Abstract
The Free and Open Source paradigm is no longer a novelty in the geospatial world. There are numerous, stable and powerful solutions, services, libraries built and maintained in the spirit of FOSS. The movement has long overcome the status of a garage hobby, infiltrating all sectors. There are hundreds of relevant events around the world each year, from conferences to hackathons, workshops and seminars, studies and reports analysing open source business models, funding schemas and explicit requests for projects that build software to make it open source. In this agile context, it is difficult, if not impossible to keep up to the speedy developments, to make use of what is already out there and investing resources in improving and not building from scratch.
