The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial-North America (FOSS4G-NA) 2013 Conference recently announced its program for the upcoming event in May. In it, you'll find an amazing range of topics covered by experts from:
- Foursquare
- MapBox
- NASA - Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- OpenGeo
- University of Minnesota
- U.S. Department of State
- U.S. Geological Survey
- U.S. National Park Service
Plus, the Minnesota GIS/LIS Consortium will be providing a diverse range of workshops encompassing both open source and proprietary solutions the day before the FOSS4G-NA Conference gets underway. That's an incredible educational combo made even better by the absolutely FREE sponsor day, Friday, May 24th, AND at least one hackaton already scheduled to follow on Saturday, May 25th.

Comment: Rumor has it that due to sequestration, travel funds will be very limited for Federal employees who would like to attend an educational event like FOSS4G-NA 2013. Oh, geez, who thought up that one? Save maybe a total of $1,000/person, while losing $$ MILLIONS $$ because dedicated public employees won't have the opportunity to learn how to deploy and use FREE and OPEN Source Software in support of government's geospatial business needs. Absolutely......Brilliant!
