From the website: "The internationally acclaimed 'Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial' conference is our annual global conference held in a different city each year since 2004. It regularly attracts over 1,000 practitioners and advocates for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial."

I'm curious how much discussion there'll be about AI-controlled robotics tapping into geospatial data - especially given the massive investment surge we're seeing right now. If the convergence plays out the way some companies are betting big on, we might be looking at a genuine explosion of robotic agents wandering around physical space. Think less "Terminator" and more "really smart delivery drones that actually know where your porch is."

The timing is particularly interesting because several trends are converging: LLMs are getting better at spatial reasoning, edge computing is making real time processing feasible for mobile robots, and crucially, open geospatial standards (the bread and butter of FOSS4G) are becoming essential infrastructure for this robot-everywhere future.

LLMs are getting better at spatial but still are quite bad at geospatial

Everything old is new again: The Light Railways Act of 1896 also propsed rail lines built to less then mainline standards (often narrow gauge) to get transport links to otherwise unconnected locations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Railways_Act_1896 comment edited because I fat finger editing the submit button

My favorite part of the app is the spectrogram - I'm not sure exactly why but seeing the songs has made learning which bird goes with which song so much easier.

Also a shout out here to Bird Song Hero: https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/bird-song-hero/

Subaru require you navigating to second screen for climate modes. Simple temp adjustment has buttons, but the screen interactions for basic usage feels dangerous as a driver.

This is the feature I dislike most about my outback. Some systems just need buttons so you can operate without looking
