Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] "Hostile Takeover" -- what do we mean by this?

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Rather than stating what OSGeo is trying to avoid (a negative 
statement), it might be better to frame the responsibilities of charter 
members in terms of furthering the purpose of OSGeo (a positive statement):


"The purpose of OSGeo is to establish and support a diverse open source 
community to foster the development, advancement and promotion of open 
geospatial software technology and data. To further this purpose, 
Charter Members have the following responsibilities: [...]"


Kind regards,
Ben.

With the words of wisdom from Frank, Jody, and others -- is it fair to say
that Charter Members have the responsibility of voting, as well as
"preserving the integrity of the OSGeo Foundation"? That seems a less,
well, hostile, way to express the main idea that seems to have come out of
this discussion.

Hi discuss,

In the notification emails from CRO to new charter member nominees, the
following is included (emphasis mine):

*"(Charter Members) have the following responsibilities: (1) annually vote
for OSGeo Board Members; (2) annually vote for new OSGeo Charter Members
and (3) be aware of and protect against a hostile takeover of OSGeo."*

I have had more than one nominee of mine contact me asking what exactly
this means. I agree with their concerns: this is strange language to use,
is not reflected in our bylaws, and frankly does not fit the image I
presented when I first contacted them asking if they would accept a
nomination.

It may be a language barrier or simply a misunderstanding, but can we
clarify what is meant by using this kind of verbiage, and consider a
re-wording?

Thanks,
Sara

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] "Hostile Takeover" -- what do we mean by this?

Coming back to this discussion; thank you all who chimed in with more
information.

With the words of wisdom from Frank, Jody, and others -- is it fair to say
that Charter Members have the responsibility of voting, as well as
"preserving the integrity of the OSGeo Foundation"? That seems a less,
well, hostile, way to express the main idea that seems to have come out of
this discussion.

[OSGeo-Discuss] cartographer and analysts view point requested

[Jody Garnett]

I have a request for direction from the website team:

*The icons are kinda driving me crazy. Made some new ones, not sure if I
got them correct following the notes we made at Codesprint day. **Especially
'Portal'*


I would like to ask for help - please:

1) reach out to me on hangout and we can go through the icons in the visual
collaboration environment used to communicate with the graphics designer
2) volunteer to attend the 14:00 UTC meeting tomorrow morning

I am looking for two volunteers here, rather than starting an email
discussion which relies on me caring conversation back to the graphics
designer. We need that first hand experience.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

[Anne Ghisla]

Former admin here.

When I became admin in 2012, mentors money was added to OSGeo incomes.
I started a discussion with the Board and current mentors about it, and
the agreed outcome was that the mentors' money should specifically be
allocated for code sprint support. (See budgets from 2013 onwards, and
board list/IRC logs for extended information).

So it is misleading to say that OSGeo retains the money: it is
has been available to projects every year.

I welcome mentors to make use of this year's allocated money for code
sprints - for next year and onwards (assuming OSGeo will apply for GSoC
and gets accepted) the discussion can be reopened. I'm not an admin
anymore but I would be glad to contribute with information about past
decisions.

Best
Anne

Wrong assumption. Mentors decided collectively.

I mentored for GDAL during OSGeo's GSoC back in 2007.
I was explicitly asked if I, as mentor, agree to pass the money to OSGeo.
It was Frank Warmerdam (GDAL project manager at the time) or
it was someone else (Tyler Mitchell perhaps),
I lost those emails...


Wait, found it:

[SoC] Windup, and Mentor Summit, Mentor Payments
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/soc/2007-August/000173.html

followed up by agreement responses from mentors
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/soc/2007-September/thread.html

*That* is how it started.

I recalled, that was/used to be majority of choices.
I did that too.
