Sessions
The FOSS4G Observatory is the initiative to map the complex, dynamic and ever-expanding ecosystem of the free and open source software used in any geospatial related process, activity or field, from storage to processing to visualisation, from operational to scientific endeavours. The community-led initiative has come a long way since 2016 and, starting with 2023, it has received support from the European Space Agency, leading to significant improvements.
In this talk, the authors present the long winding road to a successful community collaboration that lead to the documentation of almost 500 free and open source projects for geospatial and furthermore, the highlights will be on the outlook for the FOSS4G Observatory for the years to come: licence interoperability, standardisation compliance automatic identification, health of FOSS4G projects and more.
