Thanks for this.

Markus, Tom - could i get your help for this. I got few more volunteers interested to help this. I can connect you all and if you can get this setup  in OSGeo Wiki, it will be great.

The input has to a simple form , the url of which can be send to everyone (max 10 fields) .

This initiative will help OSGeo Foundation strongly position its lead role in the future and also encourage organisations to contribute back to the community which is key for long term sustainability of the different projects.

So I request volunteers to help us produce a simple webform which can be outputted to  a website with search facilities etc for collating information that will help all business and government organisations to produce [their] annual open source report card. We will also link this website with GeoForAll website and archive it etc.

+1

Yes!
