<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Luigi in that we should be aware of this and have common rules. I think this falls into the "common sense" that is not so common once you start mixing cultures. I have also experienced this "I prefer to have someone not from
my company do this" to make sure everything is clear and transparent while I saw other people not waiting for that. And, at the same time, I have nominated a coworker not because he's in my company but because I knew he deserved it.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So... where to draw the line? More complex rules? Trust an abstract "common sense" that will differ depending on the individual?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, if there is no "rule" or "recommendation" about what to do about lobbies... why would a company think it is bad to lobby inside OSGeo and have members participating? Why would anyone think it is bad to have their private interests
pushing? I mean, for me it is clear but I understand not everyone understands open software the same way. If you go to more capitalist liberal cultures, you may found people thinking that the obvious way to work is to have companies investing directly on their
interests through OSGeo, so pushing to have more power inside OSGeo to recover that investment makes sense to them. It is another way of understanding open software. A way I don't agree with, but who am I to say it is not valid... unless OSGeo explicitly says
so?</p>
