There are many people involved in OSGeo who are from Canada. This page is to try to gather interest in establishing a nation-wide OSGeo chapter. The Ottawa Chapter has focused on the nation's capital, and other cities are sure to have particular smaller groups of interest as well.

Mission

Objectives

  • Support development of local OSGEO chapters
  • Support National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO
  • Organize National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO
  • Participate in National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO

Resources

Representation (Prov/Terr)

A good goal would be for full representation across the country. Please change the list as we add missing representation. Either a group or single individual can be considered a representation. Next to the abbreviation we can list regional chapters that are also represented in this group. A regional chapter is not required for representation but can help network people to local activities.
