"GOSH" an expression of surprise or wonderment when we explain to people what we do and how we operate.

Global Open Source Holding LLC or GOSH LLC is a for profit organisation to be registered in Missouri:

The name GOSH is not decided - it's just an idea and easy way to refer to the organisation. The idea here, is to have Gosh - Missouri, Gosh - California, Gosh-Indonesia, Gosh-Botswana etc., replicable business templates that can be used to replicate the business anywhere in the world, taking account, of course, local conditions.
