# FOSSGIS projects

**Task:** We will collect information on four very popular FOSSGIS projects. To work on the same document, we will work with a shared online editor: [hackmd: Shared markdown editor](https://hackmd.io/@chludwig/S1IqMJ_tw)

This is an overview of **four FOSSGIS projects**.

**Group task:** Form **4 groups.** Find information about your group's FOSSGIS project and collect it below. You may start your search at the [OSGeo Live Website](https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html).

**Note:** Please format links to the webpage, documentation, etc. using the Markdown format, e.g. [github.com](https://github.com/)
→ Refer to this [GitHub Markdown guide](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) or [Markdown Guide](https://www.markdownguide.org/) to learn more about it.
