Abstract

Since its establishment in 2011 through MoU between OSGeo and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) the global network of academic Open Source Geospatial laboratories has reached over 100 members from all continents. ISPRS joined the initiative in 2014. This session describes the mission of the initiative, its current activities and infrastructure and explains the simple process of joining the network. Examples of lab collaborations and contributions to open source geospatial projects will provide inspiration for others to participate.
