The FOSSGIS conference is the leading conference in the D-A-CH region for free and open source software for geoinformation systems, as well as for OpenStreetMap and Open Data. Over four days, insights into the latest developments and possible applications of software projects will be provided in lectures for beginners and experts, hands-on workshops and user meetings. The OSM Saturday is intended as an unconference (barcamp) and mapper meeting and is aimed at mappers, developers and those interested in OSM. The exact programme will be determined in the morning during the introduction and welcome. Participation in the Bonn OSM Saturday is free of charge and independent of the FOSSGIS conference. Registration is desired for better planning, either via the FOSSGIS conference registration system or via the OSM wiki. On the evening of the first day of the conference, 21 March 2018, the evening event ‘Campus-Dialoge’ will take place.
