Am I the only person who finds it difficult to follow a thread in
a mailing list where postings get repeated continuously as the
thread is replied to (let alone our tendency to post across
several lists - mea culpa)?
<div><br>

<div>Dare I suggest that we seek a simpler and clearer forum for
this discussion? I’m not suggesting abandoning the lists just
using a better tool for a discussion in which we want to engage
a lot of people.<br>

<br>
Another question: of course, I'm talking about goals and
OSGeo future,<br>
but FOSS4G is one of OSGeo's most important event, it has
"some"<br>
functions, can be decide who it should be organised without
knowing,<br>

wasn't Cameron referring specifically to what options we
have to<br>

And you were talking more about OSGeo's goals etc. ?<br>
<br>
Also, I think it makes sense to create some content in a
Wiki first, and use<br>
that content to create a questionnaire. It's hard to
create a good<br>
questionnaire from scratch if the solutions haven't been
discussed in detail<br>
and worked on by multiple people IMHO.<br>

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

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>

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