I agree that we should start listing associations that some projects
belong to, and we should do this in a generic way by changing our
overview template.
I was expecting that this would happen as part of the rebranding the
OSGeo web site is going through, which would also lead to an OSGeo-Live
documentation rebranding/redesign (this has already started for Geo4all)
This is a difficult task for the 11.0 release, we will need a team of
volunteers to use the new branding material and make the changes within
the next 2 weeks, before we reach documentation freeze (July 3rd).
Regards,
Angelos

Jody, happy to discuss how branding/logos etc can be updated (probably
for next release rather than this coming one).
However, it would be good to get the sponsors page up to date with
this release. If you can help with guiding what you see needs doing,
that would be appreciated.
Thanks Cameron

About OSGeo Incubating logo - I would like to change that to reflect
the "OSGeo Community" branding established last year. I can open a
bug ticket formally as incubation chair if you like. We also have new
OSGeo branding in the works if there is a chance to include that in
OSGeo Live.
The https://live.osgeo.org/en/sponsors.html page may need a sponsors
refresh (no longer called OSGeo Supporting Sponsors for example).
With respect to LocationTech and other organizations, I hope the new
website gives us a chance to write down formally how the organization
interact - in addition to some of the joint activities undertaken to
promote open source.
I should draw on your experience with osgeo live, - I would like to
list OSM and naturalearthdata.com <http://naturalearthdata.com>, but
i am not sure OSGeo (or OSGeo Live) has any formal relationship (or
just a tradition of promoting these great resources). Do you have any
details?

Marc, Jody,
As you have probably noticed, we have "OSGeo Incubated" and "OSGeo
Incubating" logos in our Project Overviews. I see a place for
"LocationTech Incubated" logos as well. However before introducing
LocationTech concepts on OSGeo-Live, I think it important to work
out how to explain these concepts easily to new users
(OSGeo-Live's primary target audience).
I think the relationship between OSGeo and LocationTech is unclear
to many who are unsure whether the two are competitors or
complementary. So if we add the LocationTech concept into
OSGeoLive, I think we need to help new (and existing) users by
referencing a few paragraphs saying:
"OSGeo is this, LocationTech is that". Defining "this and that"
needs to be jointly agreed upon, and I suspect will involve a long
public email thread. Hopefully less heated than prior discussions
on this topic.
Warm regards, Cameron

Tagging in Marc with his LocationTech hat on.
Marc you have been interested in having LocationTech projects
list themselves on OSGeo live. I have asked Cameron if the
projects could have the LocationTech logo as part of their
description.
Cameron I see a distinction between a company and a software
foundation here; I would like to recognize projects that are
bigger than a single company. I also note that QGIS has its own
foundation, so this may be a general pattern for the OSGeo Live
project to consider.

Hi Jody,
I'm open to considering changes future OSGeo-Live
documentation templates, (we don't have time for this 11.0
release). However, I'm very mindful that we need to make sure
that anything added to the template is something that would
be relevant to all projects. And something that we can
sustainably maintain. More importantly, how to you remove a
company that is not actively involved in a project any more
without causing a political storm?
As such, I don't think we should be adding company
contributors to Project Overviews.
Cheers, Cameron

This has nothing to do with sponsors, it is showing a
project organization. Similar to marking osgeo projects.

Which also reminds me that we need to update the
sponsors page...
