Refine the database of organizations

Open Ly0n opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

The database of active open source organizations in the field of environmental sustainability is more important to many users than the list of projects themselves. Therefore, here are several thoughts on how we could expand this database:

  1. Add topics / fields where the organisations are active.
  2. Cluster namespaces based on legal organizations. Many larger organizations such as Google, NOAA, NASA, or LF Energy have multiple namespaces that we could link together.
  3. We could generate activity scores for organization name spaces.
  4. Using the social media accounts of the various organizations, it is easy to create a "news" feed about open source in the field of environmental sustainability. For sure with have to blacklist some very large generic social media accounts and create a simple way to quickly review such post.

I think we'll come up with a lot more here in the near future.
