Pista ng Mapa 2023 will be an in-person conference

Each presentation can cover multiple topics.

Submissions promoting proprietary and restricted licensed software will not be accepted. Pista ng Mapa is a conference for free and open stuff (data, software, hardware, science, etc.) and that is the main interest.

Tracks

Talks can be classified as being Academic track or General track.

Academic track

The Academic track includes original research contributions addressing any topic or domain connected to open data, open mapping, open geospatial, and their applications. All types of papers are welcome, such as on results achieved, case studies, work in progress, reviews and demos. Academic track presentations must show originality, novelty, and relevance in their field.

In selecting Academic track presentations, particular attention will be given to the reproducibility of the research and its adherance to the FAIR principles. Researches that make all aspects (e.g. data, steps, methods, code) openly available and openly licensed, or those that use exisiting open data and methods, are preferred.

General track

The General track includes all other presentations that are not part of the Academic track.

Presentation types

There are two main presentation types:

Talk (20 minutes)

Classic talk/presentation could either be general or academic talk with 20 minutes allotted time for the talk itself and to be followed by 15 minutes question and answer segment for every 2 speakers.

Lightning talk (5 minutes)

Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last 5 minutes only. Three lightning talks under the same topic/theme will be grouped together as one session with 10 minutes for questions after the session.
