Andrea,
I don't have a strong position on public vs. private, but I will
note we are receiving lots of private nominations, as is
the case each year

Hi Thomas,
Since GEOS 3.0, the Python bindings are unsupported, but the
`--enable-python` option is still exposed in case a new developer
wants to step in and support it. Try removing this option.
However, the good news is that you can use Shapely to do the same
work, as it uses the GEOS C API.
While I am all for openness in general, I share Howard's concerns in
this specific case and think we should continue with private nominations.

Hi Bart,
The process can change each year, but last year each member of the
Selection Committee ranked their top two choices, and the person with
the most first place votes won.
Selection committee members have always been allowed to nominate.
Looking back at old selection committee emails/discu

I don't want to be a PITA, but I want to bring up another point for discussion.
Is it a good idea for people from the selection committee to be nominating?
That kind of defeats their "neutral" position.
Or how does the selection committee normally come to a decision? Consensus,
voting, somethin

My web mapping life became so much easier with the birth of OpenLayers, and
