About
The OSS Capabilities Map is an open, community‑owned platform designed to make it easier to discover the people, projects, and services 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).
