The website committee has been dissolved, making this a more self-servce experience. All committee chairs (and foundation officers) should now how website edit access; if we missed anyone please comment on https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1789 -- Jody Garnett On 20 October 2016 at 08:20,

I would tend to think of GeoForAll/Geo4All/geo4all, osgeo-live, etc... as "Initiatives" rather than software projects. -- Jody Garnett On 20 October 2016 at 08:20, Massimiliano Cannata < massimiliano.cann...@supsi.ch> wrote: > dear Board, > in the OSGeo landing page (www.osgeo.org) in the
