<p>Wiki-Kbushway: /* Membership */</p> <hr /> <div>== Details ==<br /> <br /> OSGeo.US was started in 2018 with the mission to support and develops OSGeo Local Chapters, Projects, and Events in the United States. <br /> <br /> The initial funding for the groups activities were written into the FOSS4G Boston 2017 proposal, the goal was to start and support a local chapter in Boston once the conference was over. This goal was expanded once it became clear to [[user:gsteinmon|Guido Stein]], on of the founders, that there was a larger need across the nation to support these efforts.<br /> <br /> Currently, OSGeo.US is run as a program as a part of an existing Non-Profit organization called [http://www.technocation.org Technocation]. Technocation, who's mission is to provide education for IT Professional, is the legal entity that has a bank account and board of directors. The board of directors for Technocation act as the board for OSGeo.US, but OSGeo.US is it's own community. As this chapter moves forward a more formal relationship and governance will be created.<br /> <br /> Day to day operations and matters will be handled by the President of Technocation with the direction and advice of the community and the board.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Organization website:''' http://osgeo.us OSGeo.US&lt;br/&gt;<br /> '''Discussion list:''' http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/OSGeo-US-Local-Chapter-f5363954.html<br /> <br /> === How to request support ===<br /> <br /> OSGeo.US has financial and technical capacity to support Local Chapter formations and operations within the US through mini-grants and consultation.
