    Nearly - though any new acronym can obfuscate.  For that reason, I'd 
    suggest going with "ISD", because of its similarity to the familiar 
    "ISV", at least the reader may clue in by association and context.  

ISD would solve the problem equally well.

    Erm, what's wrong with "developer" or "software developer"?

When there is no need to emphasize that the developer
is not part of GNOME development, those are fine.
