Bild zeigt einen Text zum Thema schon gewußt, im Rahmen der Social Media Kampagne zum 25. Jubiläum. Ein oranges Dreieck enthält das FOSSGIS-Vereinslogo sowie den Schriftzug 25. Jahre, ein weiteres Dreieck symbolisiert das OSM-Grün und das andere das OSGeo-grün. Im Text steht: Der FOSSGIS e.V. war ursprünglich die GRASS-Anwendervereinigung e.V. (GAV) Auch wenn die GAV in ihrer ursprünglichen Form nicht mehr existiert, hat sie entscheidend zur Verbreitung Freier GIS-Software in Deutschland beigetragen. Ihre Initiativen und ihr Engagement haben den Grundstein für die heutige FOSSGIS e.V. sowie die starke Verankerung von Open-Source-GIS-Lösungen in Deutschland gelegt. Die Impulse aus der GAV wirken bis heute weiter und haben die Landschaft der Geoinformatik nachhaltig geprägt. (Zitat aus Wiki: https://www.fossgis.de/wiki/GRASS-Anwender-Vereinigung_e.V.) sowie das damalige Logo der GAV zu sehen ist.
