[Gary Lang]

+1 from me, as long as the new board members send me their prioritizaton spreadsheet by the end of the day tomorrow ;-)

	I would also be +1 with this, and would like to collect more thoughts 
	on middle ground between "sprint" on short-term goals (Incubation) and 
	longer-term ones (pilot projects that would benefit from 
	infrastructure already in place) and where the middle ground can be.

	Nod, I'm writing up the Geodata Committee meeting / activity summary 
	today, and I'll try to make it a more discursive one than the previous, 
	and forward it here. I'm sure that everyone within OSGeo would be 
	interested in reading committee reports, and commenting on them. 
	Sending meeting reports to the discuss list doesn't seem appropriate 
	to me, perhaps I'm wrong about that. Ideally this should be part of the 
	flow of something that we are doing anyway, not an extra 'reporting' 
	workload. 

	I had a quick look at the Committee pages on the wiki, thinking (after 
	a brief IRC discussion with Frank about this earlier) to drop a quick 
	email to the Committee chairs and remind them about this. Then I 
	realised that apart from the Education committee, which hasn't kicked 
	off its activities yet (that I am aware of) all the other Committee 
	chairs are Board members or are lurking on the Board list anyway. 

	Perhaps, as Tyler suggested, a nag-bot would do this job as well as a 
	human would :)
