Agenda:

A new way for rendering maps. Feature Streaming
by Manuel De La Calle (Glob3 Mobile)

During last 15 years maps have been served in many different ways.In the beginning we used simple images via. static files. Mapserver followed and the server rendered images for us. OGC services brought some standards for how we talk to servers, and finally Google broke the market. This talk is about a project which serves vector maps on the fly. We are going to show how to deploy huge datasets on a map via Internet (Mobile & Web)

OpenSource GIS has experimeted a wide growth in recent years, both in functionality and popularity. A great part of that success is due to the QGIS project.

QGIS is a Free and Open Source desktop GIS client that allows its users to perform complex geospatial analysis and easy (yet beautiful) cartographic outputs. It is compatible with most geo- formats, it has a powerful toolbox, integration with other GIS software and a friendly user interface. It also has an ever-growing community that develop and maintain a large collection of plugins that expand the QGIS capacities.

Spatial data versioning with GeoGig and the GeoGig QGIS plugin by Luigi Pirelli (BoundlessGeo)

With GeoGig, users are able to import raw geospatial data (currently from Shapefiles, PostGIS or SpatiaLite) in to a repository where every change to the data is tracked in a distributed editing environment. Changes can be viewed in a history, reverted to older versions, branched in to sandboxed areas, merged back in, and pushed to remote repositories.
