About Us

Welcome to the official wiki page of OSGeo Nepal, a revitalized local chapter of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). Initially started in 2014 and now being resumed, we are a community-driven initiative dedicated to promoting and supporting the use of open source geospatial technologies in Nepal. Our aim is to bring together enthusiasts, professionals, and individuals interested in geospatial technology to collaborate, learn, and contribute to the field.

Objectives

As we resume our journey, the OSGeo Nepal Local Chapter's objectives remain aligned with our initial goals:

Revive Open Source Geospatial Technologies

We are rekindling our commitment to promoting open source geospatial technologies in Nepal. By organizing workshops, seminars, and online content, we aim to demonstrate the value and versatility of open source tools for various geospatial applications.

Foster Community Growth

Our mission is to build a stronger and more engaged community of geospatial enthusiasts in Nepal. Through regular meetups, webinars, and collaborative projects, we provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and skill development.

Empower through Education

Education continues to be a cornerstone of our efforts. We are dedicated to providing learning resources, training materials, and hands-on sessions that empower individuals with the skills needed to harness open source geospatial technologies effectively.

Advocate for Open Data and Standards

We persist in advocating for the use of open data and standards in Nepal's geospatial landscape. By promoting interoperability and the sharing of geospatial data, we contribute to a more accessible and transparent geospatial ecosystem.

Events and Activities

Stay tuned for our upcoming events and activities. Our revived chapter will host a variety of webinars, workshops, and collaborative projects to engage the community and promote open source geospatial technologies.
