<br />
Welcome to the OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter! <br />
<br />
The OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter is aimed at supporting the Sri Lankan open source GIS community in their activities. The chapter is formally recognised in August 2018 though the OSGeo and open source GIS activities are being conducted around the country for nearly a decade before that . FOSSGIS and open data have become an attractive tools and resources in disaster management, town and country planning, water resource management and community activities and therefore have become part of teaching and learning in universities and organisations as well.<br />
<br />
The First formal meeting of the chapter was held on 19th October 2017 at the Department of Town & Country Planning (TCP), University of Moratuwa . <br />
<br />
=== Mission ===<br />
<br />
* Advocate the use of Free and open source GIS tools and open data among local community <br />
* Promote localized GIS solutions which cater for Sri Lankan people’s requirements <br />
* Support the OSGeo activities at international and regional levels (such as Asian regional activities)<br />
* Act as a bridge between various groups like developers, application users, students, educational Institutes, government departments and community groups who can be benefited from open source GIS <br />
* Foster an open environment to grow , collaborate and networking as a community while sharing OSGeo value system <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Objectives ===<br />
<br />
* Conduct events related to GIS and open source GIS to increase awareness and networking <br />
* Provide technical guidance and support to implement open source GIS local solutions and entrepreneurship based on FOSS GIS <br />
* Develop open source GIS training material suitable for local communities , using local datasets and examples <br />
* Conduct training and support R & D activities related to open source GIS , collaborative with universities and other organizations <br />
* Offer mentoring support for open source GIS projects at university and other levels of education <br />
* Maintain a repository of local open source GIS activities including events, development of software tools and training materials<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Legal status ===<br />
<br />
There is no requirement from OSGeo to a local chapter have a legal existence. However, as it would be much convenience in the long run, we are in the process of registering the Sri Lankan chapter as a community organization in Sri Lanka. <br />

The chapter is formally recognised in August 2018 though the OSGeo and open source GIS activities are being conducted around the country for nearly a decade before that . FOSSGIS and open data have become an attractive tools and resources in disaster management, town and country planning, water resource management and community activities and therefore have become part of teaching and learning in universities and organisations as well.<br />
<br />

Welcome to the OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter! <br />
<br />
The OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter is aimed at supporting the Sri Lankan open source GIS community in their activities. The chapter is formally recognised in August 2018 though the OSGeo and open source GIS activities are being conducted around the country for nearly a decade before that . FOSSGIS and open data have become an attractive tools and resources in disaster management, town and country planning, water resource management and community activities and therefore have become part of teaching and learning in universities and organisations as well.<br />
<br />
The First formal meeting of the chapter was held on 19th October 2017 at the Department of Town & Country Planning (TCP), University of Moratuwa . <br />

* Act as a bridge between various groups like developers, application users, students, educational Institutes, government departments and community groups who can be benefited from open source GIS <br />
* Foster an open environment to grow , collaborate and networking as a community while sharing OSGeo value system <br />
<br />
<br />
