>/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_Code_Sprint<wbr>#Website_Training] for any one attending foss4g).<br>
<br>
I'm following the new website and branding process a little bit by the mailing lists.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
