Line 17: The foundation is pursuing goals beyond [[software]] development, such as promoting more [[open access]] to [[government]] produced [[geospatial]] [[data]], which is a major problem outside of North America. Also [[education]] and training are addressed. Various committees within the foundation work on implementing the strategy. == Governance == The OSGeo is throughly community driven and has a leightweight organizational overhead consisting of 45 initial members and 9 directors. It is organized in more than 20 projects. Eight of these focus on software development projects (see above) or organizational matters like board issues, web site, visibility and promotion. Another main focus lies on furthering freedom and openness of access to [[Public Geodata]] and [[Education]]. All content is developed with the help of a [[Wiki]], [[Mailing Lists]] and [[IRC]]. ==External links== * [~~http~~https://www.osgeo.org/ Open Source Geospatial Foundation Site] * [http://wiki.osgeo.org/ OSGeo Wiki] * [https://geodata.osgeo.org/ Public Geodata Committee] * [https://edu.osgeo.org/ Education Committee].
