Yes, I agree with you. I already try to work in a "liaison" way on both
sides. We can formalize this status of mine (or anybody’s else!) on our
next meeting (?).

I do have little problem with the community feedback - apparently I did
not manage to hit the proper niche of people, giving feedback (even we
did obtain several positive reactions via mailing lists).

What I want to say: if we would be searching for OSGeo representative in
the FOSS4G-Europe LOC except for myself, would conference-dev be the
right place to go? Isn't there some better way, how to ask people, who
want to make such type of contribution? I would like to see someone from
not-targeted-yet (yet strong) communities being on the
foss4g-europe-board for 2014, how could also cover the OSGeo
representation there, like Dutch Language OSGeo Chapter, French language
OSGeo Chapter or for example United Kingdom OSGeo Chapter.

If you think, my personality is the best at the moment, I'm going to do it.
