Open Source Geospatial Foundation  A non-profit organization modelled on the Apache Software Foundation  The leading voice for open source GIS  Rigourous incubation and graduation for software projects  Provides a «common brand of quality»

Regional SDIs in Germany Mapbender – data management Mapserver – metadata WMS OpenLayers – web mapping client PostGIS – geo database GeoNetwork – geodata catalogue Rhineland Palatinate, Badem-Wurttemberg, Brandenburg
SDI themes at Dutch Cadaster PostGIS – database GDAL/OGR - transformation GeoServer, Deegree – WFS, WMS OpenLayers/GeoExt – web mapping http://inspire.kademo.nl/doc
More OSGeo backed SDIs ... Finland - nationally http://www.paikkatietoikkuna.fi/web/EN Regionally http://www.lounaispaikka.fi/ France, Italy, Hungary, Spain – all some combination of PostGIS, Geoserver, Mapserver, OpenLayers...
OSGeo project origins GeoServer came from a Manhattan hedgie's non-profit foundation. Now a company, http://opengeo.org/ GeoNetwork came from UN FAO. Now a company, http://geocat.net/ OpenLayers started at a text-mining company, now owned by Nokia. It quickly grew a community via OSGeo.
Generalitat Valenciana – gvSIG In-house project of regional government of Valencia, Spain Now mobile versions, Consultancies, a Foundation, an international user community
Geomajas – web management Origins in Flemish Government supported work on geGIS - http://www.gegis.org/ Now an incubating OSGeo project.
Benefits of OSGeo software 1) Save money. 2) Reduce costs with “Dual-Vendor Strategy”. 3) Flexibility and futureproofing 4) Uphold morale of technical staff
More benefits of OSGeo software 5) Work in partnership with peer organisations 6) Develop local businesses 7) Move to open standards, open data 8) Pride, respect, shifgrethor
Where's Scotland's Data? CKAN – project of Open Knowledge Foundation
Open Knowledge Scotland http://okscotland.eventbrite.com/ May 13th 2010, 3-7pm, Informatics Forum, Edinburgh “How can Scotland benefit from open data? Are there public implications for entrepreneurial or ‘big business’ participation?”
