OSGeo has a mandate to support open source spatial; one of the ways it does so
is by helping projects go through an incubation process (resulting a nice logo
and some assurance that the project is in fact open source and spatial).
The live dvd is another part of promoting open source spatial.

All,
I guess it comes down to the argument of whether OSGEO stands for a state of
mind, or should it be considered a brand only, not to be sullied by all those
unwarmed projects? Move over Apple, there's a new brand in town . . .
:c)

At the risk of sounding like a troll, why are we putting non-OSGeo
projects on OSGeo marketing material? If this is in fact the purpose of
the Live-DVD, then the best way of identifying 2 or 3 of the best
packages available for users to trial is to only include 2 or 3 of the
best packages on t
Since this is an OSGeo-based CD, presumably with the OSGeo logo all over it in
various places, I'd suggest there are only three kinds of projects:
- those which are "Approved by OSGeo"
- those which are "Undergoing OSGeo Approval"
- everything else
With two simple logos you can indicate proje
There have been some passionate views against rating projects.
Maybe I should start by explaining the drivers which led to the proposal
for a 5 star rating.
Previously only OSGeo graduated and incubation projects were promoted by
OSGeo at conferences and the like, however, with the OSGeo Live

This has been asked for before, but historically some projects have not step up
to the plate for providing such materials - for a variety of reasons, some good
and some not so good.
OSGeo should simply put a link to the project's "marketing"
All,
Did anyone else hear that thunder in the distance? :c)
That's what I've been trying to say, let the projects handle this sort of thing
themselves, but OSGEO CAN (and SHOULD in my mind) coordinate a standardized
look and feel to such things.

Things like Services, vs Desktop, vs Web Frameworks don't seem to be defined

Same here, I would also lik to compare all Javascript like things with other
javascript like projects for example.
I'm not sure what the best approach to this type of thing either, but the

BTW, I wouldn't agree with many of the ratings.
All the best.

Hi,
I was trying to send a question to the wms-dev list
(http://lists.eogeo.org/pipermail/wms-dev/ ), but It seems to be
inactive. I am wondering if someone knows where would it be appropriate
to send questions regarding WMS specification.
Thanks

All,
Close, but it's still got the five star thing, which I have to admit is
missleading. Also, where are the criteria that were used to arrive at
those star ratings? . . . I mean is that a popularity metirc? In
relation to other projects, or simple number of downloads, etc.
Also, the only w

All,
Instead of a 5 star rating, what about using a small standardized chart of
some sort. 5-10 items each with their own rating (or classification). One of
these items could be tied to the incubation process for example.
Some Items off the top of my head that would be useful (grabbing some
