Giving back to the open source community and the world
As a part of giving back, we are supporting various open source projects and communities from OSGEO to FOSS4G. And we are planting trees to reduce our environmental footprint.
At Lutra Consulting, we’ve been on a mission to change perceptions of open source GIS systems, as we believe they are mature, well supported and affordable solutions to most organisations. By providing consultancy, training and support for QGIS integration, we have encouraged hundreds of clients to take on the benefits of open source GIS systems such as the flexibility of OGC data standards and cost-effectiveness. Over the years, we have built several core QGIS plugins and features such as 3D modelling, point cloud and cloud native processing and visualisation.
Since 2017, Lutra Consulting has been developing Mergin Maps, an open source field data collection tool for surveyors in a wide range of industries such as agriculture, telecommunications, ecology and habitat mapping. Mergin Maps is an application, platform and a plugin built on top of QGIS with the goal of taking QGIS to the field for mobile data collection.
