Boundless Reinforces its Commitment to Open Source with Diamond OSGeo Sponsorship

NEW YORK, NY – Boundless, the leader in open GIS, today announced it has reinforced its ongoing commitment to open source by providing a Diamond Sponsorship of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) for 2017. As part of its sponsorship, Boundless is being recognized for its generous sponsorship of foundation projects, initiatives and community events including:

  • Boundless is a gold sponsor the FOSS4G event in Boston.

In addition to its investment, Boundless is a pillar of the OSGeo community with staff participating at all levels from committees work to leadership roles in the QGIS, GeoServer, GeoNode and GeoTools projects.

“Boundless goes beyond just reading/writing open standards as a way of being ‘open,'” said Anthony Calamito, vice president of products for Boundless. “Boundless contributes its source code to open source repositories, sponsors open geospatial software foundations, and employs core committers and steering committee members for many open source GIS software projects. This sponsorship further cements our support of the thriving community.”

The software foundation is devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community driven development. OSGeo serves as an outreach and advocacy organization providing financial, organizational and legal support for the open source geospatial community.
