I saw this information on Google sharing thier Open Source Report Card, highlighting \
thier most popular projects, sharing a few statistics and detailing some of the \
projects they have released in 2016.
https://opensource.googleblog.com/2016/10/google-open-source-report-card.html
I thought it is really good idea and it will be good if more organisations start \
producing their annual Open Source report cards. So I request all business and \
government organisations in the OSGeo ecosystem to produce your annual open source \
report card and we will be pleased to publish it in our Geo4All newsletter.
Economic impact of open source software on innovation and the competitiveness of the \
ICT sector in huge as many studies have shown. Open source is not only a catalyst for \
business growth, but also a key driver and enabler of future success for many \
startups today.
Even properitery GIS vendors are dependent on open source software and libraries for \
their delivery so it is important that they acknowledge this and thank the OSGeo \
community.
Open source software and open data are the backbone that underpins much of the \
service delivery across the public, private and consumer sectors of the world \
economy. ? Governments, industry ,start-ups are leveraging open source software and \
open data to accelerate innovation in Geospatial. But more importantly Open \
Principles are key for true empowerment and sustainability.
