Ciao Margherita,
I'm not sure who added the idea under the OSGeo page. After receiving
feedback directly from Google we decided to list it under OSM, as we
may get a better chance of getting it accepted.
We discussed with Angelos and Cameron and it sounds like it is fine
for them to mentor outside of OSGeo. Unless of any objection or
concern I would remove it from the OSGeo page and leave it in OSM.
Cheers,
Cristiano
