Hi I can't be more agree with we should seek the best people to

sign
that FOSS4G is spreading and OSGeo is getting more and more broader.
Since there are only a few open positions for board elections each
year, it will take some time to see any long term movement in
representation either way. In addition to to "merits and
commitment" I
would also add "vision" to the list of positive attributes for board
members.
One thing that I think would be useful right away would be to start a
group made up of one representative from each local chapter - a
sort of
global council. This doesn't have to be a new or separate mailing
list,
but could be. Just having a group to go to for sharing thoughts,
ideas
and vision would be really valuable. Sound good?
Tyler
Yes.
I didn't want to let this pass uncommented. But yet again I was too
elaborate and thus moved it to my emerging http://arnulf.us/Blog
Arnulf,
I'd love to syndicate your blog on the Planet OSGeo, however
I'm having troubles with getting clean and usable RSS/Atom entries :-(
Perhaps you wouldn't mind to fix it?
Certainly, my request is valid only if you would like to get
syndicated :-)
Ciao
