 == History of foss4g.org domain name ==
-The foss4g.org (and grass-japan.org) domain was registered to make available to the public the outcome of the project on Internationalization of GRASS5.0 and MapServer. The project was funded by IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan). The project was carried in cooperation between Orkney Inc. and Osaka City University (OCU). Apart from software internationalization (i18n), OCU was also responsible for testing, preparation of test data, sample applications and implementation and management of the portal site. The main portal site was made available at www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/ and also www.grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/

The main portal site was made available at [https://www.foss4g.org/ www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/] and also [https://grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/ www.grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/]
 The domains were registered with [[Venkatesh Raghavan]] (aka Venka) and Shinji Masumoto of Osaka City University, Japan in 2003 and the project portal site went online in March 2004. Venkatesh Raghavan (aka Venka) and Shinji Masumoto agreed to donate the foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo on 3rd October 2007 with the understanding that there will be no restrictions on the free usage of the FOSS4G acronym for the legitimate purpose of promoting Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics. Subsequent to the transfer of foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo, it was used as a domain name for FOSS4G events since FOSS4G2008 held in Cape Town, South Africa.
