OSGeo Memoranda of Understanding

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a common synonym for a letter of intent. MoUs are typically signed by parties with a common interest but so far little organizational contacts. It is intended as a signal to the outside and broader community and can over time become the foundation for closer cooperation.
