About
The OSS Capabilities Map is an open, community‑owned directory. It helps you discover the people, organisations, and projects driving open source geospatial work across Oceania.
It's built by and for the community, with support from OSGeo Oceania — the regional chapter of the global Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).
