It sounds like it might be worth revisiting, and potentially drawing 
upon relationships we have within OSGeo, UbuntuGIS and DebianGIS to see

I suspect Bas might be able to call on a favour or two, or we might be 
able to call upon the OSGeo Board to reach out.

Who are the people within OGC to talk with about this?
