Hi Cameron,<br><br>I don't mind a public response.<br><br>I feel the OSGeo Conference Committee is very important. I would enjoy<br>taking an active role in it again. I feel it should be revived as soon<br>as possible.<br><br>I don't exactly know the correct process to name a chair - I am<br>interested in being the chair, but we need to make sure we follow<br>correct process. I'll ping the conference list to discuss all of that.<br><br>Regarding the OSGeo-Advocate page (I will speak freely, I hope that is<br>ok): one point that always hits my brain as I click on that page, is,<br>how do you decide the ordering of countries on that page? Is there<br>logic used? Otherwise, my brain wants an alphabetical listing (or a<br>note above that explains the ordering); it seems to me to be very<br>unorganized. I hope you don't take offense to that comment (I just<br>don't want to start editing the wiki and stepping on toes,
which, I have<br>a habit of doing too often).<br><br>Indeed it is impressive seeing all the great names on that page, such<br>talented people!<br><br>Talk soon,<br><br>-jeff<br><br><br><br><br>On 12-07-24 5:34 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote:<br>> Jeff,<br>> Sent personally, but you are welcome to email your response publicly.<br>> Thanks for clarifying your position.<br>> <br>> I'm interested to hear where you stand on the OSGeo Conference<br>> Committee, which I understand is lacking a chair, and is currently very<br>> quiet.
