As one of a the founding member of OSGeo, Venkatesh had, is and will always

I share your concerns. This is the first year that this is happening, and it's

I agree that this is the first year that nominations have been

Is it a good idea for people from the selection committee to be nominating?
That kind of defeats their neutral position.
Or how does the selection committee normally come to a decision? Consensus,
voting, something
Hi Bart,
The process can change each year, but last year each member of the
Selection Committee ranked their top two choices, and the person with
the most first place votes won.
Selection committee members have always been allowed to nominate.

Hi Thomas,
Since GEOS 3.0, the Python bindings are unsupported, but the
`--enable-python` option is still exposed in case a new developer
