As part of the GI_Salzburg_22, the OSM-AT association gave a lecture on the content of OpenStreetMap, OGD data sources and FOSSGIS/OSGeo software products.

From July 6th to July 7th, 2022, the successor to AGIT, the GI_Salzburg, took place in Salzburg. We, the OSM-AT association, were there to present the OpenStreetMap project, the FOSSGIS association and OSGeo.
The journey began on Tuesday, July 6, 2022. Since we have quite a bit of trade fair material and FOSSGIS e.V. had sent us banners, advertising material, and stickers with FOSSGIS and OSGeo-specific material by post, mapper geologist volunteered to drive and drove to Salzburg together with mapper ScubbX.
At this year’s Grazer LinuxTagen (https://www.linuxtage.at/de/, 22.04.2022 to 23.04.2022), a JOSM workshop will be held by Stefan Tiran: https://pretalx.linuxtage.at/glt22/talk/GYAHSS/
In addition to a brief overview of the OSM mapping process and information about the necessary explanations and help pages on the internet, an introduction to JOSM is given and resources approved for OSM mapping in Austria are recommended.
Until November 21, 2021, you can apply to actively participate in the next FOSSGIS, the conference for open and free GIS software! In addition to a presentation, you can also give short talks, make yourself available as an expert for question and answer sessions, give a lightning talk, etc…

The videos of the OSGeo Days lectures at AGIT 2020, kindly provided by the AGIT organization, are now online on YouTube and the TIB AV-Portal!
The lectures were grouped into three blocks, with each block being an entire video.
Block 1 ( Link to video on TIB AV: https://av.tib.eu/media/49229 ) contains:
Block 2 ( Link to video on TIB AV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njrwasa5YFo ) contains:
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:
edit: the Maker Faire has been canceled due to the uncertain planning situation for 2020! edit: the Maker Faire has been postponed to October 3-4, 2020!
The Austrian OpenStreetMap Association is promoting the OpenStreetMap project at the Maker Faire Vienna for the second time this year! This will take place on May 16 and 17, 2020 (FR & SA).
We are already looking forward to this exciting fair in the great location of MetaStadt.
