obviously quality virtual participation being the alternative. Not to exclude the benefits of a physical meeting but allow for an expansion of that so players can join up virtually. A chart showing how much poop was prevented might help to encourage more ways
to improve our efficiency. I hope I am accurately understanding what is being discussed, never quite sure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'm not averse to the notion, but given the mixed/tepid response to this email thread, it doesn't seem like something the community has any particular desire for.<br>

if you feel OSGeo should have an environmental policy, you could certainly <br>
propose one for consideration by the larger community, and then volunteer to <br>
champion to make it adopted, and enforce it afterwards. <br>
