    Friends,   As of now, our TC does not plan to have representation at the EGU as we did last year.  Instead, we will be focusing on the ISCRAM where we will have a track and additional visibility.  However, if you are interested in the sciences and have the bandwidth this is another opportunity to speak/present on open standards in Europe in April.  These two are actually separated by only a weekend and just a few hundred miles apart, so attending both might be of interest.   Cheers, Elysa   From: Peter Löwe [mailto:ploewe@gfz-potsdam.de] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 7:33 AM To: Verborgene_Empfaenger: Subject: EGU 2013 Session on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and Geosciences   Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session at EGU 2013 (Vienna, 07 – 12 April 2013) ESSI2.7 - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and Geosciences You can follow this link to the online abstract submission homepage: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2013/abstractsubmission/12088 Important deadlines: - For young scientists: Applications for travel support (and also the abstracts) must be submitted until Friday, 30 November 2012 . - The regular deadline for receipt of abstracts is on Wednesday, 09 January 2013 If you have any questions regarding this session, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The session will be a forum for both the latest advances in FOSS-empowered research and also successful applications of existing FOSS tools for geoscientific tasks. -- ------------------------------ Dr. Peter Löwe Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum - GFZ Telegraphenberg A20 D-14473 Potsdam Germany Tel: +49-331-288-2338 Fax: +49-331-288-1703 ------------------------------
