DESCRIPTION:The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Open Source Geospa
 tial Foundation (OSGeo) have a long and natural tradition of collaborating
 . In 2022\, the Memorandum of Understanding between both organizations was
  updated - to pay tribute to ongoing and future activities.\n\nIn the init
 ial MoU (2008)\, OGC and OSGeo agreed to work closely to coordinate with e
 ach other’s memberships regarding new standards developments and standar
 ds changes that may be required as a result of open source programs. Anoth
 er important aspect of the relationship is to keep each other well informe
 d of the respective activities and directions. Both aspects have proven to
  be of great importance. One goal was and is to coordinate activities in s
 uch a way as to maximize the achievement of both organizations’ mission 
 and goals.\nThat includes to identify open source technologies that can be
  used as reference implementations for and validate compliance tests devel
 oped for OGC adopted standards.\nSince the first MOU\, there has been an i
 ncrease in OGC on developer focus and engagement of software communities a
 nd activities.  Increased collaboration has also occured by way of the OGC
  API code sprints. In addition\, key opportunities for cross pollination h
 ave evolved given shared missions (FAIR data) and the viewpoint that FOSS4
 G software is beneficial for all software.\n\nThe development of the OGC A
 PI suite of standards is an excellent example on how the MoU works in prac
 tical terms. The OGC APIs are a family of Web APIs that have been created 
 as extensible specifications designed as modular building blocks that enab
 le access to spatial data that can be used in data APIs. These revolutiona
 ry APIs make location information more accessible than ever before through
  the use of RESTful principles\, and the OpenAPI specification for describ
 ing interfaces. OGC APIs have been tested in close collaboration with the 
 global developer and end user communities through hackathons\, sprints\, a
 nd workshops to provide a modern solution to tomorrow’s location sharing
  issues. For example\, the 2021 Joint Code Sprint organized by OGC\, OSGeo
  and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) included open source implementat
 ions of OGC APIs - and became a standing sprint activity that was repeated
  in 2022.\n\nThis presentation provides a deeper dive into the new Memoran
 dum of Understanding and how both open standards and  free and open source
  software can benefit from one another.

DESCRIPTION:Neither the open (geo)data initiative and\, needless to say\, t
 he open source for geospatial one\, are the new kids on the block anymore.
  Crucial steps have been taken all over the world in establishing the fram
 ework of openness\, collaborative development and transparency ranging fro
 m hands-on events - such as code sprints or collaborative data gathering -
  mapathons - to funding opportunities and legislative measures. In this co
 ntext\, we present a 3 years-old EU supported initiative founded on open s
 ource and open data and that has reached maturity. In our talk\, we presen
 t the potential support that such initiatives have in the wider framework 
 of environmental monitoring and reporting across Europe - Geo-harmonizer. 
 \n\nGeo-harmonizer stands for EU-wide automated mapping system for harmoni
 zation of Open Data based on FOSS4G and Machine Learning. The project unfo
 lded between 2019 and 2022 and was co-financed under Grant Agreement Conne
 cting Europe Facility (CEF) Telecom project 2018-EU-IA-0095 by the Europea
 n Union.
