Hi Martin
I believe this is the public board list so everybody (i.e community) has
access.
Cheers
Greg

Dear all,
This is a very interesting and relevant discussion for the community (
I presume triggered by some ongoing board discussion). I am not sure
why I am still on the Board mailing list, but as I am not a member of
the board, I should probably not respond here. Can I please ask we move
this to the general list of the community, as this is an item of
general interest? Cc-ing oceania@osgeo.
I believe there will be hot takes on this topic, and it would be
preferrable to have a broad agreement in the community ( although maybe
not consensus, at least a compromise).
M.

How would this fit in to a marketplace where OS economical endeavours
are supported ?

I agree that OO should never endorse products or services.
There might be times where it is legitimate to refer to an open source
geospatial product or service though. This should be done carefully
and within suitable context. Maybe worth fleshing this out.
I disagree that OO can't seek sponsorship. I see this as in the
community interest.

My position on endorsement of commercial (or free) services is that
OSGeo Oceania doesn't do it...at all. We financially support the
Oceania community's grass-roots initiatives (mainly events), and
OSGeo's initiatives, but we don't endorse commercial service
providers. One of the grass-roots initiatives OSGeo Oceania supports
is the FOSS4G SotM Oceania Conference, which is administered by a
separate committee: that group seeks sponsors and endorses service
providers, but OSGeo Oceania doesn't.
Is that a controversial position? Should OSGeo Oceania endorse
service providers?
