Hi Marc,<br>
Thanks for stepping up.<br>
Yes, I'd be happy to answer questions about what has been done in
the past to help avoid re-inventing the wheel, and provide pointers
if appropriate.<br>
<br>
Bottle necks we have is:<br>
<br>
1. Criteria for what OSGeo considers worth sponsoring should be
updated (or completely re-written).<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee#Current_Marketing_Activities">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee#Current_Marketing_Activities</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exhibition_Pack#Getting_an_Exhibition_Pack">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exhibition_Pack#Getting_an_Exhibition_Pack</a><br>
<br>
2. Process for requesting, approving and allocating funding be put
in place. Previously this involved putting a request to vote from
the marketing email list.<br>
<br>
3. Process for paying for activities/items be put in place.
Previously this involved the Marketing Chair telling OSGeo Treasurer
to pay someone. This was a time consuming process, and cost OSGeo
$30 per transaction to write a cheque. This process could be
improved.<br>
<br>
I'll answer Helena's email separately.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

Jody, board,<br>
I am personally stretched beyond the amount of amount of
volunteer time I am able to contribute, and I have not been
contributing to the marketing committee.<br>
<br>
With the marketing committee previously all but collapsed, I
don't have the time or inclination to carry the committee on
my own. My feeling is that if there isn't enough volunteer
interest to step up to the committee, then maybe it isn't
important enough to the community.<br>
<br>
This might be changing with recent interest shown by Marc and
Nicolas. I'd be interested to hear their thoughts.<br>
<br>
To make it clear, I'm hereby stepping down as OSGeo Marketing
Committee chair - although I'm willing to act as a committee
member and support someone else who steps up.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>
