Over the last six months we had lot of activities happening  for the ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies, from new open geospatial research labs being established  to summer schools, conferences, workshops etc . So to keep  updates of these events, we have  setup this blog for the Commission at  https://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/

Thanks to Felix Ortag ( Vienna University of Technology ) for his help in this. We have added this url to the Commission’s website (Thanks to Thierry Badard) as  I believe over time, this will be an excellent way to keep the news and events updated. If you wish to keep updated on the Commission’s activities, please subscribe to the blog.
