The Open Source Geospatial Foundation has been created to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial software. The foundation's goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects.
The WhereGroup supports OSGeo on a number of levels, including the development of the Mapbender software, provision of documentations, presentations and training material. We also sponsor the annual FOSSGIS conference.
