Proposed Service Provider Directory changes ACTION: Arnulf [17:34:54] I just need to make Arnulf write up what they discussed at the Board Meeting. [17:36:04] The idea is that service providers who want to can get "vetted" by the PSC of the projects that they want to provide services for. [17:36:17] nhvL is now known as nhv [17:36:34]  So that PSC's can "highlight" individuals/companies as being OSGeo contributors.. right? [17:36:40] They should have somebody in the corresponding dev team or have provided translations, or doics or whatever is good for a project. [17:36:50] Yes. [17:36:59] Its like Karma points [17:37:02]  As a way of helping direct "clients" to people are most involved in OSGeo. [17:37:14] Exactly. [17:37:23] There is a second way to get Karma [17:37:34] by buying oneself into OSGeo as a sponsor. [17:37:50] This will be depicted by a clearly distinct symbol [17:38:12] so that a service provider can be "blank" (like now all are by default) [17:38:31] or have a $$$ Tag (nice golden star...) [17:38:38] if they are sponsors [17:38:52]  I'm looking forward to seeing it [17:38:58] or they have a golden, blue or grey (depending on the level) wrench [17:39:13] if they are core contributers, documenters, translaters, etc. [17:39:45] Yes, me too. Again it will probably not happen because Arnulf is a lazy metal dog. [17:40:14] seven copies the ideas into the meeting minutes...
