Origins of the projectIn 2003 CIT decides to migrate to Free Software (gvPONTIS), why?
Better usage of incoming budgetPromote local industryTechnology independence
At this time, no free CAD or GIS availableLaunch a brand new projectFrom a local to a global project

New organizational structureThe project is growing really fastIt needs a better organizational structure to:
Assure the future and independence of the projectGet involved more companies and administrationsConnect with other (geo) organizations
Working projects in that contextCreate a translation and documentation portalPromote a repository for contributionsCollaborative testing
