Rather than taking decision, I think the PSC should make sure that decisions are made. Whatever we call them, I think the ideal PSC could learn a lot from the osgeo live project. I think Cameron has done/is doing an excellent job at managing that project, which in fact is quite similar to

I agree with Hamish that, most importantly, what UbuntuGIS needs is developers. People that are able to package. Ideally people that are interested to also help DebianGIS. DebianGIS also need packagers. So having a PSC without developers/packagers doesn't make sense to me. I'm still very

Dear Alan, at first thank You for Your work (and also for work of others in this project). I am following UbuntuGIS for some time and I started to maintain my own PPA fork [1] some time ago, because I needed full control of packages. I am little bit involved in packaging. Here is my opinion: 1.
