This page is designed to tell you everything you need to know about VisCom and what we do.
Our Mission
The mission of the Promotion and Visibility Committee ("VisCom") is to spread word and build a strong recognition of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, foundation projects, and the use of open source in geospatial applications in general. We do this by:
- participating at events, tradeshows, and conferences
- creation and use of OSGeo marketing materials (brochures, logos, etc)
- aiding in the creation and dissemination of case studies, white papers, etc
- outreach to other organizations, companies, group, media, etc
Committee Logistics
The official committee web site is here. (This wiki is more likely to be current and accurate, however.)
The VisCom project committee consists of:
- Arnulf Christl
