We are pleased to announce the establishment of Open Source Geospatial
Research
and Education (OSGeoREL) Laboratory in the Czech Republic at the Faculty of
Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. The laboratory
is one
of the members of a worldwide network developed under the auspices of the
ICA-OSGeo Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

In 2011, the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a
Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the Open Source Geospatial Foundation
(OSGeo) with
a view to develop global collaboration opportunities for academia,
industry and
government organisations in the field of open source GIS software and
data. The
MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open
Source
Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world to support
the
development of open source geospatial software technologies, training and
expertise. Details at http://www.osgeo.org/node/1230

OSGeoREL at the CTU in Prague is led by Martin Landa, Department of
Mapping and
Cartography. The laboratory is devoted to education in geoinformatics using
FOSS4G, and to research in open source software development for geospatial
applications. Martin Landa is an OSGeo charter member since 2011 and a
member
of the GRASS Development Team since 2006. He is actively involved in the
GRASS
project as the lead architect of graphical user interface (GUI)
development and
PostGIS integration in GRASS vector architecture.

Geoinformatics at the CTU in Prague: Prof. Aleš Čepek has established a
study
program in geoinformatics since 2005 (originally with Prof. Leoš
Mervart), he
is the author of project GNU Gama and of a minor project GNU Sqltutor (both
hosted at GNU servers) and the editor in chief of Geoinformatics FCE CTU
journal.
