-* '''Why does your organization want to participate in Google Code-in 2017? (500 character limit)''' OSGeo would like to introduce the future young leaders to our vibrant community, where over 38 different projects live in regards to Open Source mapping (geospatial).  We think this will be a fun experience for both the mentors and the students, with tasks that are both fun and beneficial.   We have been a Summer of Code mentor organization since 2007, so we know the important of introducing students to our projects.  We say sure let'd do it!

-* '''How has your organization prepared for Google Code-in 2017?
