Bob,

I've written up a few of my thoughts on a revitalized Spotlights effort
at:

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Spotlights

While clearly you can't interview yourself I don't see any big issues with
conflicts of interest on related projects as long as you can keep enough
distance to ensure the result is reasonably understandable to the general
OSGeo audience.

Best regards,
