Hi Peter,
Could I request that you please take a deep breath and then temper your
language before posting again.
It appears you feel quite offended that ownership of rasdaman has been
incorrectly assigned to OSGeo. That is understandable.
I've personally taken offense to your suggestions of malice from OSGeo
and what we stand for. Surely you have been involved with OSGeo long
enough to realise that OSGeo is just a collection of volunteers who help
each other?
And hopefully you have noticed that the responders to your emails have
been asking you to help them help you?
People are attracted to help others when they are having fun, and it is
not so fun when offers of help attract a rude response. So could you
please be more helpful (and specific) in answering those offering to
help you.
This will be my last post on this thread.
Warm regards,
Cameron

just to clarify: it is a _very_ simple step: OSGeo needs to login to OpenHub
(obviously they have one, otherwise this false claim could not have been
established) to undo that claim. That simple.
So, when will OSGeo do that?

Ok, maybe I don't understand, but why doesn't somebody just fix this issue. It
seems everyone agrees the listing is wrong on the site. Somebody should have a
cease and desist letter sent to the site to change the owner to the correct
name or remove the posting.
whois openhub.net
for the site particulars. This assumes that the person the created the posting
on the site is unknown or not available to change it.
It might expedite things if BOTH osgeo and rasdaman GmbH sent similar letters
making similar requests so the site gets confirmation from both parties and
does not need to worry if this is an attempt to "steal" the listing.

I agree: Peter’s issue doesn’t seem to be a Code of Conduct issue, it
seems closer to a Code of Ethics issue — but even that’s not quite
right. I think this is more properly a grievance to be taken up
directly with the Board.
Suggestion: the CoC team right want to consider a couple lines on the
wiki page that (further) clarify the intent of the Code of Conduct,
as opposed to the intent of a Code of Ethics [1][2]. The two are
similar in their ultimate goals, but address different areas of our
professional lives and activities [3].

It may be early here at FOSS4G-Seoul, but I am finding it hard to
understand your full issue. Can you please explain here to
everyone what you mean by "I found that OSGeo has claimed rasdaman
at some time in the past". Claimed how/where/in what way? As far
as I know, rasdaman is an OSGeo Project in Incubation, and, having
been at the OSGeo booth here most of this week I have spoken to
many people coming to the booth about rasdaman. So, pardon me if I
am in the total dark here, maybe you could explain more to
everyone, as I sense that you are upset.
Thanks,

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.
