Yes I also agree. I tried on my past mails to hit some of those points
about motivation and the community role but he really nailed it.
While I don’t think I’m keen on having professionals foot the bill for OSGeo,
Dirk is definitely on the right track. His citation of the core principles is
timely, and I’ll go so far as to repeat it here:
OSGeo should act as a low-capital, volunteer-focused organization.

Hi Dirk,
Well said.
However as someone who fits in all four categories that you¹ve defined, I
must point out that the sponsorship dollars may perhaps not be in these
categories either.
I find it easier to contribute time as **a member of the community** and
definitely do not want to be seen as

The problem I think is that we are talking about the membership, about
putting money as a requirement, instead of recognition being elected by
your peers.
Right, that is something, an actual topic that we can discuss about.

Hi,
I have been reading this conversation silently and for my point of view, if
paying helps OsGeo, then subsctription fees are welcome.
But there is a big but: for students and people who are unemployed,

good points, thanks. I strongly believe that paying a fee for one type

Interesting topic that raises quite a few questions.
