Where better to have an open discussion regarding the two important facets that build and sustain FOSS4G - community and business - if not at FOSS4G Europe? To close a great first day of the FOSS4G Mostar conference, we are honoured to invite our distinguished panelists to share…

The FOSS4G Observatory is the initiative to map the complex, dynamic and ever-expanding ecosystem of the free and open source software used in any geospatial related process, activity or field, from storage to processing to visualisation, from operational to scientific endeavours…

In this talk, the authors plan to take you on the development road of an initiative- community led and supported by ESA - to ingeniously map the complex and dynamic ecosystem of open source for geospatial solutions.

For geospatial enthusiasts, working with data, debugging code, running geospatial algorithms, making maps and then more maps to best depict the momentary state of an environmental or socio-economic variable - it is a great and valuable use of working time.

We would like to briefly introduce OSGeo to you and trigger your interest in contributing to our mission. While our geospatial projects thrive, OSGeo also faces challenges.

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) have a long and natural tradition of collaborating. In 2022, the Memorandum of Understanding between both organizations was updated - to pay tribute to ongoing and future activities.
