[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Fwd: Code of Conduct in Real Case

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Bart,

Yup I fully agree, I was explaining to those passionate about this of 
the Board meeting date, how to ask the Board, I even created a wiki page 
for the committee, etc, but those interested got quiet (I can't push 
everything).  There currently isn't a method to discuss, so this was 
offline, but hopefully my public push that you mentioned, will give 
everyone the deadline they need.

(by the way, yes I'm keeping my response to only 1 list)
