+1 to Jeroen's suggestion that we should minimise email traffic. +1 to Brandon's suggestion of managing in a wiki (although there are other ways which work too) We should be careful not to "love our list to death" by swamping it with well meaning but little value content, thus reducing the

I wonder if we could use the charter members list rather than the discuss list (or is that email list private?) -- Jody Garnett On 8 September 2017 at 02:54, Jeroen Ticheler wrote: > Hi all, > It is great to see the OSGeo community being so active and expanding! The

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

Hi, While I agree that all those seconding emails might flood some inboxes (though most of modern mails have system to redirect and filter messages), it was a real pleasure to see all the reaction from the community: people I've never heard about, people I've never read a message from (ok i'm not

The other point in favour of email is the discussion aspect, with the board only reviewing -1 votes we are relying our the discussion list to review candidates. -- Jody Garnett On 8 September 2017 at 07:36, Jorge Sanz wrote: > Agree, I don't think I'd like a nomination period

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

Agree, I don't think I'd like a nomination period + election being carried on with some editings in the wiki and a silent mailing list except by some announcements. On the other hand, answering with a +1 on a mailing list is quick and easy (and annoying if you don't use filters on your email).

Hi, I think it's valuable to have the nominations being sent to the discuss list, but I agree that seconding them should be off list. Cheers, Volker On 09/08/2017 01:01 PM, brandon whitehead wrote: > Hi, > > A potentially trivial change would be to keep the process the same, but > run

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

Hi, A potentially trivial change would be to keep the process the same, but run through the wiki---i.e. use a wiki page as the venue for nominators to log in and update/edit. Freeze the page after a certain date, and now there's an archived copy of the process. Anyone interested in real-time
