The '''Open Source Geospatial Foundation''' ('''OSGeo'''), is a [[non-profit]] [[non-governmental organization]] whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open [[geospatial]] [[technology|technologies]] and data. The foundation was formed in February 2006 to provide financial, organizational and legal support to the broader [[Free Software|Libre/Free]] and [[Open-source-software movement|open-source]] geospatial community.<ref>{{cite press release|date=March 6, 2006|title=Open Source Geospatial Foundation Created to Strengthen Collaborative Development of Open Geospatial Technologies|url=http://www.osgeo.org/content/news/news_archive/open_source_geospatial_foundation_initial_press_release.html.html|publisher=OSGeo|access-date=2017-01-09|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225151219/http://www.osgeo.org/content/news/news_archive/open_source_geospatial_foundation_initial_press_release.html.html|archive-date=December 25, 2016}}</ref> It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources.
OSGeo draws governance inspiration from several aspects of the [[Apache Foundation]], including a membership composed of individuals drawn from foundation projects who are selected for membership status based on their active contribution to foundation projects and governance.
The foundation pursues goals beyond software development, such as promoting more [[Open data|open access]] to government produced geospatial data,
