Hi Michael - 1) Without knowing you in person, I can't say if your message is to be intended as with a "positive" tone, or with a bitter-sweet and slightly ironic tone ;)
Whichever way, I agree that any organization (starting even from small groups) periodically needs to stop and consider if its current state is in line with the external and internal conditions and -if not- try and understand if some form of change should be applied. 2) the other consideration I appreciated is the one from Even Rouault: it is true that, as Joni Mitchell used to sing "Don't it always seem to go / That you don't know what you've got / ‘Til it's gone" (Big Yellow Taxi) ...a simple test would be for OSGEO activists (I mean guys who donate at least half a day per week of personal time -not paid time- to this) go on a "sabbatical leave" for, say, six months. then we see what happens ;) best regards from Italy.
