Community members are often interested in lending a hand with the foundation or its projects, but aren't sure where to start. This page attempts to point out efforts in need of support. It is primarily aimed at the foundation organization itself, but pointers to per-project volunteers needed pages are also welcome.

All potential volunteers are encouraged to join the discuss@osgeo.org mailing list.

  • Those interested in broadening International Outreach should consider joining the Marketing committee (Marketing).
  • The Core Curriculum Project needs support from those familiar with preparing academic training materials. Please see the efforts around the Free GIS Book, especially the Spanish version Libro SIG, which currently sees a lot of activity.
  • The Public Geospatial Data Project needs help with open geodata advocacy. European activity related to the INSPIRE directive has already shown some results, but further support is also needed on a national agency level. Use the growing OSGeo network to find like-minded people and organizations.
