Jody, board,<br>
I am personally stretched beyond the amount of amount of volunteer
time I am able to contribute, and I have not been contributing to
the marketing committee.<br>
<br>
With the marketing committee previously all but collapsed, I don't
have the time or inclination to carry the committee on my own. My
feeling is that if there isn't enough volunteer interest to step up
to the committee, then maybe it isn't important enough to the
community.<br>
<br>
This might be changing with recent interest shown by Marc and
Nicolas. I'd be interested to hear their thoughts.<br>
<br>
To make it clear, I'm hereby stepping down as OSGeo Marketing
Committee chair - although I'm willing to act as a committee member
and support someone else who steps up.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div>Cameron would it be possible to update the <a
