OSGeo establishes a European legal foundation

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has established a legal foundation in Europe. The founding documents were signed yesterday. The new entity, Stichting Open Source Geospatial, has its statutory seat in Wageningen and operates under the OSGeo name and mission. It gives the foundation a legal presence in the European Union alongside its existing entity in the United States.
