Hi Rob,
Thanks for voicing your concerns about me. You are a leader and your
words are very powerful, I have much respect for your efforts.
I apologize if my passion sometimes causes conflict on mailing lists.
When I represent the OSGeo community, I feel the need to always be open
and relay concerns, as you have done here. I need to be more caring and
respectful to others in this community.
I hope my open responses help answer a few questions, understand me a
little more, or at least bring more questions and good discussions, so
we can keep making OSGeo fun and always growing.

Hi Toshikazu, Nick,
Despite the fact that I have not been around long enough or have not
been in the right places to see directly a lot of the impact that Jeff
has had on the community, it's very clear from many accounts that he has
been an amazing and important figure in OSGeo (a Sol Katz award speaks
very clearly to this!). However I feel remiss if I don't point out the
following observation: as a newer member to the OSGeo community in the
past couple of years, I've seen some intense and surprising conflict
happen on the mailing lists that were centered around or included Jeff,
which played out in ways that I believe were not good for community, and
were also not healing in their conclusions.
If there is a custom of only speaking positively on someone's nomination
thread, then I apologize. I do not want to detract from praise that is
well deserved. Is there a more appropriate place talk through, address
and hopefully dismiss reservations about a nominee, and to also call for
answers to the questions Cameron has posted?
Thanks,
Rob

I also support the second nomination of Jeff McKenna.
He think important to friendship with all OSGeo communities, because
I am proud of his philosophy.
I think, this thread will use comments on nominations and should not
deep discuss to previous FOSS4G
circumstanceand responsibility.
Best regards,
Toshikazu
