Introducing OSGeo

OSGeo is a non-profit organization created to support and build the highest-quality Open Source geospatial software.

The foundation provides financial, organizational, and legal support to the broader Open Source geospatial community.

It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit.

Summary

Local Chapters are the most important aspect of OSGeo

The Incubation process is a highly useful and accepted tool to doublecheck, create and maintain quality software

OSGeo Software is recognized as a quality brand

New projects emerge between mature existing OSGeo products and link back to mainstream IT

OSGeo is here to stay!

...something is missing!

What is Missing?

Data!

What's Missing?

Data!

Why is that?

Because Data is perceived as a property...as if it were a material thing. Something to sit on in a way that no one else can sit on it.This perception is wrong .

Besitz!

Eigentum!

The Nature of Software is Immaterial

Software is immaterial! It is not matter & not physical!

As such it can be copied at a very low cost.

This is a phenomenal feature because it multiplies by giving away. This is a foreign concept in a material world.

Software is the only good that only grows by giving it away!

Software is untouchable& Data

The Nature of Software is Immaterial

Software can be copied and transported usingTape, Floppy disk, Hard disk, Memory Stick & Card, iPo/ad

But: OSGeo is Truly Globalized

Therefore OSGeo respects Local Rules and Regulations and Laws and Limitations. OSGeo's Vision is free software and data for a better world

OSGeo's Mission is to Educate why this makes Sense

OSGeo's Goal is to make Spatial Data Accessible

You can join efforts, whether as data Provider, User or Advocate
