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|
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,
==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 [https://www.osgeo.org/about/faq/#Projects_Joining_the_Foundation FAQ]''. The OSGeo community [[Collaboration|collaborates]] via a [[Wiki]], [[Mailing List]]s and [[IRC]].

==Events==
Line 101 ⟶ 106:
OSGeo runs an annual international conference called [http://foss4g.org FOSS4G] – Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. Starting as early as 2006, this event has drawn over 1100 attendees (2017 Boston) and the tendency is to increase this number every year. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. The FOSS4G ribbon, part of every FOSS4G event logo, symbolizes the flow of ideas, innovation, and sharing within the Open Source geospatial community. The event history dates back to an important face-to-face meeting of the 3 original founders of the event (Venkatesh Raghavan, Markus Neteler, and Jeff McKenna), who met initially in Bangkok Thailand in 2004, and planned to create a new annual event for the whole Open Source geospatial community, with the event named "[[FOSS4G]]"; the event would go on to help change the history of the geospatial industry.
There are also many regional and local events following this [[FOSS4G]] philosophy.
==Community==
The OSGeo community is composed of participants from everywhere in the world. {{As of|
