Things may evolve: A a founding member of OSGeo I was always very interested to keep the community strongly involved. This implies that with the years charter members may obtain a stronger role than "just" electing the board members. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_charter_member_page_instruction What others do: http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#asf-members ... but Jody has just send around some links...

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo's jobs mailing list
This is just a gentle reminder that there is a mailing list for geospatial jobs related to open source over at j...@lists.osgeo.org (archived at http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/jobs/). If you are looking to hire someone to do some open source geo work, or if you're looking to get hired to do some open source geo work, this is a good place to go. It is a moderated list with very low volume -- just a handful of posts per month. -mpg ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: CEE FOSS4G projects
As a number of private replies question me about the CEE definition, I'd like to bring some clarifications. Geographically speaking, yes, Germany and Austria are definitively in Central Europe. Though, I did prefer to go with this definition [1] for a couple of reasons: 1. The level of FOSS4G penetration is more or less the same in the selected countries. A country like Germany will totally unbalance the analysis. 2. There is already a quite successful FOSS4G event for the German speaking people (FOSSGIS). Hope this clarifies a bit my position.
