OSGEO draws governance inspiration from several aspects of the [http://www.apache.org/ Apache Foundation], including a membership composed of individuals drawn from foundation projects. The initial membership consists of the five board members plus 16 other participants who attended the meeting.  The target of 45 members is being established through a public nomination process from the wider open source geospatial community. Each nominated person shall be recognized due to her/his contribution in terms of software, documentation, translation or other. From the list of nominations, 24 members will be elected by the current members.

Die OSGeo Foundation ist in ihrer Ausrichtung vergleichbar mit der Apache Software Foundation, die sich um die Entwicklung der Software, aber auch um die Belange der Entwickler und der Anwenderschaft kümmert. Die zentralen Aufgaben der OSGeo liegen in der Förderung der Kooperation zwischen den einzelnen Projekten, der Schaffung einer rechtlichen Vertretung für Entwickler und Anwender, der Bereitstellung gemeinsam genutzter Infrastruktur sowie, nicht zuletzt, im Aufbau einer professionellen Vertretung der Open Source Bewegung. Die Foundation wird im ersten Jahr von Autodesk mit 250.000 US$ unterstützt.
