Very proud to announce the big MS4W 5.2.0 release (security release, with all libraries upgraded): ms4w.com/ That popular SDI for Windows in a zipfile (OGC services: OGCAPI, WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW, SOS, etc), running MapServer, Mapbender, GeoMoose, pycsw, with Apache, PHP & all libraries compiled by hand (rare, in 2026, I know). Happy MapServ-ing! #foss4g

Did you know? The open-source geospatial world is booming — and the OSGeo community has built some of the most powerful tools for maps, analysis, databases, and geoportals. 🗺️ Here’s a quick guide to four major categories of OSGeo tools that every geo-professional, student, or tech enthusiast should know 👇 🧭 WEB MAPPING TOOLS The engines that publish your geospatial data online: 🌐 GeoServer – Publish & style spatial data as OGC services (WMS/WFS/WCS). ⚡ MapServer – High-performance web map rendering engine. 🗺️ OpenLayers – JavaScript library to build interactive maps in the browser. 🗃️ GEOPORTALS Platforms that let you organize, share, and manage maps & data: 🧩 GeoNode – A full geo-CMS (think “WordPress for maps”) with data, metadata, users & permissions. 🧭 Mapbender – Build web GIS apps with no coding — just configure & go. 🧭 MapGuide Open Source – Powerful web mapping platform for custom geoportals. 💻 DESKTOP GIS Your all-in-one GIS workbenches: 🧠 QGIS – The most popular open-source desktop GIS: editing, analysis, cartography, plugins galore. 🌿 GRASS GIS – Advanced geospatial modeling, raster processing, terrain & environmental tools. 🏔️ SAGA GIS – Lightweight but strong in terrain & hydrological analysis. 🗄️ SPATIAL DATABASES The backbone of any enterprise GIS — storing & querying spatial data: 🏛️ PostGIS – Spatial extension of PostgreSQL, enabling advanced spatial SQL queries, analysis & storage. 📦 SpatiaLite – Lightweight SQLite with spatial functions, great for mobile & offline GIS apps. 📚 All of these are part of the OSGeo ecosystem — a global community building free and open-source software for geospatial. 🔖 Save this post. 💬 Share it with a geo-nerd. 💡 Tell me in the comments: Which one do you use the most?

Heute ist es soweit. Verpassen Sie nicht das nächste @FOSS_Academy Webseminar zum Thema @Mapbender. 01. August 2024 | 10.00 - 11.00 Uhr: Aufbau einer WebGIS-Anwendung mit #Mapbender  foss-academy.com/web-seminar… #fossgis #osgeo #foss4g

Ein kleines Videotutorial wie man #Mapbender auf #Ubuntu installiert. Danke an die @WhereGroup_com für das tolle WebGIS. youtu.be/NoPUuoPCB98?si=3kMO…

#Mapbender now has a Docker integration and an official Docker repository on Docker Hub hub.docker.com/r/mapbender/m… There is also a documentation on the use of Mapbender Docker containers github.com/mapbender/mapbend… #FOSS4G #FOSSGIS #OSGeo #WebGIS #Geoportal

#Mapbender #QGIS Plugin QGIS2Mapbender is now available. The plugin allows to publish QGIS desktop projects as OGC WMS in just a few steps & at the same time load the WMS into a Mapbender application. Read more at wheregroup.com/blog/details/… #FOSS4G #FOSSGIS #OSGeo

The example applications are yaml files on your server. You find them at config/applications/. Just go there and remove the files or edit each file and set published: false. Delete the Mapbender cache afterwards.
