[OSGeo-Discuss] Enough already. (was: LocationTech, privacy, foss4gna emails, ...)

I suggest creation of a separate mailing list — "osgeo-politics”, perhaps, or maybe “osgeo-internal-affairs” — for discussions about OSGeo that, while of legitimate concern to a number of people in this community, nonetheless do not directly address the general topic of open source, geospatial

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

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

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

A few data points: * The OSGeo board has existed for nine years, with nine members each year, for a total of 81 positions. Except one year had an unfilled slot, so it’s actually 80. * 33 different people have served on the board. * The distribution of how-many-people served-for-N-years looks

[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Letter to the Board Candidates

Dear Board Candidates: Your past actions have shown to your peers that you have the skills and qualifications to help lead OSGeo: congratulations on your nomination to be a member of the Board of Directors! There are seven of you to choose from, but I am only allowed to vote for five of you:

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] code of conduct: another real case

I agree: Peter’s issue doesn’t seem to be a Code of Conduct issue, it seems closer to a Code of Ethics issue — but even that’s not quite right. I think this is more properly a grievance to be taken up directly with the Board. Suggestion: the CoC team right want to consider a couple lines on the

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Jobs List

This is just a gentle reminder that OSGeo runs a mailing list for geospatial jobs related to open source: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/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,

[OSGeo-Discuss] We won. It's time for OSGeo 2.0.

I've stayed out of the pre-survey discussions on charter membership and whatnot, but after taking the survey yesterday, I’m starting to think that OSGeo has accomplished what it set out to do some years ago, and as currently construed OSGeo will no longer serve a useful purpose. Back

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] [Ica-osgeo-labs] The LAS format, the ASPRS, and the “LAZ clone” by ESRI

The ASPRS LAS committee has been roundly criticized in the past for not operating in an open, consensus-driven, transparent manner. My personal feeling is that LAS - or any future lidar standard - is now too important a topic to be left to the ASPRS committee. The OGC model and the

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
