FOSS4G North America only 2 weeks away - April 10-11

FOSS4G North America 2012 is only two weeks away - April 10-12 in Washington, DC. Mapgears is a proud sponsor of the event and I'll be there of course!

The program of the first two days (April 10-11) includes 51 talks from presenters ranging from hardcore developers to visionary managers and technology architects, and four keynote speakers: Josh Berkus of PostgreSQL, Michael Byrne from the FCC, Paul Ramsey from OpenGeo and Keith Barber, from the NGA.

The third day (April 12) is Sponsor Day, with a Code Sprint taking place in parallel.

Online registration is open until April 2nd. Hurry up if you haven't registered yet as space is limited to 400 participants. More information is available on the foss4g-na.org website.

As for any FOSS4G event, the most important part for me is the networking with other developers and users of OSGeo software, so I look forward to seeing you there!
