List of CKAN service companies

Having a list of service companies on ckan.org that offer CKAN services would be beneficial for those looking for such services, but more importantly would give confidence to those selecting CKAN that they would not be locked into one provider.

Suggested mechanics: this should probably live at ckan.org, replacing the 'Services' section that is specific to OKF. It could be a Jekyll doc listing each companies basic info: company name, services (from: install, host, custom theme, custom development), contact, logo.

Suggested joining policy: the applicant must demonstrate basic capacity to fulfil the advertised services. Evidence for this might be showing a running CKAN instance, a CKAN extension in Github or pull requests. I think the bar needs to be reasonably low - if a python programmer new to CKAN can spend an hour installing CKAN and customizing the example extension successfully then they should be allowed to be listed. This avoids having companies just fishing for work but without any specific investment in CKAN, but encourages new-comers willing to learn.

Suggested joining process: to join the list, a company would contact the tech team chair with their evidence. At the next meeting, the chair will raise it and either there will be a straight decision or someone will be assigned to investigate more. A decision is either 'yes' or a request for more evidence, communicated by the chair.

Review the existing Services section on ckan.org and the Jekyll documentation that generates it. Because this ideas repository is deprecated, confirm the current contribution location in the main CKAN repository Discussions. Done means an agreed service-company listing, eligibility evidence and joining process are published on ckan.org.
