Geoinformatics FCE CTU 2011

Geoinformatics FCE CTU 2011
Prague, Czech Republic, 19-20 May 2011

Geoinformatics FCE CTU is the international conference which is organized by Department of Mapping and Cartography, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.

The conference is focused on the relevance of Free and Open Source Software in Geoinformatics concerning wide range of topics:

• Software development
• Public geodata
• Software patents
• Migration from proprietary software to free software at schools, public administration, etc.
• and many others ...

Geoinformatics FCE CTU is the event with a fruitful history, see passed years 2010 • 2009 • 2008 • 2007 • 2006.
