Tyler,

They are a sort of university/commercial cross-over developing open
source geospatial software.  I haven't followed their activities closely,
but they have been around for a couple years and are doing various good
work.  I think it would be best to see them as an organization for
sharing cost and results of software development between multiple
organizations.

I imagine Arnulf could give more details.

It may be that at some point a more explicit cooperation with 52North
and OSGeo would be appropriate.

Best regards,
