-FOSS4G, Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial, is the international gathering of Open Source, geospatial tribes.  The spatial industry is undergoing rapid innovations and the Open Source spatial community is one of the forces driving the change. From its beginnings the FOSS4G conference has been the gathering of the spatial tribes and has a reputation of being a melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a catalyst for many successful geospatial products, standards and protocols. Look for the next FOSS4G 2014 to be held in Portland, Oregon, U.S. in September[3].
