Thanks for your honest and passionate support Nick. Your message was
well said. Although I should be careful to not hide behind an award,
and treat everyone with respect and caring, which I think was the
concern of Cameron and others recently towards me.

Dear Cameron,
I appreciate the time and effort you have put into framing questions and
remarks for Jeff, although that sounds rather unusual in a Board
nomination thread.
As a Charter Member nominating Jeff, I thought that bygones were bygones
when we honored him with the prestigious Sol Katz award at FOSS4G 2016.
The thunderous applause from one and all present at the Bundeshaus on
August 27th 2016 still rings in my ears. And I think none in our
community would have missed the passion that emanated from Jeff in his
short acceptance speech, but also the continued effort he has silently
put in helping the Foundation since then.
Whishing all candidates a great campain and election.
Best regards,
Nick

I agree with Cameron, I think the charter members are entitled to an
explanation as to why you resigned from the board twice in the
middle of a period of service.
I, for one, would like to understand the basis on which we can be
assured that if you are elected for a third time the pattern of
resignation will not be repeated

Jeff,
I've had a number of people correct me to note that you have
resigned twice from the board. Also from the conference committee
and FOSS4G mentoring role as the global FOSS4G China was facing
very hard decisions based on low registration numbers.

Jeff,
While I agree with others that you have been very enthusiastic
toward OSGeo ideals, I'm also believe that there are some
unanswered questions which should be addressed.
In particular, a while back you stepped down from the OSGeo Board
mid-term, while you were in the position of OSGeo president. I
don't think a public explanation was provided, but I was aware
that there was some passionate discussion happening in public
email lists at the time.
If you are considering sitting on the board again, I think an
explanation should be provided.
Regards, Cameron
