Since you mentioned my name, I tried very hard to make relationships with so many communities (remember, at some point I was told that OSGeo was being too inclusive, reaching out to too many groups); so it is hard to please everyone. For sure there is more to do, and OSGeo's OpenData committee needs love, needs more passionate voices, as I hear in your voice. Maybe Jachym you could kick-start that committee? Sometimes committees need a little nudge, to get things moving again. Call a meeting of the data committee, create an agenda, and set some tasks (it's a good way to get things going again).<span class=""><br>

I'm just trying to put my memories together - I'm glad, we are all on<br>
the same board. I try to push open (geo)data topic as well, in or out<br>
of OSGeo<br>

Hi Jachym,<br>
<br>
I have given talks on OSGeo and open data. I am sorry to hear that you<br>
believe I said that about the foundation. I do believe we've discussed<br>
this in face-to-face board meetings before, so maybe that is where you<br>
heard this? I remember a discussion of adding open data into our<br>
foundation's mission statement, which I believe we did.<br>
