[OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal for the listing of projects in our new web site

[Jeff McKenna]

Jachym, to clarify: any organization should be able to advertise their 
services for an OSGeo project, whether they are a non-profit or a 
research entity or a private company etc.  That is how my proposal 
avoids separating OSGeo organizations by size.
