Dear Peter, Thanks for the explanation, I'm a software engineer and I know very well how the process work. SQL is indeed a good example of a good standard almost everyone follows. But I would bet that's an exception in software. I raised the intended bugs thing because in recent years it had

Hi Christian, for sure a topic with lots of facets for discussion. Allow me to discontinue here, though - reason being that (i) there was a very wise, unsurpassable post by Mark Gahagan and (ii) Suchith has asked to close this thread, and as it is "his" thread I want to respect it. Hope for your

Hi Antony, I am only a ICA volunteer and my only request was for open and transparent discussions on the community book project . I just do not understand what is the problem with that request? When I came to know that the book publisher etc was decided already without any open discussions

Hi Christian, I will also connect you to Prof. Michael P. Peterson (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) so you can get more inputs and ideas . Michael is a distinguished academic . He is currently Chief Editor of one of the GIS journals . He also served as chair of the ICA’s

Thank you Christian for your inputs and offer of help in articulate this issue. Greatly appreciated. I think it is an unintentional mistake and I am very grateful that ICA colleagues have listened to my concerns. Though I don’t know any details, I understand from Anthony’s mail last week

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Draft of Open Letter on the importance to protecting independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations

Hi Peter, good point! And fair enough for your example on SQL which is an open standard and thus reproducible in theory and practice. My Point is more general, although it may not be 100% thought through yet, so comments are welcome. My argumetation on this is as follows: Scientific

Dear Suchith, I agree with you on the matter, that publishing a book in context of United Nations initiative by esri is bad. I would also support to offiicialy articulate this somehow. But the case you address was solved. As I understand, esri is no longer considered as the publisher for the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Draft of Open Letter on the importance to protecting independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations

Dear Christian, Thank you for you mail and inputs. This letter is draft and I welcome inputs from you and everyone to refine it. I fully agree with you that we just need more transparency in science and also in the whole process of editing/reviewing and publishing a book. I am happy to
