[OSGeo-Discuss] are3na catalog requires software publisher statement

[Dirk Frigne]

Thank you Paul, for your mail.
I also think this is a great opportunity!

If we want to make OSGeo a strong brand, maybe we should consider to use
OSGeo.org (or even better OSGeo.eu) to use as publisher.

As an alternative, if the project has a foundation, we could use that as
the publisher.
As the catalog is quite a reference in Europe, we should consider to add
an OSGeo project which links to all the published OSGeo projects, if
this is possible. On this 'overview project' we probably can mention the
OSGeo-live project.

just my 2c
