Mission

The mission of the education committee is to inventory, organize and coordinate the development of educational and curriculum material that supports OS Geospatial-related education. The intent is to work collaboratively to provide Appropriately Licensed Material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Our efforts began around 2006 and eventually we evolved into a broader community that is called GeoForAll.
