CUGOS The Cascadia chapter of the OSGeo is based on a regional FOSS GIS user group formed in 2007 called Cascadia Users of Geospatial Open Source (CUGOS). We are an active group of members who are passionate about open source software, GIS, and our region. We have members from all walks of life, a large spectrum of business and academia, and active OSGeo members (board members, charter members, and active project participants). 3 Z-Pulley Inc Z-Pulley Inc 3

MISSION The OSGeo Cascadia Chapter strives to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The Chapter is focused on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States as well as Southern British Columbia. The group hosts meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members. 4 Z-Pulley Inc Z-Pulley Inc 4
