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.
