OSGeo Journal: Case Studies, Local Reports and Project Updates

Recently the question came up about where to find case studies and articles about open source geospatial projects and software. At first my foggy memory thought, oh yeah, we haven't got a list of them anywhere and we don't have any people with official roles collecting case studies. However we do have a team of volunteer editors and authors who are keen on spreading the word about projects and their usage.

Enter the OSGeo Journal. So far we've produced 4 information packed issues of the Journal. I pulled together some simple stats and was thrilled to see that we have enough for a small book. Thanks a lot to the editorial team that committed to pull these together. And a special thanks to the Francophone Chapter for translating them into French.

As we gear up for a run at another issue for the end of the year, this time hopefully including some peer review options, consider what kind of case study you might like to write. Drop our team a note if you have any questions or submit an article online and an editor will be in touch. There is also more room for any other interested editorial or review team members!

p.s. We do have a short list of some case studies also in the wiki
