of presentations ==

* Presentation will take place both in English and in the major official languages of Belgium: Dutch and French.
* Each individual presentation will be allowed about 20 minutes and 5 minutes for Q&A.

== FOSS4G Belgium 2016 ==

Na de eerste geslaagde editie van het [http://2015.foss4g.be Belgisch FOSS4G event in 2015], organiseert OSGeo.be een nieuwe editie van deze FOSS4G.BE conferentie op donderdag 22 september 2016.

FOSS4G conferenties brengen ontwikkelaars en gebruikers (zowel managers als beslissers) van open source geomatica software uit de hele wereld samen, om nieuwe richtingen, sprekende implementaties en groeiende zakelijke kansen in het gebied te bespreken. De afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veranderingen in de geo-ict sector gezien. Een van deze veranderingen is de toenemende volwassenheid van open source oplossingen en hun implementatie. Vaak gebruiken organisaties een combinatie van open source en eigen oplossingen.
'''Momenteel zijn we op zoek naar sponsors voor dit tweede Belgische FOSS4G.'''

== Beoogde doelgroep ==
Het doel van de conferentie is om een breed publiek te bereiken, zo’n 300 deelnemers.
De conferentie zal onder meer plenaire zittingen omvatten, waarbij een keynote spreker zal uitgenodigd worden. Eén van de belangrijkste sessies zal de focus leggen op use cases, maar ook tal van parallelle sessies zullen gepresenteerd worden die de bijzonderheden van het gebruik van open-source-oplossingen in geomatica in organisaties toelichten.
De presentaties en discussies zullen in het Engels zijn, het Nederlands en het Frans.
