MemorandumofUnderstanding between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation and the GSDI Association

October2016

The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish a collaborative relationship between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI). Both parties to this MOU are not-for-profit organisations and share the goal of developing, on a global basis, collaboration opportunities for academia, industry, government organizations andindividuals indevelopmentanduseofgeomaticssoftware.

The MOU addresses the following topics and activities:

• Development of collaboration opportunities for academia, industry, government organizations and individuals working in geomatics for the purpose of creating a sustainable ecosystem for GIS globally for implementing components of organisational, local and national Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).

• Contributing to development of training materials, e.g. case studies of applications used for SDI implementation, such material to be made available to the global geo community for example through the FOSS4G Academy or the GeoAcademy platforms.

• Promoting workshops, academic tracks and paper publications (open access) at the GSDI World Conferences and regional meetings, to educate and promote the use of GIS software for SDI implementation.

• Providing promotional support for Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centers across the world, for supporting development of geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.

• Joint organization of events and workshops through the GSDI Association network for wider global promotion of OSGeo goals.

This MOU will be reviewed annually by both parties at which time revisions may be made and the agreement renewed.
