Areas for Improvement

OSGeo & FOSS4G are not so well-known to Korean GIS community still yet.
Most of our works were done by small key-persons.

Opportunities to Help

Successful case of FOSS4G implementations will be warmly welcomed especially in the government area.
Need help in translating many materials to Korean.
