I'd like to formally invite all projects that are on the Live* to become
at minimum OSGeo Labs projects to encourage their participation in OSGeo
and make a soft rule that being an OSGeo Project, Incubation Project or
Labs project is the only way to guarantee a spot on the disc (note
becoming a labs project is really easy). Now that we've reached our
current size we can't just keep adding, as it won't fit on common media
beyond what we've got and there needs to be some way to pick, filter,
and trim.

We should work more with the Board on this idea of approaching projects
to strengthen ties to OSGeo.

Thanks,
Alex
