[Lexicon] Bootstrapping the OSGeo Lexicon Committee

[labrinos at eled.auth.gr]

Hi all,

I am Nikos Lambrinos, Professor of Aristotle University of  
Thessaloniki, Greece, Department of Primary Education, charter member  
of OSGeo and Chief editor of GeoForAll Newsletter.
Since the beginning of the Newsletter we formed a regular page with  
abbreviations of various spatial terms and international organizations  
dedicated to spatial actions and research.
I would be very happy to see that list growing and becoming a lexicon  
under the supervision of an international committee and scientists  
specialized in spatial sciences.
I will be glad to join the committee and promote the synergies of the  
committee through the Newsletter of Geo4All.

regards
Nikos Lambrinos

> 1. Contribute to related activities when the committee is active.
> 2. Help with whatever dirty work is required to keep the project  
> moving forward.
> 3. Monitor committee conversations on our email list.
>
> I expect there will be an initial burst of activity, then relatively  
> light involvement, mostly focused around periodic reviews of terms,  
> probably annually (although this is up for us to discuss).
>
> We will make decisions as per standard OSGeo processes:

> * I'm Cameron Shorter and have been involved in OSGeoLive and  
> TheGoodDocsProject.
> * I'm hoping to see best practices in managing OSGeo terminology  
> evolve from this group.
> * I'd like to see a glossary of OSGeo terms collated into OSGeoLive  
> documentation (released annually in line with FOSS4G).
> * I'd like to see best practices in lexicon and glossary management  
> be collated into a template, which will be included in the newly
