[pgrouting-users] Motion for Project Steering Commitee and call for participation

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your support. And thank you for the "reminder" in the PostGIS
mailing list ;-)
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2010-February/025971.html

I'm still waiting for some more feedback to this email and want to give
people a  bit more time to answer. Then I agree to go ahead and start
discussion about what comes next (driving directions, documentation,
whatever). It was the main idea behind a PSC to get more people involved and
make decisions as a community.

Daniel
