    <p>+1 from me too for comments and reasoning from the wise people on
      this email thread who have spoken before me.<br>
    </p>
    <p>LocationTech and the Eclipse Foundation have stepped up and
      provided a huge amount of generous support, expertise and
      professionalism. They provided backing to financially risky FOSS4G
      events. During the 2009 financial crisis when I was FOSS4G-global
      chair, for a while I was seriously concerned that FOSS4G was going
      to be a financial disaster and was going to bankrupt OSGeo. It
      would have been nice to have LocationTech helping out back then.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I'm sure LocationTech now have the message that it would be
      valuable to open the books. Maybe they will share something in
      their own time. They have no contractual obligations to do so, and
      I'm suspecting there are business pressures they face to not open
      the books. Let's accept that, and take it as a lesson for future
      events. There are always things that we could have done better or
      differently and we sometimes forget to acknowledge what we have
      done well. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I'm more concerned that LocationTech has felt that they should
      step back from FOSS4G involvement. Are we making it hard and
      unwelcoming for a segment of our community to engage with OSGeo
      activities?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>
