I am OK with the former donors page, with a (past years) date of funding and a thank you note from GRASS.

Thus that's more or less what I meant in the first place: a donor remains in the sponsors page only if donates regularly (eg. every year), otherwise it's moved to a list of former donors (which I believe is necessary to keep track of, for transparency and history). -- Best regards, Dr. Margherita DI LEO Scientific / technical project officer European Commission - DG JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) Via Fermi, 2749 I-21027 Ispra (VA) - Italy - TP 261 Tel. +39 0332 78 3600 margherita.di-...@jrc.ec.europa.eu Disclaimer: The views expressed are purely those of the writer and may not in any circumstance be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission. ___ grass-psc mailing list grass-psc@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc -- ___ grass-psc mailing list grass-psc@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc

I have the feeling that defining new voting rules has priority. Once the voting rules are set so that decisions can be handled within a week, the other issues would go smoothly.. cheers, madi -- Best regards, Dr. Margherita DI LEO Scientific / technical project officer European Commission - DG JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) Via Fermi, 2749 I-21027 Ispra (VA) - Italy - TP 261 Tel. +39 0332 78 3600 margherita.di-...@jrc.ec.europa.eu Disclaimer: The views expressed are purely those of the writer and may not in any circumstance be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission. ___ grass-psc mailing list grass-psc@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc
Re: [GRASS-PSC] releases schedule

I would rather propose to either branch later, or to allow more than just bugfixes into the release branch for 4-5 months before going into bugfix-only phase for the last month or two. During the first period new features can be ported to the release branch once they have had some testing in trunk. Moritz, I believe that these are two different things. ... Second, committing features to both branches is what is taking the time from us and creating uncertainty about what is where and what are the branches for. I think that this is crucial point and the lengths of time periods above should be decided based on this, not the other way around.
