Project Steering Committee
Mapbender’s design and development has been in the hands of a competent team of staunch open source enthusiasts for over 15 years now. The development is led by the Mapbender Project Steering Committee (PSC). The committee is made up of experienced software developers and experienced GIS experts who come together to form a powerful team which ensures that Mapbender remains the first choice for open source WebGIS and certified OSGeo projects in the future.
