About the Italian OSGeo Chapter and GFOSS.it

The Italian OSGeo Local Chapter has been formally accepted by the OSGeo Board of Directors on the 7th September 2007 meeting.

The Italian OSGeo Local Chapter is based on the existing association "Associazione Italiana per l'Informazione Geografica Libera (Gfoss.it)".

GFOSS.it has been funded by the Italian GFOSS community during the 8th GRASS e GFOSS (Palermo, 14-16 febbraio 2007) annual meeting. The Italian community includes many professional, university and governative members with long national and international experience in the field of the Geomatic and in the free and open source.

The objectives of the GFOSS.it are:

Promote the development, the diffusion and the protection of the Free and Open Source Software for the geo-information.
Promote the Open Standards for the geo-information and the free access to geographic data.
Promote the contacts among developers and users within the community and among the community and external body.
Foster and coordinate the translation, localization and internationalization of software and documentation for the geo-information.
Promote relationships with other national and international associations, and with governative agencies and private companies.
