Hey Barend:
This was first brought to my attention in the Boston f2f meeting, while
there were some questions we did end up with a couple of action items:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Boston_2017#Vote_on_funding_requests
- Action Venka: Ask Franz to ask in public on the board email list?
- Action Helena: Ask Charlie if foss4g Bonn publication accept a few
more papers?
Venka/Helena was there any response?
You are totally welcome to attend any board meeting, especially if anything
is time critical. I will point out that while the board can make decisions
we are a contributor driven organization requiring participation to get
work done.
