About OSGeo Sri Lanka (LK) Chapter

Welcome to the OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter!

The OSGeo Sri Lanka chapter is aimed at supporting the Sri Lankan open source GIS community to share knowledge and grow together. The chapter is formally recognised in August 2018 though the OSGeo and open source GIS activities are being conducted around the country for nearly a decade before that. FOSSGIS and open data have become an attractive tools and resources in disaster management, town and country planning, water resource management and community activities and therefore have become part of teaching and learning in universities and organisations as well.

The first FOSSGIS-Sri Lanka event held in 2014 was a starting point to link many enthusiasts and two GeoForAll labs were opened in Sri Lanka in the same year. Dr Yann Chamin and Vivien Deparday help us much to move forward and link the local open source GIS community with OSGeo.

The First formal meeting of the chapter was held on 19th October 2017 at the Department of Town & Country Planning (TCP), University of Moratuwa .
