JRC Support
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission is a supporter of FOSS4G this year. "The use of open standards and open source software is recommended by the European Interoperability Framework to support the delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to citizens and enterprises. Numerous initiatives of the EU institutions indicate their growing interest for open source software and within the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission its use is already widespread. In the context of the implementation of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) the use of open source geospatial software is assessed and considered favourably alongside proprietary alternatives. For these reasons the JRC is happy to support FOSS4G."
I took a quick scan through the many interesting tutorials, workshops, and presentations this year and have highlighted a few. You'll notice there are quite a few that relate to INSPIRE.
