 The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is an international not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies and data.

 OSGeo has attracted a large on-line international community who work collaboratively to further the cause of open source and open data as it relates to spatial information.
 The Australia – New Zealand local chapter of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo-AustNZ) aims to further OSGeo's goal's and act as it's local representative within the Australian and New Zealand region.
@@ Line 24: / Line 23: @@
 The community is proving to be an effective way to break down the traditional barriers that exist between different levels of government, research organisations and private enterprise. It is also encouraging to see an increasing degree of cooperation and cross fertilisation between Australian and New Zealand organisations.
-== Scope ==
+=== Scope ===
 The OSGeo-AustNZ community welcomes any individual with interest in open source spatial.
+=== Mission ===
 OSGeo-AustNZ establishes a focal point for liaison, outreach, and technical interests within the Australian and New Zealand Region. We also welcome interest from our neighbours, so please don't feel excluded.
 The chapter is primarily organised around our [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/aust-nz mailing list.] Discussions can be quite lively and have attracted a who's who of 'spatial' both nationally and internationally.
