Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board election: no re-elections this year?

Hi, I'm not standing for re-elections, because I think, I did not achieved some tasks I had, and see no way currently, how I could do better as board member. Also I lack of energy and therefore I cut-off some roles I managed to play during last couple of years. Being on the board, raised more

Dirk: Thanks for taking time to answer the questions. If I could follow-up, though, more details would be helpful. (I don’t mean to pick on you personally, I’m just trying to get a better feel for what sorts of specific ideas you and the other candidates might have.) >> 2) What do you see as

The recent discussion on the board list that came out of the question of the 2014 videos has got me thinking about a few things again, and I want to try to get them out there. Grab a mug of your favorite liquid and hunker

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

Darrell, Thank you for you assessment, I think this is a great call for action and it puts words to a lot of my feelings about OSGeo. If you look at most of the successful projects they are driven by someone with vision and passion that pulls in others to work toward concrete goals. If

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections - vote of confidence for Sanghee

OSGeo members, I think that few people understand the huge time commitment involved in chairing a FOSS4G conference. I certainly didn't when I volunteered to do so in 2009. Sanghee will almost certainly be completely burned out, as if he has finished a marathon race. However, the fact that he

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections - vote of confidence for Sanghee

+1 I totally agree with Cameron. I also think we should be more careful when we are demanding things from people that are already putting a lot of their time/energy/health in *doing* things for our community. I only did a rather small regional FOSS4G event (FOSS4G-CEE 2013 - 230+ people) but I

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

Being a "don't talk, act" member since 2008, entrepreneur and former chairman of a couple of local initiatives, I strongly agree. Seeing all the "empty talkers" from my country run for charter membership and still not having geoserver, which is the most mature open geospatial product I can think

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Question(s) for board candidates

Dear Darrell, Here are my answers to your questions. 1) What do you see as OSGeo’s purpose today? -> Promoting FOSS4G spirit world wide. 1a) What is OSGeo doing today that it shouldn’t be doing? -> Giving too much organising burden to FOSS4G LOC. Eventually much burden to LOC will damage
