Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Remember a little while ago when Mapserver and AutoDesk's MapGuide congealed into the Mapserver Foundation? Well now there's an even bigger umbrella group called the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, including not only Mapserver and MapGuide, but GRASS, GDAL, and OSSIM. Other big open source projects like PostGIS and QGIS don't seem to have joined yet, but maybe later. Hopefully this will bring about better consistency and interoperability across the world of open source GIS software. You can read about this at Directions Magazine
