<div dir="ltr">Jody, I have to go so I don't have time to write more but this needs to be fixed instantly to avoid massive backlash against the new website. After so much effort it would be heartbreaking to have a negative reaction just because we would be perceived as providing advertising platform for projects which are not really free and open source (I guess we will hear more about this from Stallman tomorrow). <div><br></div><div>Helena<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 7:21 AM, Paulo van Breugel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:p.vanbreugel@gmail.com" target="_blank">p.vanbreugel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>When I use the link <a class="m_8238421439794344556moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/" target="_blank">http://osgeo.getinteractive.<wbr>nl/projects/</a>
directly, I am seeing the page with all projects, with projects in
what seems to be random order (and with some of the OSGEO
projects, like GRASS, on the last page). Only when I click on
'projects' in the menu am I presented with the projects grouped in
Osgeo projects, osgeo community, others. Wouldn't it be preferable
to use that page as landing page when using the link

<div>This is going to be an interesting week collecting feedback
when lots of the website is not working as designed quite yet
(examples tagging and sorting). To be fair the vast majority
of project descriptions were entered last weekend so this is
our first chance to try things out with actual content :)</div>

<br>
I'm following the new website and branding process a little
bit by the mailing lists.<br>
<br>
is there anywhere a documented discussion or a documented
and approved decision about how the project selection to be
listed on the OSGeo website is done? I can't find anyone.<br>
<br>
To be inclusive is one side; not to distinguish OSGeo
projects from other software projects from other initatives
(e.g. locationtech) or GIS vendors without any supplement
words in the OSGeo website, I'm feeling unconformable with
it.<br>
