+In 1997, development was taken over by Baylor University (Waco, Texas) for
+a period, then it migrated to University of Hannover (Germany) where the
+first European GRASS Web site was opened in 1998. The GRASS Development Team
+grew into a multi-national team consisting of developers at numerous locations.
+In 2001, the GRASS Web site was moved to ITC-irst (Trento, Italy).
+<p>
+In February 2006, the <a href="http://www.osgeo.org">Open Source Geospatial Foundation</a>
+(OSGeo) has been created to support and promote worldwide use and collaborative development
+of Open Source geospatial technologies and data. It includes GRASS as
+one of its founding projects. Since 2008, the GRASS infrastructure (Web-site, mailing lists,
+bugtracker) runs at OSGeo.
