China Chapter of OSGeo
About China OSGeo
Open Source Geospatial software (i.e. GRASS, GDAL, MapGuide and Mapserver) has become quite competitive with proprietary GIS in recent years. OSGeo is a global non-profit organization dedicating to global collaboration on supporting, building and promoting highest-quality open source geospatial software.
The China Chapter of OSGeo is formed by Chinese Active Users of Open Source Geospatial Software, hosted by National Remote Sensing Center of China, and co-sponsored by Autodesk Software (China) Co. Ltd. China OSGeo Chapter will earnestly follow the Local Chapter Guidelines stipulated by OSGeo and cooperate closely with OSGeo Board in promoting the use and development of OSGeo projects in China. The China OSGeo Chapter will strive to serve anyone interested in Open Source GIS and related issues, and to cover all the activities associated with Open Source GIS in China.
Mission
China OSGeo carries out numerous tasks addressed by OSGeo Foundation through its three committees - Supervisory Committee, Executive Committee and Technical Committee.
