Introduction
The Romanian OSGeo Local Chapter is represented by geo-spatial.org, founded in 2007, by a small group of passionate people. Now, our community brings together approximately 700 people, from which app. 25 are constantly involved in projects, FOSS4G conferences and workshops (1 OSGeo charter member).
Chapter Accomplishments
In 2012, geo-spatial.org has continued the series of workshops held every year in 3 different Romanian cities, has continued one of its flagship project, eHarta, started in 2010 and has increased its involvement in the Open Data movement, through active implication in disscusions regarding the Action Plan of Romania for the Open Gouvernament Partnership, organising and taking part at formal and informal meetings with Open Data focus and more.
Visibility at conferences and workshops
- FOSS4G-CEE and Geoinformatics, 21 - 23 May, Prague, Czech Republic - a general presentation of geo-spatial.org, the study case of building and developing a successful reference point in the FOSS4G community.

Maps’ scales vary with regard to the depicted area. Three have a 1:30000 scale and three 1:50000. The maps are georeferenced in Stereo70. (http://earth.unibuc.ro/download/hartile-turistice-ale-tcr)
