[OSGeo-Discuss] Requesting services for librttopo

[Jody Garnett]

I would ask if the project would consider joining OSGeo as a community
project <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Community_Projects>? This
requirement is minimal, we want some assurance that your project is both
open source and open to collaboration.

Alex - are their any other projects we provide infrastructure for that we
can extend an invitation to?
