[OSGeo-Conf] Poll: Change FOSS4G structure to have some continuity of organization and management

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Dear conference community,
why is the community left out from this decision / discussion?

The FOSS4G conference is a property of OSGeo, and therefore of the
community as a whole.
The conference committee has not been elected so cannot decide in
representation of the community.

As an OPEN community I strongly believe that all the charter members (at
least) should have a word or vote on such an important decision.

I hope this message is not ignored..

Maxi
