[OSGeo-Discuss] Note the LocationTech badge is not showing correctly

[Ian Turton]

When we met up in Chicago to set up OSGEO the desire was to be as inclusive
as possible. I donate alot of time to OSGEO when I could be doing something
fun like coding and I'm getting fed up with charter members popping up on
the mailing lists and complaining about stuff that they haven't done
anything about.

I want people to come to the OSGEO website to find out about any and all
open source spatial software, if this worries you then please work to make
your software better rather than trying to avoid the competition or go and
set up another website that matches your dreams of how the world should be.

Just for clarity and background. We announced the project form on discuss
and imported the results/submissions of that form. There hasn't been any
process other than that up to now.

For the record, I'm very much in favor of a "big tent" approach. If a
software had an OSI approved license and deals with geospatial data, I
believe it should have "some" place on our site. This is the approach that
FOSS4G takes and I believe it is very successful for that very reason.

I think we can pretty easily establish a set of criteria that can be used
to make this determination. Whatever approach we take, we should be very
clear what the criteria are.

Glad to be having this discussion.
