Auckland City

FOSS4G stands for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial, a conference series hosted in partnership with OSGeo. FOSS4G brings open source geospatial users, software developers, decision makers and researchers together from around the world.

Welcome to the South Pacific

OSGeo Oceania invites the FOSS4G community to Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau, the City of Sails, largest city of New Zealand Aotearoa for FOSS4G 2025.

Tāmaki Makaurau — A place desired by many.
Tāmaki Herenga Waka — The place where many canoes gather

These are the Māori names given to Auckland. They speak of our diverse landscapes, beautiful harbours, and fertile soils. They speak of the coming together of different iwi (tribes) to meet and trade.

Tēnā koutou katoa
Greetings to you all

In the spirit of manaakitanga — hospitality, generosity, and openness of spirit — we welcome our visitors as guests. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive, safe and inspiring environment for the FOSS4G community to collaborate, learn, and share.
