Hi Jeff, many thanks for undoing, and for the clarification. This was exactly what I was asking for, nothing else.
As Bruce stated, I highly value you personally as well as your relentless work for and with OSGeo to steer the tall ship, and by no means I was implying malice. I was somewhat upset by the community reaction of "come on, it's not so bad" (which I found unilateral compared to other occasions). On my side, I will remove mentioning of the case from our incubation history tracking. Also, I agree that both sides have tempered up in this discussion. Thanks to your settlement of the root cause we might all reach out hands now and consider it settled. thanks again, Peter On 2015-09-19 00:58, Jeff McKenna wrote: > Hi Peter, > > Please understand that OSGeo is having its big annual conference FOSS4G in > Seoul now, and that you sent all this right before the big final day (lots > going on).
