OpenPlans currently has a staff of 20 people. The organization was founded in 1999 by Mark Gorton,[2] the creator of LimeWire.[3] FundingThe organisation has received funding from Google, Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, Knight Foundation, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), SURDNA Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank and others.[4] ProjectsOpenPlans organises its activities into a number of divisions or projects. OpenGeoOpenGeo, now Boundless, was the geospatial division of OpenPlans supporting the development of a number of open-source software packages for the geospatial analysis, management and publication of geospatial information; these include PostGIS, GeoServer, GeoWebCache, GeoExt, and OpenLayers. In April 2013, OpenGeo took on investment and spun out from OpenPlans to establish itself as an independent company.[5] In September 2013, the company changed its name to Boundless, creating a new corporate brand to better reflect the growing range of platforms, applications (now including QGIS), and services the company develops and sells.[6] StreetfilmsThe Streetfilms project produces and publishes short films advocating transportation design and public policy. About 400 videos have been produced which have been watched over 4 million times.[7] These films are normally published using a creative commons license. Their most popular videos including a piece about the Ciclovia in Bogota where streets are made into carfree facilities every Sunday. Such events now take place in many places around the world (180,000 views)[8] and on Physically Separated Bike Lanes (111,000 views).[9] In 2010 at a time when New York city was planning to implement 20 mph speed limits Streetfilms produced a short video of the experience of 20 mph speed limits in the UK where 3 million people already live in 20 mph speed limit areas.[10][11] Streetfilms was started by Clarence Eckerson[12] in 2004[13] with support from Mark Gorton.[14] StreetsBlogStreetsblog is a project run by OpenPlans providing a daily news source connecting people to information about sustainable transportation and livable communities. StreetsBlog started in 2006 and has 'hundreds of thousands' of regular readers.[15] Since March 2013 the Streetsblog runs a "Parking Madness" tournament. 16 downtowns are nominated and a head to head contests are run through the month with readers deciding which city has built the most parking in their downtown. The winners are awarded the "Golden Crater."
