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 suppor

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 ubuntugis

PSC is generally self organizing from the community participants initially. Long term you can create a process where the community at large nominates people for it. At this point probably just need to pick a size (perhaps 5 people). You usually want a few committers, in this case packagers, someone

I think we should create the PSC before trying to elaborate on any development roadmap. Then, maybe check for OSGeo incubation? Does anyone have experience with that? What's the best way to proceed and how we determine PSC members? Best Regards, Alan On 13-11-09 04:19 PM, Ivan Mincik wrote:
