As already announced with OSM at GISalzburg 2023, we were represented at GI Salzburg 2023 (Tue 04.07.2023 – Thu 06.07.2023) with our OpenStreetMap Austria stand. Furthermore, we helped to run the FOSSGIS and OSGEO stands for FOSSGIS e.V.
We arrived on Monday, July 3, 2023, to use the evening to set up.
The booth was built on Monday evening
The local chapter will also be represented at this year’s GISalzburg (Tue 04.07.2023 - Thu 06.07.2023), Austria’s trade fair and conference on applied geoinformation in Salzburg, with a stand sponsored by the organizers and accommodation and travel costs sponsored by FOSSGIS e.V! In addition to OpenStreetMap, we are helping out in the FOSSGIS and OSGeo area with exhibition material provided by FOSSGIS e.V.
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.
The slides can be downloaded here: https://www.openstreetmap.at/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/presentation_combined.pdf

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.
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:
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.
Markus and an enthusiastic visitor
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.
Andreas on his way to AGIT
After a short walk, I set about reopening the OSM & OSGeo stand.
New day for the OSM stand
There is still a small amount of QGIS Cookies left over from the day before.
OSM stand before the crowds of visitors
After yesterday’s preparation day, we didn’t have much work to do in the morning to get the stand ready for visitors.
Come to the OSM stand, we have brought a great map with us.
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.
