        <description>The National Land Survey of Finland has made a strategic decision to pursue increased use of open source solutions in its activities. We’ve been an active user of FOSS4G solutions for more than a decade. Further, we created an open source mapping framework Oskari, which has an active user and developer community. In autumn 2020, the National Land Survey of Finland made a major decision to build our new topographic data production system on open source components, such as QGIS and PostgreSQL/PostGIS. The decision has raised a few eyebrows and a lot of interest among other national mapping agencies as well as other institutions using geospatial software. This talk will discuss on what grounds we made such a decision, how we are progressing with the implementation, how we are looking at engaging in collaboration with open source communities, and most importantly, why every public sector organization should consider the benefits that can be gained by using and investing in open solutions., Jani Kylmäaho https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2022/talk/TJ3GWK/ #foss4g2022 #generaltrack #TransitiontoFOSS4G</description>
