[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board Election Results

[P Kishor]

This is not a definitive "weigh-in," and frankly, I had not even
thought of seeing the vote count until the suggestion, but it might be
worthwhile (I am not saying "do it"; I am saying, think about doing
it... there might be benefits).

In the spirit of openness, it would be worthwhile seeing where the
charter members thought it best to cast their votes. While
embarrassment is a possible consequence, I believe if I were running
for a Board member, and if I lost, I would still like to see the
votes... I am not interested in seeing who voted for who... I am more
interested in seeing the voting pattern as a reflection of the pattern
of interest, awareness, and even a need for doing more.
