Dear FOSS4G Community,
We are excited to announce that the *Call for Proposals for FOSS4G-Asia January 2026* is now officially *open*!
FOSS4G-Asia is a dynamic regional gathering of geospatial enthusiasts, researchers, developers, professionals, and community leaders who are passionate about free and open source geospatial technologies. The 2026 edition promises to be a vibrant platform for sharing innovations, exploring new tools, and engaging with the broader FOSS4G community.
We welcome your submissions across *four distinct tracks*:

📘 Academic Track
We invite *original research contributions* related to open source geospatial software and science. Topics may include (but are not limited to): open geospatial data, open hardware, GIS for real-time applications, digital twins, disaster response, urban analytics, GeoAI, geospatial machine learning, LLMs, remote sensing, open education, and much more. If you're pushing the boundaries of geospatial research, this track is for you.

📣 General Track
Designed for practitioners, developers, community members, and organizations to share their *case studies, applications, tools, or initiatives*.
