📌 FOSS4G 2023 to take place in Prizren, Kosovo 📌

🎉 We are thrilled to announce that the 2023 Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Conference (FOSS4G) will be hosted by FLOSSK in Prizren, Kosovo.

FOSS4G (https://foss4g.org/) is the annual event organized by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) since 2006 and one of the largest global meetings on geospatial software of the year.

FLOSSK is a Kosovo NGO promoting FLOSS since 2009.

The town has always been one of Kosovo’s most beautiful cities, with unique roads, churches, mosques, and lots of old houses, which now serve for visual storytelling on the city’s history and tradition.

Local team looks forward to living up to Kosovo’s renowned hospitality.🎇🎇
