> Feel free to suggest items for the agenda. If I'd be at debconf, my nr 1 thing would be trying to get some move in the whole discussion about OGC licensing. OGC has been willing to change their license, but got no feedback at all from the FTP-masters. This is not really something to discuss, but should be brought to the attention of the right people. Any consensus we reach may also be a useful example to W3C so this discussion is useful outside our team. See eg: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/OGC-XML-schemas-and-FOSS4G-software-distribution-td5186023.html QGis: we somehow decided to stick to the LTS releases [2]. This is something where we will certainly get a difference with ubuntugis/osgeolive. I think the choice LTS/recent release deserves a discussion. If people ask for recent versions of gdal, they could then be pointed towards the discussion. How to take such a decision is perhaps one of the most interesting things to discuss. This applies equally to eg whether we should switch to GRASS7. Without getting too bureaucratic, having a vote like many OSGeo projects do may be a good way. This is eg from the postgis site: " Proposals must be available for review for at least two business days before a decision can be made. Respondents may vote “+1” to indicate support for the proposal and a willingness to support implementation. Respondents may vote “-1” to veto a proposal, but must provide clear reasoning and alternate approaches to resolving the problem within the two days. A vote of -0 indicates mild disagreement, but has no effect. A 0 indicates no opinion. A +0 indicate mild support, but has no effect.
