FOSS-OD Initiative

The Free Open Source Software community in geospatial technologies provides an important avenue for development of indigenous software and custom applications to national and regional needs. GISE hub is mandated to anchor the following three points:

● Developing a FOSS and OD platform for Community centric and participatory GIS

● Training, Outreach, Support Spoken Tutorials for existing FOSS software and data

● Creating a repository system for FOSS software and data for sharing and facilitate open-source community discussion for geospatial information

GISE Hub will facilitate the growth of FOSS4G-India community and support the usage of FOSS and OD for all projects within GISE hub and partner institutions.
