Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] contacting project officers
So long as the OSGeo project officers email list is used sparingly, I think it would be valuable. We need to keep the signal to noise ratio high in order to ensure that project officers don't put emails into a folder which doesn't get read. I suggest rules of: * List is moderated for all external traffic. * People on the list (project leads) can email it.

[OSGeo-Discuss] contacting project officers
Here is an idea: On the website[1] publish a list of "project officers" who can be contacted as representatives by the various committees (education, marketing and incubation). Currently this list is perhaps incomplete? VP, FDO: Greg Boone VP, GDAL/OGR: Frank Warmerdam VP, GeoNetwork opensource: Jeroen Ticheler VP, GRASS: Markus Neteler VP, Mapbender: Christoph Baudson VP, Mapbuilder: Cameron Shorter VP, MapGuide Open Source: Robert Bray VP, OpenLayers: Erik Uzureau VP, Quantum GIS: Gary Sherman Today's email on behalf of the marketing committee really highlighted to me that this workflow is not being followed (except for Tyler and the Journal - thanks!). Could we set up a mailing list containing project officers to help committees make contact? Even if it is just to invite project representatives to an IRC meeting or other activity; a contact mailing list would perhaps help.
