We have set up a page for conferences that might be of interest for people working in the field of geographic information science. If you want us to add your conference to the lis, just drop us a line!

Just to make those of you who cannot attend GIScience a bit envious of the participants: There is a Flickr Set with some pictures of last night’s gala dinner at Nordkirchen castle.

Krysztof Janowicz gave a talk entitled “Towards a Similarity-Based Identitiy Assumption Service for Historical Places” at GIScience yesterday. The slides for he used are now online over at his Similarity Blog.

GIScience kicked off here in Münster today with a series of five workshops. I joined the one on The Cognitive Approach to Modeling Environments (CAME), and one of the most interesting topics for discussion was brought up by Clare Davies from Ordnance Survey: Is there actually another spatial task than wayfinding that most people […]

Two more days until this year’s GIScience conference starts - for the first time in Europe, here in Münster. Since some (maybe even all) of this blog’s authors are going to be there, you can expect lots of news from the world of geographic information science on gisblog.net during the next few days.

Just a short notice, at Thursday some talks of the foss4g conference will be accessible as live streams. For more information visit the Foss4g2006 website. Enjoy!

Ok, it is summer, but someone (Mateusz Łoskot) is just preparing himself for the upcoming OpenSource conference Foss4G in September in Lausanne, Switzerland and initiated an IRC channel for the conference. The IRC log of this channel does not yet include interesting content, but this could change during the conference. Also some blogging will be […]
