Business means being busy sometimes with the connotion of making money. If you need to know more precisely you might want to check the Wikipedia article on Business and please always consider viewing it from several perspectives to thoroughly understand.

OSGeo and Business

OSGeo is not a business club. Instead it aims at being a not-for-profit[1] organization. Nonethesless a lot of the software, training and geospatial data is produced, maintained and enhanced by commercial enterprises. Services are offered around Free Software and Open Source for pay, which again is a commercial activity.

= OSGeo's Service Provider Directory

To make information about service providers more accessible to potential users and businesses OSGeo maintains a Service Provider Directory. Feel free to add your services or company to this directory or use it to search for service providers near your location or with special skills you are in need for.


[1] ...which is a stupid conflict in English legal talk because obviouly everybody makes a profit from OSGeo's existence.
