Hi Board member candidates (and fellow voter members),
...
= One to Astrid:
Almost all of your objectives seem outreach-related (PR, OSGeo Live
etc.)
What are the advantages of doing so as a Board member, instead of (or
in addition to) begin a member of the recently revived Marketing
Committee
Yes - you are right. I do a lot of outreach-work.
I am fine with the things that I already do and could go on like this or
could get more involved in other Committees. So I do not have to become
a member of the board. Maybe that would be the same for all nominees
somehow.
So I am also fine, not to be on the board.
On the other hand working on the board may be a good opportunity to get
a different perspective to OSGeo and to work & discuss in a team on some
goals and to support to get other people of OSGeo worldwide involved.
= And one to all of you:
Some of you talk about being an inclusive organization.
For the geographical and probably cultural aspect of inclusiveness, do
you think the Board should have it's roots in as much continents /
languages as possible, so preferably 1 Board member from every
continent (not counting for Antarctica, ha!)
There are different categories that you could use to classify the board
members - by continent, by gender, by topic, by technology, by language,
by ...
Sure it would be great to have a board with a great diversity. But maybe
with only 9 members on the board it won't be so easy. So maybe the focus
could be to have a board that works together well and makes productive
descissions and integrates the other members / chapters / projects of
OSGeo.
