Peter,

If you are unable to explain your conduct issue in detail (since you mention the issue is one single person), you can take this to the Code of Conduct Committee (possibly privately at coc-private-ow...@lists.osgeo.org or publicly at http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/coc-discuss). They exist now for issues of conduct.

I do hope that you contact the person directly as well, and talk, it may help for that person to understand the violation (since I cannot understand it from your discuss message).

Hello community,

here is another real case that I would like to raise.

rasdaman [0] is listed on OpenHub [1], like many of us, with owner rasdaman GmbH
set originally. By coincidence I found that OSGeo has claimed rasdaman at some
time in the past.

To my total surprise, as rasdaman is in incubation since about 5 years now [2],
and since quite some time OSGeo refuses graduation requiring this and that extra
documentation.

I find this undercover misappropriation a gross violation of professional ethics
and request to immediately "give back" the project as a remedial action. I could
do it myself, but recently OpenHub requires a phone number to be entered to
which, as blog comments show, spam will get sent. IMO it is on OSGeo to bring
this sacrifice.

Actually, I know who has "stolen ownership", but will not disclose identity
publicly following suggested practice.

Rather, I am seeking contact to and investigation by the CoC Committee (or
whoever is in charge).

Thanks,
Peter

PS: On the side, this IMHO justifies an amendment of the CoC rules to prevent
such a case in future.
