Hi CRO (and other Board Members?),
Great top see so many voters, but still some 70 charter members (20%) who were
not willing to vote.
According to our bylaws, (charter)membership is supposed to terminate for those
members who fail to fulfil their duty 3 times in a row (=participate in 3
Barry, CRO, others,
According to our bylaws [1], (section 3.7) it's up to the remaining Board
members to choose someone to fill the gap. There's no such thing as in-between
elections.
As such happened in January 2016, when Jeff stepped down, and the Board choose
Dirk Frigne to join the
for a certain officer position?

Hi Board member candidates (and fellow voter members),
Thanks to Helena, Astrid, Jody and Sanghee for adding their Manifestos [1].
Really much appreciated, and at least now we have 6 known candidates to cast
our 5 votes to!
I hope that Dirk, Venga and Jeff will take the opportunity to
Hi all,
As a charter member, one of my main duties is to vote for the new Board.
In order to achieve this responsible task in a proper way, I do need to know
the candidates personally
But I DO need to know what they stand for, what their ideas are towards OSGeo
in general, and their ideas
I'd prefer to move these discussions to a separate mailing list (such as
marketing or the webcom list).
Especially now that a long thread like "proposal for the listing of projects"
tends to move to a completely different subject (if/howto distinguish service
providers by size)
My 2 cents,
Sort of like the OSM based T-shirts:

I like the idea, but perhaps it makes things a little too complex?
A contour line map of The Netherlands as a biz card background would not be
very exciting ;-)

In addition to my previous post:
Instead of releasing one OSGeo Live every year, one might also release a

mainly server GIS.
In that way the workoad is a little more spread throughout the year than in

Being a supporter of open gorvernment, of open data in general, and election

Reading the schedule for the board elections I was wondering if there is a
