Hi Paolo, I don't see this process as a problem, but as an opportunity to build a better community. That's why this process exist, to recognize and reward the most dedicated members.
I would put the question in the other way: why can't we make the nominations public from the start? Is it a problem? Marco had to send a reminder for the nominations. Why? In my opinion, if the nominations started as a public process, more people were involved from the beginning. Soon as the first nomination appeared, others nominations would came. In summary: I don't think this is a problem but we should take all opportunities to foster collaboration, transparency and open communication. See you soon, Jorge Às 16:18 de 10/01/19, Paolo Cavallini escreveu: > Hi all, > so are you suggesting that: > * the call for nominations should be done by a non PSC member (now it's > a PSC member doing this) > * make nominations public from the start (we currently disclose them > after collecting them). > For the first one I frankly don't see any issue. > For the second one, having a short buffer does not seem a real problem > for me; could you please elaborate? > Thanks. > > On 10/01/19 15:57, Borys Jurgiel wrote: >> Yes, it's what I had in mind :) >> >> Dnia czwartek, 10 stycznia 2019 15:09:18 CET Jorge Gustavo Rocha pisze: >>> Hi, >>> >>> May I join the discussion? >>> >>> The OSGeo does this same process [1] every year.
