Just a word of warning; those sites get tripped up; you can see the history for geotools is missing because we just cleaned up our subversion repository a bit.

The following one is also useful: - http://cia.vc/stats/project/geotools For projects going through incubation these tools are a valuable resource in figuring out who changed what when.

True: in my personal history, it's as if I have been inactive for years, but in reality all the CVS data disappeared when we switched from CVS to SVN. br, Bruno ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] No news on the election?
A quick look at the List shows that we've got an impressive a cadre already. But, to misquote, I'll admit that I don't know half of you half as well as I should like: I am sure there are many good candidates out there still lurking, but perhaps too shy to speak up on his or her own behalf. If so, take heart! -- feel free to ask to be nominated, either privately to one of the charter members (http://www.osgeo.org/charter_members) or publically to this list. -mpg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mateusz Loskot Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:45 PM To: Discuss@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] No news on the election? Hi, A few days ago [1] Jo announced here the Election 2008 has started. Today, nomination closes and during next 5 days charter members will vote. So, we are in the middle of quite important event for the foundation but it hasn't been announced on the osgeo.org news. Shouldn't we make some noise about the voting soon?
