<div>Barry, I'm glad you mentioned JOSIS. I was about to comment on this myself, and you beat me to it! These folks have some ideals that are fairly well aligned with OSGeo ideals and it would be nice to support them. I suppose there are a couple of ways to do that. One is to contact them about some kind of a merger whereby JOSIS accepts some OSGeo people as board members and in return OSGeo adopts JOSIS as it's officially sanctioned outlet for research publication. I see this as a bit of an extreme option, but something that might be worth considering... - Dan</div>
