Hi Kristin,<br>
Sorry to hear about breaking your leg. I appreciate how that can
slow you down. I'm glad to hear you are still interested.<br>
<br>
With regards to moving forward, I suggest there is a mismatch
between scope of work identified in the wiki, and number of official
people on the committee (currently 1):<br>
<br>
In particular, the wiki talks about developing a CoC Implementation
Policy and associated documentation, which I expect will be quite
time consuming to develop.<br>
<br>
So I suggest that we either:<br>
* Reduce scope of work. Ie prioritise what in the wiki will be done
first.<br>
* Recruit members to the committee in order to spread work<br>
* Align with other Open Source communities in order to share work<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<div><div class="h5"><br>

</div>
<div>Actually, I'm co-chairing (although Kate has certainly been
involved in discussions of these issues [thanks, Kate!]).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Apologies -- I've been a bit silent as of late because I
broke my leg ~ a month ago while solo backpacking. I'm finally
getting back on top of things post-surgery and mid-recovery.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Addressing your questions:</div>
<div>1) Thoughts moving forward. // I would very much like to
continue as a co-chair -- so I am looking to have someone else
step up to co-captain with me. If no one does so, I'll finish
out the rest of my promised year-long term solo. (That said, I
think a diversity of perspectives would be useful, and would
prefer to have someone along with me.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Specific ideas on what I'd like to see done. //
Generally, I'd like to see the committee move forward per our
board-approved mission [1] -- "[make] sure that OSGeo
continues to be an inclusive and welcoming organization ....
by <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.4px">(1)
guiding policy around the CoC and other initiatives to
increase diversity and (2) dealing with reports of
violations of the CoC." I think this could take different
forms depending on what is happening in the community. (I
realize this is not a collection of 'specific ideas' --
curious to hear how others envision these things taking
shape.)</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) Personal availability for involvement. // I am committed
to supporting this kind of work; that said, geo is a small
part of my job (educational technology @ a small liberal arts
college) and I need to allocate my time accordingly. Another
reason that I'd like a teammate in this work: increased
capacity.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps spark some initial discussions. List,
thoughts?</div>

Hi Kate,<br>
I understand that you have been working with Camille as
co-chair to date? What are your thoughts in moving
forward? Do you have specific ideas on what you'd like to
see done? What is your personal availability for
involvement like?<br>

<div>Dear Everyone, <br>
<br>
</div>
I am writing to let you know that I am
stepping down from my position as co-chair
of the OSGeo COC Committee. As some of you
may know, at the time I initially became
involved with OSGeo, I was working at a
company closely aligned with the
organization and was excited to deepen my
involvement in the community. However, I
was let go from that company many months
ago and have taken on a position in a
different space. So, working with OSGeo is
unfortunately no longer aligned with my
goals. <br>
<br>
</div>
I am glad for the lively exchanges I've had
with many of you and hope the work can go on
(Kristin, I hope your leg is fully healed
soon!). That said, I need to drop off all
OSGeo lists, but if you ever need to reach
me, my email is <a href="mailto:camille.acey@gmail.com" target="_blank">camille.acey@gmail.com</a>.
<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks for your time and understanding. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely, </div>
Camille</div>
