 == History of foss4g.org domain name ==
-The foss4g.org (and grass-japan.org) domain was registered to make available to the public the outcome of the project on Internationalization of GRASS5.0 and MapServer. The project was funded by IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan). The project was carried in cooperation between Orkney Inc. and Osaka City University (OCU). Apart from software internationalization (i18n), OCU was also responsible for testing, preparation of test data, sample applications and implementation and management of the portal site.

Venkatesh Raghavan (aka Venka) and Shinji Masumoto agreed to donate the foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo on 3rd October 2007 with the understanding that there will be no restrictions on the free usage of the FOSS4G acronym for the legitimate purpose of promoting Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics. Subsequent to the transfer of foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo, it was used as a domain name for FOSS4G events since FOSS4G2008 held in Cape Town, South Africa.

 === Using the Name FOSS4G ===
-FOSS4G is not registered as a trademark but has a long tradition of being used in the context of Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. The domain was originally registered by [[Venkatesh Raghavan]] (Venka) who later graciously [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference_dev/2007-August/000379.html donated] it to OSGeo - under the condition that using the name should stay open to anybody who does something reasonably related to Free and Open Source Geospatial.
