I know.
I think the only way is to repeat the message. And keep asking.
We are all busy with our daily activities, and OSGeo is just something
on top, and we want to bring professional results to give new people the
experience of reliable products, so we don't think at informing each
other enough.
So, keep asking, and creat short and crisp overviews abouot what
everybody is doing during the AGM.
just my 2c
