Hi,
The last 3 sentences of this statement make me worry for more future
conflicts.
What happens when the Marketing Committee (which has the mandate to
outreach for OSGeo and create the new web site) conflicts with the new
Website Management Team (part of Systems Administration Committee) on
the content of the web site?
Which one of these teams gets to decide if the site focuses on our
community (us) or on bringing in new users (outreach)? Do-ocracy is not
an option in this case, both groups are willing to act.
Going through the by-laws [1] once again, I see that the only conflict
resolution process we have in place is a Board resolution.
Just to be clear: I am not against forming the "Website Management
Team", just trying to be pro-active.
I suggest discussing this matter at the next Board meeting [2]
Best,
Angelos

I am setting up an OSGeo "Website Management Team" now, to help bring
the focus on the OSGeo community, manage the website (and WordPress
theme), security, backups, content etc, and will propose this to
OSGeo's Systems committee and OSGeo Board; for the longterm
maintenance of the website. I imagine during this maintenance process
we will be removing these unnecessary promotions, and focus on the
OSGeo community (us). We'll leave promotion of other things for those
with the big money ha, as they have the big funding for their
products, as you mentioned. We will focus on the OSGeo community.
