Abstract

The presentation gives an introduction to the three communities in the spatial software realm and how they relate; The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the OpenStreetMap project (OSM).

Reading OGC's history shows that it was initiated by the GRASS People who started off with a foundation, the OGF.
