Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does the OSGeo have a historian?
Only for clarification, HIstory is much more than a timeline and event [1] and historians do things other than timelines [i.e. 2]. And for the original question I am historian but I'm afraid I am not what the original post was looking for. History is more than events, historians (some at least) like to look at the Longue Durée [3] and from below [4].

Maybe we need a history page on the wiki to track such information in one place similar to Tyler's recent summary of OSGeo contributors.
