About OSGeo-India
-----------------

OSGeo-India is the India Chapter of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation
(OSGeo.org), launched in Jan 2007 as a not-for-profit Society with a pan India
focus. The goal of the Society is to provide support and help in building up
of open source tools and applications related to the field of geospatial
technologies and its allied sciences in this part of the world. It is working
towards developing a community of both the users of such products and the
developers who can contribute in developing high quality open source software.
The Society and its activities are tuned towards achieving these goals, both
in the context of software development, e-governance, localisation (Indian
language support) and building of awareness & outreach of such software
systems.
