Last week registration opened for FedGeo Day, a one-day conference being held on February 28 in Washington, DC. The event offers a platform for those who work in or with federal agencies to share their experiences with modern open source geospatial technologies.

We’re looking forward to seeing case studies of how these tools are being used in government, what benefits they bring, and why so many agencies are shifting to open source technology. There will also be interactive demos that explore specific open source tools and applications. The agenda will be particularly attractive for those for those who make technology decisions within the federal government. OpenGeo will be presenting how the advances to server-side processing (added to the OpenGeo Suite in the 3.0 release) are altering the landscape for ‘traditional’ GIS.

OpenGeo and MapBox are acting the primary organizers and we thank RadiantBlue, MapStory, GeoEye, and Arc2Earth for joining us in sponsoring the event. A full schedule will be available soon at fedgeoday.com. Sign up now to reserve your spot, as space is limited.
