OSGeoLive is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It also contains sample datasets and documentation. OSGeoLive is an OSGeo project used in several workshops at FOSS4Gs around
the world.
The OSGeoLive project has consistently and sustainably been attracting contributions from ~ 50 projects for over a decade. Why has it been successful? What has attracted hundreds of diverse people to contribute to this project? How are technology changes affecting OSGeoLive, and by extension, the greater OSGeo ecosystem? Where is OSGeoLive heading and what are the challenges and opportunities for the future? How is the project steering committee operating? In this presentation we will cover current roadmap, opportunities and challenges, and why people are using OSGeoLive.
MapComponents is a new component framework to quickly and easily build dynamic geospatial web apps. It includes React front-end components for all kinds of projects, from small apps with a narrow and specific focus up to complex geospatial suites for the web. Server-side components are also planned to aid the development of flexible backend services.
MapComponents
- is a modular framework to create tailored geospatial web apps built upon modern webbrowser technology
- can be used to visualise and analyse geo data
- can be used for desktop and mobile applications (online and offline; progressive web apps (PWA))
- provides independent components which can be combined into full-fledged geospatial web applications (e.g. dashboards, WebGIS, ...)
- provides a catalog of components and example applications
- uses a flexible core which theoretically supports any kind of mapping library (currently supported are MapLibre, Mapbox GL JS and OpenLayers)
- is easily integrated into existing stacks
- makes it easy to rapidly design and deploy a map centric web app
MapComponents is developed by WhereGroup GmbH and is available under the MIT license.

We will present the project, with its current state and goals, and will show practical examples.
