[OSGeo-Discuss] Is Your Project In OSGeo Labs?

[Ari Jolma]

Landon, others,

A comment on the name "OSGeo Labs". I just did a Google search with it 
and it brings up also the university laboratories that have been set up 
under the auspices of the ICA - OSGeo MoU. Thus it seems to mean two 
things, and it might be confusing - for example the Slashgeo.org tag 
"OSGeo Labs" is used for the university labs.

The software stewardship (or how would you call it) is managed by the 
incubation committee and the university laboratory network is managed 
by, hm, the Board (no, it's not managed by the education committee as 
one would guess). This might be just a naming issue but I think it is 
worth noting. But I also think that there could and probably should be 
collaboration between these two initiatives.

Regards,

Ari
