<p>Re-interating what I said on the OSGeo Live list with Jody:</p>
<p>Firstly, it is great to see OSGeo-Live being engaged at the OSGeo
board level and an interest being taken in helping set our
direction.<br>
</p>
<p>However, one thing that makes me nervous is any gradual increase
in baseline tasks delegated to the OSGeo-Live core team,
especially when we have just gone through a de-scoping exercise
within OSGeo-Live to bring our level of effort back to our
volunteer capacity.<br>
</p>
<p>If the OSGeo board is making decisions that effect projects such
as OSGeo-Live:</p>
<p>1. The effected projects should be involved in the decision</p>
<p>2. The decision should consider how the impact of the decision
will be resourced.<br>
</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div dir="ltr">I had a review of the upcoming <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://live.osgeo.org">live.osgeo.org</a>
release, and noticed a couple things to update.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) The live.osgeo.porg <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/sponsors.html">sponsorship
list</a> included both project sponsors -- and OSGeo
sponsors. The result was quite out of date. As the board
member keeping tabs on sponsors this was my responsibility ..
but I did not know <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.osgeo.org">live.osgeo.org</a> was keeping
a list :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) More importantly the sponsors page has a section
describing <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/sponsors.html">osgeo
foundation</a> which had not been updated with our new
mission / vision. Once again we updated these statements as a
board, but did not chase it down into <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://live.osgeo.org">live.osgeo.org</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) As incubation chair I asked if OSGeo live could update
the branding for OSGeo Projects and OSGeo Community Projects.
This setup is in keeping with the board decision to open the
door to "innovation" last year by providing an easier way for
just-open-source projects to be supported by the foundation).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4) I asked if <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.osgeo.org">live.osgeo.org</a> could
include the new logo / color / font branding (it may be too
late, but it does not hurt to ask).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) I also asked as a LocationTech member if additional
cloud based projects could be listed on osgeo live. They are
an increasingly important part of our open source ecosystem,
but not listed on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.osgeo.org">live.osgeo.org</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have joined the project mailing list to provide the above
feedback more directly, however I want to emphasis that it is
not enough for us to make decisions as a board - we need to
reach out and communicate those decisions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With respect to the board decisions on
mission/vision/community projects are there any other areas we
need to update?<br clear="all">
