Mission

The OSGeo System Administration Committee (SAC) manages computer systems operated by OSGeo. Responsibilities include:

• Develop published policies and procedures for managing systems, and system services.
• Solicit input from stakeholders on required system services, and to prioritize which to offer and when.
• Assign appropriate security and other responsibilities to administrators and users for access to systems.
• Ensure core OSGeo system services are well maintained, highly available and recoverable in case of system failure.
• Recommend system expenditures to the Board.
