As a strong contributor to the OpenStreetMap (OSM) platform, OMDTZ offers a map and database of geographic data that is accessible to all for free. With a volunteer network and partnerships with various institutions, OMDTZ advocates for the use of open-source software in universities, government agencies, and other public and private institutions. The aim is to create a community that utilizes and develops freeware for social development, reducing reliance on expensive proprietary software.
