<P><FONT size=2>I would also be +1 with this, and would like to collect more

<P><FONT size=2>Nod, I'm writing up the Geodata Committee meeting / activity
summary</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>today, and I'll try to make it a more
discursive one than the previous, </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>and forward it here.
I'm sure that everyone within OSGeo would be</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>interested in reading committee reports, and commenting on them.
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>Sending meeting reports to the discuss list doesn't
seem appropriate</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>to me, perhaps I'm wrong about that.
Ideally this should be part of the</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>flow of something
that we are doing anyway, not an extra 'reporting'</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>workload. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I had a quick look at the Committee pages on the wiki,
thinking (after</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>a brief IRC discussion with Frank
about this earlier) to drop a quick</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>email to the
Committee chairs and remind them about this. Then I</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>realised that apart from the Education committee, which hasn't
kicked</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>off its activities yet (that I am aware of) all
the other Committee</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>chairs are Board members or are
lurking on the Board list anyway. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Perhaps, as Tyler suggested, a nag-bot would do this job as
well as a</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>human would :)</FONT> </P><BR>
