OpenGeo

We are pleased to announce the launch of GeoNode.org, the official website of the GeoNode project.

The GeoNode project is a partnership between the World Bank’s CAPRA initiative, OpenGeo, and other organizations from around the world.  Our aim is to take the principles and practices of openness which have empowered the modern web, and use them to build a spatial data infrastructure solution appropriate for large NGO’s and government agencies.

The GeoNode is both an organizational partnership and an open source software project, built on the familiar projects of our OpenGeo Stack (GeoServer, OpenLayers, GeoExt, etc.) as well as Django and GeoNetwork.  After several months of incubation and prototyping, GeoNode.org is the kick off to our new focus on the GeoNode community.  Look there for the latest news on GeoNode technology, partnerships, and community resources.
