== Einführung in das Wiki der Open Source Geospatial Foundation ==
Dieses Wiki ist der Arbeitsbereich der Open Source Geospatial Foundation. Alle offiziellen Dokumente und Inhalte finden Sie auf den offiziellen Webseiten der OSGeo. Dieses Wiki ist mehrbenutzerfähiger Arbeitsbereich für Dokumente und Notizen der OSGeo Komitees, Diskussionen über Software Projekte sowie Vorschläge und Ideen aller Art.
Auf der Seite Getting Started findet sich eine Einführung in die verschiedenen Kommunikationswerkzeuge der OSGeo. Im Bereich Local Chapters findet sich eine Liste der Gruppen und Organisationen, die sich einer Region oder Sprache zuordnen. Es gibt eine Viezahl von Mailing Listen für Diskussionen aller Art. Es gibt eine Seite der Kontakte zu allen Projekten und Funktionsträgern.
Die OSGeo hat eine offizielle, legale Struktur, die Bewegung selbst ist aber wesentlich größer. Alle sind herzlich willkommen mitzumachen, legen Sie einfach hier im Wiki ein Benutzerkonto an und tragen Sie ein paar Informationen über sich ein. Diese Form der Mitgliedschaft ist an keine Bedingungen geknüpft, steht allen offen und ist kostenfrei. 
Seit November 2006 ist Tyler Mitchell Executive Director der OSGeo. Er wurde durch das Board of Directors ausgewählt und ist derzeit der einzige Vollzeit beschäftigte Mitarbeiter und kümmert sich um formale Dinge, hält Vorträge auf Konferenzen, koordiniert den Auftritt der OSGeo und springt ein, wenn das Freiwilligen-Konzept nicht tragfähig ist. Tyler Mitchell's Blog gibt einen Einblick in seine Tätigkeiten. 
== Komitees ==
Die offizielle Struktur der OSGeo ist in Komitees abgebildet. Komitees sind Arbeitsgruppen, die bereits ein Zeit bestehen und bestimmte Aufgaben in der OSGeo übernommen haben. Alle sind eingeladen sich aktiv in Arbeitsgruppen und Komitees zu beteiligen. Um formales Mitglied zu werden kann man für ein Komitee vorgeschlagen und anschließend gewählt werden. Damit einher geht die Verpflichtung, sich aktiv zu beteiligen. Alle Komitees kommunizieren über offene Mailing Listen und treffen sich regelmäßig in IRC Kanälen, z.B. #osgeo und halten bei Bedarf Telefon-Konferenzen.
Der Foundation Calendar gibt einen Überblick über einige der Besprechungszeiten. Weitere Informationen zu den Komitees finden sie auf den entsprechenden Wiki-Seiten. 
Informelle Teilnahme an allen Komitees über die Mailing Listen, dieses Wiki und Besprechungen im IRC oder per Telefon ist explizit erwünscht!
