Of the conference, Pickle says, “OpenGeo is happy to once again be a part of the GI_Forum and reconnect with our peers in Central Europe. This year, I’m looking forward to presenting on our work with geovisualization, MapStory, and GeoNode, and sharing with the community the many ways that open source geospatial is helping to advance data visualization and cartography for users of all levels of geospatial expertise.” As an international open source geospatial company, OpenGeo is committed to representing the cutting-edge in open source geospatial software to users and developers worldwide.
