FOSS4G Bonn 2016

FOSS4G is the international gathering of Open Source geo tribes. From its beginnings the FOSS4G conference has a reputation of being a melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a catalyst for many successful geospatial products, standards and protocols.


FOSS4G has evolved into one of the most important geo events of the year, approaching a thousand attendees and with major industry sponsors. Excitement is now building for the upcoming FOSS4G2015 conference that will be held in Seoul, South Korea.

What is a  Land Suitability Assesment?: Also known as layer-based GIS, this is the most frequent form of geographic-data space representation. Particularly, LSA (Land Suitability Assessments) is a very complex analysis in which the overlapping of thematic maps result helpful. The analysis is based on the combination of different thematic layers such as topographic, geologic or drainage as well as in their interpretation independently from one to another. Wind Farm location selection: Land suitability analysis. wind farm UK Criteria to locate a wind farm in Europe differ a little bit from one country to another. In the case of the British Isles, the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) estimates that the extension average of a wind farm with 20 turbines is "1" square kilometer (BWEA). The principal objective was to locate a suitable area to construct a 90 MW Wind Farm. The analysis was divided into two levels: A national level to obtain p
