The Italian Language OSGeo Local Chapter was formally accepted by the  
OSGeo Board of Directors at the September 7, 2007 meeting [1] and it  
is based on the existing association "Associazione Italiana per  
l'Informazione Geografica Libera (Gfoss.it)".

GFOSS.it was founded by the Italian GFOSS community during the 8th  
GRASS e GFOSS (Palermo, February 14-16, 2007) annual meeting. The  
Italian community includes many professional, university and  
government members with long national and international experience in  
the field of the Geomatics and Free and Open Source Software.

Italian Local Chapter mission is to respect OSGeo Guidelines [2] on  
local chapters and continue supporting all Italian Community  
contributions [3] to FOSS GIS community. Main goal is that of the  
OSGeo Foundation: to encourage the use and collaborative development  
of community-led projects.

Currently the Italian community accounts for about 60 members and 300  
mailing list subscribers.
