Canada

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.

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

• Starting a local Chapter
• Local Chapter Guidelines
• Proposed Membership Rules
• Interest Groups
• Like Minded Regional Organizations
• One Organizational Model
• International Outreach

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 led downlight singapore 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.
