I was explaining OSGeo to someone in the mapping community the other day
and showing them the Service Providers page, and they pointed out that the
location filter "''is super weird... On the one hand, Aberystwyth (town in
Wales) and on the other, India (continent-sized country). Also, many of
the weirder locations have no results...''"
I thought it might make sense to at least remove locations without
entries. If it's possible, we could just use a country-level filter (or
country-state in some of the larger countries). I think I have privileges
to remove locations without entries so I'm happy to help with that part if
the SAC agrees.

Comment (by cvvergara):
Hi jbryant
Just making sure I understand the problem
Overly verbose = the choosing list is enormous, (and getting bigger each
time a member adds a location)
What do you mean by Locations without entries?
1) locations that do not have the lat/lon values
2) locations that are not referenced by anything on wordpress
3) locations that are not referenced particularly by sponsors
Of course any help would be helpful 
There is https://staging.www.osgeo.org/
where you can make the proposed changes
If the change needs to be done at the php level, please let me know so we
can arrange a meeting on how/where to do that kind of changes
