Jachym, to clarify: any organization should be able to advertise their
services for an OSGeo project, whether they are a non-profit or a
research entity or a private company etc. That is how my proposal
avoids separating OSGeo organizations by size.

Hi Jeff (all)
currently, the page is listing "service providers" - it's project
oriented (as providing services to projects)
your proposal is shifting it little bit to "all organisations", not even
service providing - but what is their releationship to the (osgeo)
projects? - still, it would be fine to me
I would be +1 for it, if it's does not hit to some other principle,
already hardcoded in the page (e.g.
http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/initiatives/geo-for-all/ is partly
coreving the Academic/Research topic - just an example of potencial
conflict, which we could oversee)
I do not know, just noting, I have no strong opinion - I want to be
inclusive, all for adding another categories, but the rules and
principals should be clear. Currently, how I understand it "you can be
listed as long as you are providing services to projects"

Hi Jody,
Regarding separating the OSGeo community by size, I suggest that we
avoid offending our community members, so let's stay positive and make
the following change:
I recommend that we/OSGeo change the "Organization Type" section to
contain the following 4 options:
1. Private
2. Academic/Research
3. Public/Government
4. Non-profit
The same 4 options should be applied to the options in the "Filter"
search on the site for "Service Provider Type".
Thanks.
Jachym: you did a great job on the OpenGeoLabs page, and thanks for
supporting OSGeo all of these years :)
