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 [[
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
==Governance==
The OSGeo Foundation is community driven and has an organizational structure consisting of elected members and nine directors, including the president.<ref name="board" /> Software projects have their own governance structure, by requirement. ''see [
