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

[Maria Antonia Brovelli]

Dear Ian
Please I kindly ask you to moderate your tone.  I know that you have been doing  a lot and all of us we warmly thank you. But please consider that also many other people have been putting a lot of energies in OSGeo. Helmut is one of these people.
Probably you don't know him but this is just because the community is large and there are people committed on different projects.
Thanks a lot for helping having a discussion frank and,  at the the time, kind.
Cheers
Maria

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.

This is an interesting question, especially as LocationTech is
against GPL-licensed projects (like GRASS, QGIS, PostGIS)
