Marco Minghini, Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission,
says
"Open source geospatial software is a key building block of many data
infrastructures managed and operated by the European Commission,
powering high-level, pan-European initiatives such as INSPIRE and
Copernicus. The role of OSGeoLive to teach and promote the use of open
source geospatial software has no equivalent. Big thanks to OSGeo and
the OSGeoLive team!"
