“…Open Source Software (OSS) is a major topic in computer sciences (Braught et al, 2018;Faber, 2002;Nandigam, Gudivada, & Hamou-Lhadj, 2008;O'Hara & Kay, 2003) and in geospatial science education (Mitasova, Shukunobe, Landa, & Kratochvilova, 2012;Osaci-Costache, Cocos, & Cocos, 2017;Petras, Petrasova, Harmon, Meentemeyer, & Mitasova, 2015). Petras et al (2015, p. 943) point out, integration of free and open source software in geospatial science education is necessary "to encourage a culture of openness and, thus, enable greater reproducibility in research and development applications."…”
