Abstract
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to foster global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an inclusive software foundation devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community driven development.
GeoForAll have done a substantial amount of work in the field of geodata visualisation research and education. One example is the FOSS4G GeoAcademy Curriculum lectures and labs, maintained and made available for download from the Spatial {Query} Lab on behalf of the GeoAcademy.
The lectures focus on a vendor-agnostic set of theories and principles. The lectures and labs are freely available to use and have been released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. They are in line with the Geospatial Technology Competency Model, and all labs focus on the use of Free and Open Source GIS Software (FOSS4G). They are also available on GitHub.
