Now, that would be plain sad and wrong. Again, for now, I am
"ambivalent leaning to disagreeing" with the above, but OSGeo is still
young. When it really becomes a problem, I hope to use all the
legitimate processes available in a true democracy to try and
overturn/change such a decision-making.
Puneet,
Well, luckily there are a variety of steps available. Notably discussing
the matter so folks take spatial/cultural diversity into account when
selecting new members and board members.
Also, taking steps to get more folks from the developing world active in
OSGeo internationally so there are obvious and somewhat known candidates to
choose from.
Best regards,
