Dear Jeff, Everyone,
I'll drop in to help as well. I may be a little late as I promised my
children a video chat. I apologize as I'd like to be there and help.
For what it's worth, regarding the tag line agenda item, OSGeo is far
from the only open source community. Unaffiliated projects in Github can
claim that for example. It might be better to aim for something a bit
more distinct.
See you soon,
Andrew

For the record Arnulf forgot that the Board meeting starts at 8am
at the
same location, discussing of course the exact topics that he
mentioned
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2014-09-13). But
please don't
let me hinder your energy, definitely tackle the areas that need
love
(reviving the marketting committee, picking your favorite project in
incubation and give some nudges...lots to do!)
Thanks, see you early at the sprint.
PS. the Board meeting, and any Board meeting, is open to anyone and
everyone.

Folks,
if anybody indicates interest in hacking OSGeo at the code
sprint in
Portland tomorrow please answer.
In past years we have brain stormed around Marketing,
Sponsorship,
Education, Data (specifically how OSGeo can support the Open
Data
model) and so on. It is a aunique opportunity to evolve OSGeo
as an
organization and I would be happy to contribute to anything you
might
want to achieve for within and around OSGeo as an organization.
This can also include how (or rather if at all) OSGeo manages
FOSS4G.
In my experience the day directly after the event is the best
time to
actually do this, impressions are still fresh and lots of
ideas have
popped up. If we do not invest some time into realizing them
we are
not going to get anywhere. So if you think OSGeo needs a push
in a
certain direction, join. There will be representatives from the
board
of directors, the president (I guess you are there Jeff,
right?) and
other folks in key roles. It is probably the only time in the
year
when you will get so many bright OSGeo folks in one place.
Here is a link to drop your ideas. Its a Wiki, just go hack it
as you
like:

Cheers,
Arnulf
