Hi Jeff, Thanks for your comments here and elsewhere. I appreciate that you are taking ownership of actions that have caused conflicts in the past. My one follow up comment is that you should, in my opinion, be careful about pointing to the excuse of passion in situations where your words or

Thanks for your honest and passionate support Nick. Your message was well said. Although I should be careful to not hide behind an award, and treat everyone with respect and caring, which I think was the concern of Cameron and others recently towards me. -jeff On 2017-10-12 2:23 AM,

Hi Steven, I think it is not easy dedicating so much effort for OSGeo, and at the same time trying to keep the lights on with a small business, as you know very well. I think recent changes by the current Board handling the many tasks through 2 VPs and the president helps, really helps, but I

Dear Cameron, I appreciate the time and effort you have put into framing questions and remarks for Jeff, although that sounds rather unusual in a Board nomination thread. As a Charter Member nominating Jeff, I thought that bygones were bygones when we honored him with the prestigious Sol Katz

IMHO this needs some more explanation, since he resigned from the same board only some months ago (or is it half a year already maybe). What has changed since then that makes him consider re-joining? Best regards, Bart Sent from my iPhone On Jul 24, 2012, at 12:03 AM, Smith, Michael
