The annual FOSS4G conference is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software. FOSS4G brings together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation. Through six days of workshops, presentations, discussions, and cooperation, FOSS4G participants create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, and protocols.
FOSS4G has been held all over the world and draws attendees from over 40 countries. Bonn, Germany hosted the conference in 2016. In 2017, Boston, Massachusetts, USA will host.
The event’s host, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, was founded to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial software. The foundation’s goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects, data development and education. Many projects live under the OSGeo umbrella.
After a superb feedback from successful events in Toowoomba and Springfield last year, the QSSA, in conjunction with USQ, will be running a GNSS Control Survey course at the USQ Springfield Campus on the 19th and 20th August.
The course will use the Trimble Business Centre and the USQ computer labs.
The objective of the workshop is to provide graduates with the information and skills to complete components of their registration that may not always be provided in all workplaces. The course will cover theory, field practice and office calculations involved in rapid static GNSS control networks.

SIBA|GITA & the Geography Teachers Association Victoria (GTAV) are working together to present a Business Networking Event featuring:
Dr Stuart Minchin, Chief, Environmental Geoscience Division, Geoscience Australia
Presenting the Digital Earth Australia (Data Cube), and its new approach for organising and analysing the vast quantities of satellite imagery and other Earth observations in both space and time, making it quicker and easier to provide information on issues that can affect all Australians. Minchin will cover how the LINK has enabled the evolution of the FSDF from a conceptual framework represented in static booklets (2012) to a governed, online, dynamic, cloud-based analysis and discovery tool.
Joseph J. Kerski, Ph.D., GISP, Education Manager
The rapid pace of spatial innovation it is now more important than ever that the spatial industries stay connected and support Geography taught in schools and provide the much needed link into industry to ensure curriculum relevance. Understanding the world and using our spatial lens, skills, knowledge and perspective are important to bring about positive change to the world, its environment and its people.
Amelia Chapman, Director, Land Information and Spatial Services, Land Use Victoria
Land Use Victoria brings together long-standing foundational spatial functions that have been apart for over a decade, together with new industry engagement, data analytics and digital innovation functions which are driving greater public value from government land and spatial data. Amelia will provide an ‘over the horizon’ view of the short, medium and longer term directions for these new functions.
