December 2012
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish a collaborative relationship between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), with its main address at 14525 SW Millikan #42523, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-2343, United States of America, and the Geomatics Laboratory (GL) of Politecnico di Milano, Como Campus, with offices located in via Valleggio 11, 2nd floor, Como, 22100, Italy. Both parties to this MOU share the goal of developing collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in Italy. More into details, The OSGeo is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2006 whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open source geospatial technologies and data. In GL of Politecnico di Milano, Polo Territoriale di Como, a significant activity of research and development of open source GIS software and data is active from more than ten years.
This MOU shall remain in force for five years. Renews will be possible by written agreements between the Parties. The MOU will cover the following proposals and topics:
