       | 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.

           | not LLMs.

       | oh wow, all streams are starting at once on that page

         | Thats how I like to watch my content too - 5 streams at the
         | same time. The audio overlaps nicely but I wish they tiled them
         | better so I could see all 5 at once as well as hear them.

       | Been to foss4g (NL/Europe/Global) a few times. If you work in a
       | field that even touches a bit on geospatial, you'll find
       | interesting talks. Even if you are a web dev and you think "no",
       | getting to know a few things about leaflet or other geo tools for
       | web never hurts.
