Open Source Geospatial tools are not just driving the use of the feature
rich tools but also propelling the development of new and applied
technologies for the use of the Geospatial technology in range of fields
- from agriculture, forestry to resource management and urban planning;
from location based services on web and mobile platforms to many
e-governance initiatives. This conference, for the first time in India,
will bring together the developers and users of FOSS4G tools -
academicians, researchers, technologists, companies and entrepreneurs to
share, discuss and collaborate towards faster adoption and use of the
geospatial tools across the country.
