I've took the liberty to forward it to the GRASS community [1]. May it be worth also to forward it to the OSGeo discuss list for the broader community? Some time ago, I've added OSGeo4W to the main OSGeo website [2]. If you think, a sentence or short paragraph should be added about this effort, just let me know. Had a quick look at your repo at [3], there is mentioned "Oslandia's OSGEO4W distribution". As you can see at [2], the branding is "OSGeo4W" ... ;-) .... just as a minor remark ... :-) [1] https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2018-February/077859.html [2] https://www.osgeo.org/projects/osgeo4w/ [3] https://gitlab.com/Oslandia/osgeo4w ----- best regards Helmut -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/osgeo4w-dev-OSGeo-Win32-Installer-List-f3765018.html _______________________________________________ osgeo4w-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeo4w-dev
