OSGeo in Research

Free and Open Source Geospatial Software in research projects
The education and curriculum project aims at developing strong cooperation with academic research projects. The cooperation can benefit both FOSS4G projects and research projects. We are looking for discussion about and links to


 * Research projects using FOSS4G
 * Research projects developing FOSS4G
 * Research needs
 * Research about and on FOSS4G. (This is a "meta" level topic)
 * Research on FOSS4G in participatory GIS
 * Research on FOSS4G software quality
