A new petition is now online, the Topic – “Open Access to State-Collected Geospatial Data”. The creators of the initiative state the following: “We are collecting signatures from spatial data users and GIS software developers worldwide to help demonstrate broad support for open access to geodata policies.” So far they have collected more than 150 names.
