[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGEO4W future

[Frank Warmerdam]

Paolo,

As you know I am in support of establishing a PSC for the OSGeo4W project,
and would be pleased to participate.  I would encourage you to email
osgeo4w-dev and lets get this under way.

(unable to sleep at 3am in Notthingham)

Best regards,
Frank
