Dear All<br>
I agree completely with Margherita. The most of people are asking
themselves what it is happening.<br>
Please who was and is involved, please write the history of what
has happened on a wiki page. When the plot is finalised the
charter members vote.

Just noting,<br>
<br>
discussion about relationship between LocationTech and
OSGeo is here<br>
since 2012 (IIRC). That many people did not pain
attention to it<br>
(actually including myself up to certain time), is not
fault of OSGeo<br>
.. or LocationTech.<br>
<br>
It's just actually boring topic. We are community of
(mostly)<br>
developers and users of FOSS4G (not conference, but
software in this<br>
case). This sounds like politics .. who would pay
attention? So, now<br>
we are here, things are happening, we can finally talk
to whole<br>
community, because of this IMHO *is* important topic -
two big<br>
organisations are trying to find a way, how to
cooperate in the future<br>
for better free and open source software for
geospatial! This is good.<br>
If for nothing else, then for clarifying OSGeo's
position.<br>

<div>If anyone is wondering why most charter
members remained silent about the topic, here i can
offer my 2 cents..</div>
<div>It is true that this is a long story, but
it's hard to find all the elements needed for
judgement. I'd ask those that have personally followed
the steps, to kindly fill a wiki page with the most
important facts. Another thing is that, for those that
couldn't make it at FOSS4G, it is (I believe) not easy
to understand on what exactly the community of charter
members is being called to express their opinion. What
does it mean "to cooperate" and what does it imply for
the organizations involved? Is it a case by case
cooperation what you're talking about? why it looks
like is the FOSS4G event at stake here?</div>
