Europe

Welcome to the wiki page of the Europe OSGeo Chapter.

Note: This is not the first time work has been done to create an OSGeo Europe Chapter. In fact, a legal entity was established in Belgium in 2017 and was closed in 2023. See the Europe archive for everything related to that.

ToDo list

  • Write and publish the Bylaws (Action: retrieve the documents from the previous EU Chapter)
  • Create activity calendar

Introduction

FOSS4G Europe conferences are becoming more popular every year. Europe faces specific legal challenges, such as the current Cyber Resilience Act, that have an impact on OSGeo projects, contributors and businesses in Europe. European institutions are interested in sponsoring OSGeo Europe, for which they need a legal and representative entity. OSGeo is registered in the USA, and can therefor not always easily support these challenges.
