Fair enough, I think that the very fact that Nyall was the proponent for
Vincent shows that it would be possible, 5 is a gut number, it might be
3, 5, 5 with at least 3 non coworkers, X.
The main point to me is that we have great core devs that are very
involved with the project and are definitely better suited than some of
us in the PSC to take such a technical decision. It is not like we have
a new core dev candidate every week, so they know each other and it
would not be a big amount of work for them.
My point on mentioning the coworkers is that I would not want to have
Matthias, Denis and David being the only ones to vouch for a new
OPENGIS.ch employee.
Cheers
