Academic Track blurb

Posted by Jo Cook on December 7, 2012

Dear All,

Could someone please put together a paragraph or two on the Academic Track to go on the page http://2013.foss4g.org/academic-track/. This is currently just a place-holder but could do with some introductory text I think.

Thanks

Jo

I'd suggest just taking the intro for the CfP (slightly edited):

The FOSS4G 2013 Academic Track aims for a strong connection with the other elements of FOSS4G 2013, by bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields. With the Academic Track motto “Science for Open Source, Open Source for Science”, we aim to attract academic papers describing:

  • the use of open source geospatial software and data, in and for scientific research, as well as
  • academic endeavours to conceptualize, create, assess, and teach open source geospatial software and data.
