I'm following the new website and branding process a little bit by the mailing lists.

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.

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.

Kind regards
