color=#0000ff size=2>Should there be a requirement that any submitted
functionality come with a plan for funding the development, or will this be a
purely merit-based process. If merit-based, how to we prioritise once the
features have been let past the gate? On a funding basis? What if we
have some funding floating around because of generous donations to the
project?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I think that the voting provision for removing members
should be clarified, and perhaps we should consider another exit strategy in the
case that there is a rogue member that continues to participate, but in a
way that is counter to the goals of the project as a whole. And yes, my
glass is half-empty.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

MapGuide PSC<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>All,<BR><BR>Welcome to the MapGuide PSC. I created this mailing list
as a means for us to communicate as we get the PSC up and running. The mailing
list is open to all, but I simply added this your e-mail addresses to get things
going. Please review and comment (back to this list) on the PSC guidelines that
can now be found at: <A
href="https://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html">https://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html</A>.<BR><BR>I
would also like to propose an initial bootstrap meeting of the PSC on Wednesday
at 2:00 PM (EST) / 12:00 PM (MST) / 11:00 AM (PST). The agenda for that first
meeting is:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>Review and discuss the PSC Guidelines
<LI>Development and/or PSC Meetings on IRC
<LI>The psc vs dev mailing list. Do we need both?
<LI>Initial PSC size and member nominations. </LI></UL>As per open source
custom, the meeting will be held on IRC. For IRC newbies Chatzilla is probably
the best way to get going. It works with Firefox and once installed you can log
onto the channel by pointing your browser at: irc://irc.freenode.net/#mapguide.
You can download Chatzilla from: <A
href="http://www.hacksrus.com/%7Eginda/chatzilla/">http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/</A>.<BR><BR>Daniel
you have been included in the PSC mailing list and the meeting invite so that
you can monitor how things progress as we strive to satisfy our final incubation
requirement.<BR><BR>Please let me know if the meeting time works for you and if
not please propose a new time.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Bob<BR></BODY></HTML>
