Nicolas:
This is a great idea. Could you please start by stubbing out a wiki page for this, and then others can add onto it? -mpg From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of nicolas bozon Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 6:56 PM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 2011 Charter Member Election Results Hello all, As a fresh new charter member, i was precisely wondering if some guidelines for charter membership were available somewhere. I was about to ask in fact, when this thread came up. I knew that voting was one of the duties, but thought that some others may exist. According to me, charter members should also dynamise and promote their respective (and/or prefered) local chapter as much as possible. That would be nice if some experienced charter members could start such guidelines on the wiki or elsewhere where a kind of brainstorming could occur on that topic.

I support Dave's opinion here. OSGeo has no resources for mothering its Charter Members.
