Hey Jachym, maybe that was a misunderstanding. Yes, OSGeo focuses on software but we also have an official geodata committee (sometimes called Public Geodata, sometimes Open Geodata): http://www.osgeo.org/content/projects/geodata.html
It is not active currently but there have been some activities like signing an Open Letter regarding the INSPIRE Directive and signing an amicus brief for an open data court case in California (2012): https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Seattle_2012 OSGeo supports and partners with OpenStreetMap in several events, some local chapters support both organizations (like FOSSGIS e.V. in Germany, currently discussing whether to also become an official OSMF local chapter). So yes, some things have been going on but less actively and maybe more on a reactive basis. Kind of: If somebody approaches OSGeo with a good cause we are happy to support it. And Open Data is always a topic on FOSS4G conferences.
