Hi all.
I think we should do every possible effort to have Radim Blazek on
board. We simply cannot afford missing him, as he's the author of most
of the newest parts of GRASS: vectors, database, and qgis integration.
All the best.

I don't like jumping to conclusions without support so I have compiled a list of some of the successes and challenges of the PSC process to date. This is a combination of what I have been experiencing and what GRASS community members have forwarded to me off-line.

The approach was to get the group together and working. It was not known that various nominated people were not interested in participating in the PSC, despite documentation on the wiki. There were perhaps more questions that needed answering, and more and more of those questions are answered as we progress.
> The voting strategy was not intended necessarily as one of go/no-go acceptance into the PSC. It was more for a show of support by the community. Eg "the GRASS PSC was formed through minimum supportive votes in an open process". This was also to accommodate a less formal approach as was desired by many community members. However, there are some concerns this isn't structured enough. Perhaps we want a maximum number of people on the PSC (proposed 7 to 11). Perhaps we want a share of programmers / users / other stakeholders. So I open the process back up to the community.
