OSGeo Mission
To support the collaborative development of open source
geospatial software, and promote its widespread use.
OSGeo Goals
Infrastructure support ( hosting ,legal, incubation,etc.) Promote freely available geodata, open standards, standards-based
interoperability ( OGC standards) Promote the use of open source software in the geospatial industry. Education Project quality Software accessibility ( Cross platform binaries) World-wide development with cross-platform and cross-language
( C, Java,Python, etc.) cooperation Outreach Recognition of contributors
OSGeo Project Incubation Purpose
Successfully operating open and collaborative development community
Clear IP oversight of code base Adopt OSGeo Principles and operating principles Mentored through the incubation process

Outreach Annual International Conference - FOSS4G - http://foss4g.org/
Locally organized conference in September which rotates
continents every year on a 3 year rotation. Traditionally North America, Europe, and one of the other continents. FOSS4G 2015 is planned for Seoul, South Korea, http://2015.foss4g.org/ . Locations are chosen from bids from host counties/locations.
Regional conferences can be organized in the years that the main FOSS4G conference does not occur on that continent. FOSS4G North America (FOSS4G-NA) 2015 http://2015.foss4g.org/ , is planned for San Francisco, CA March 9 -12.
All conferences using the OSGeo name must coordinate with the OSGeo conference committee, http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee
Recognition
During the Annual FOSS4G conference, the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software is presented to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the Geospatial Free and Open Source Software Community.
