Hi I can't be more agree with we should seek the best people to
represent the foundation, based on the merits and commitment with the
usual free software values, rather than a geographic representation. Of

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

Mateusz,
I am flattered by your interest but that web site is still more of a personal afterthought and not really relevant to OSGeo. The standard MediaWiki RSS is no good for a blog either. If I ever get around to regularly blog useful content on OSGeo related issues I'll come back to you with a working RSS.
Best regards,
Arnulf.
