Margherita and others. I agree with you, that the situation has developed in a bad way. My expectations were higher, than the general enthusiasm in OSGeo community. Maybe we are slowly approaching into post-INSPIRE era, where everything is set, software is deployed and there is no or only little

I agree, it would be a good occasion to talk about inspire and open source projects. But I also think there wasn't enough time to prepare the workshop, motivations, topics to discuss, etc. Anyway, I like the idea, and I hope next conference we can try again with better results. Best regard!.

Hi Alex, Will definitely let the community know when this is done. Fairly certain we'll have a quick start on how to do get the VM going and if you guys want to add this documentation upstream in the site that would be great, are you the person to send that type of information to? This is

Adrian, According to http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OGC_membership we have open slots. It seems that Arnulf and Michael can authorize it. There are some fairly restrictive conditions on OGC individual memberships which is what this is. You should confirm you are going to fit.

+1 from me too. Based on the depth of valuable feedback that OGC received from OSGeo regarding Geoservices REST API, with Adrian being a significant contributor, I believe that we have a good argument to ask for voting rights. (We might not get it, but at least we should ask). On

OGC voting organisations typically have 1 vote, (2 people who have permissions to caste that vote), and each organisation has their own process for determining that vote. I'd suggest that OSGeo should have a committee and set of processes for determining the vote. One issue we are going to

Adrian showed himself to be a level-headed and rational discoursant during the recent kerfuffle. If Adrian is willing, I'd support a motion to put him in charge of, or at least a member of, some sort of effort to engage with OGC to find out the Best Way Forward for our two organizations. I think
