The Open Source Geospatial Foundation
and
International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS)

September 2014

The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish a collaborative relationship between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). Both parties to this MOU share the goal of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data.

The MOU will cover the following proposals and topics:

  • To link the photogrammetry and remote sensing communities with the Open Source geospatial community
  • To promote the development of related photogrammetry and remote sensing Open Source software
  • To hold joint international workshops on global geo-information sharing through open geo-data sets and the use of Open Source geospatial software

This MOU will be reviewed annually by both parties at which time revisions may be made and the agreement renewed.
