This document discusses free and open source geospatial software, data, and standards. It summarizes FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Solutions for Geoinformatics) and how OSGeo was founded in 2006 to support collaborative development of open source geospatial software. It outlines OSGeo's code vetting process and incubation of projects. It also discusses partnerships between open source and proprietary software as well as OSGeo's relationships with organizations, sponsors, and professional service providers. Finally, it describes the GeoForAll initiative to establish open geospatial research and education opportunities through collaboration between academia, government, and industry.

114 labs established worldwide as of 24 January, 2017 OSGeo is mentor organization since 2007. Majority of mentors from Industry. GeoForAll Labs: OSGeo outreach project
Leading Academia-Industry collaboration Either can lead, depends on budget commitment Ways for industry to engage with academia idea/hackathons, publish, certification, summer-of- research for young professionals, more summer-of-code for students Steps required to change mindset? Increase awareness of Open Source Licenses. Open Source can be commercial, Proprietary can gain with Open Source software Any known success stories? OSGeo Software projects, GeoForAll, UN-OpenGIS.
