[Board] Annual Report

[Robert Bray]

If I remember all the way back to Chicago, I think we agreed that each project should be submitting a report on a regular (quarterly?) basis. I don't know that any of the projects have really been doing that, but I know I have not produced one for MapGuide. It would of course be easier to produce these (and for someone to consolidate into a report) if we had a standard template for these.

Thoughts?

Bob

Hi Frank,
I agree - it's been on my list of things to do.  I had hoped to have
one for the AGM.  It is also why I have tried to get projects and
committees into the habit of providing input for the journal regularly.

I think we can start by asking all the projects, committees and local
chapters to submit reports.  If we can't get them, then the full
report itself will be rather empty.  It is also a lot of work to
compile this information into a readable format, so it's not
something I feel I can do on my own.

Looking forward to discussing it further,
Tyler
