This year’s FOSS4G in Florence, Italy, hasn’t even happened yet, but planning is already underway for the next edition. FOSS4G 2023 will take place in Prizren, Kosovo. After Florence, that’s an event in Europe two years in a row, deviating from the usual rota: Europe, Americas, rest of the world.
FOSS4G is the world’s largest meeting focusing on open-source geospatial software and open data bringing together developers, users and academics from around the world. It is organised by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation and a local group.
Further details for the 2023 event, such as a date, have not yet been announced.

Update: The call for presentations is now open. Submit either an abstract for a 15-minute presentation or a five-minute lightning talk via the online form.
