OGC/OSGeo meet up
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.
Who is coming:
- Denise McKenzie, OGC Marketing and Communications
