[Geo4All] [OSGeo-Discuss] The International Day of Non-Violence

[JOHN]

Dear Colleagues,

After reading from all of you, I think Sergio is right, I also know Suchith
besides, and such feedback shouldn't have been on the group. We need not to
give our community a sense of scrutiny to our posts else psychologically,
they begin to analyse and question every other official communication.
Secondly, it may discourage the spirit of service in Suchith. I suggest the
Management of Geo-For-All sends a letter of appreciation or acknowledgement
to Suchith and others who actively engage the community.
We may also create an engagement guide which I suggest Steven could give a
first stab at it and share for contribution.

I deliberately did not copy  Suchith.
Regards
