[Web Comm] Membership confirmation

[Fred warnock]

Hi folks,

I've been silent the past few months because I have not had the time to 
commit to figuring out what the heck was going on.  For now, I think I 
should probably step out, since I've effectively done that anyway.

I volunteered to be part of this committee because I was interested in 
working out the structure, navigation and design, and getting things 
going in participation with the rest of the committee.  I designed and 
built the original temporary "MapServer Foundation" site, and wanted to 
continue in that but I very quickly realized that this role was not 
available because either the software system or our communication 
presented too great a barrier for me.

As a side note, I was confused from day one.  For some reason I could 
never get the big picture on what was going on, or what the web comm's 
role was supposed to be.  I also couldn't get the details, and always 
felt that I was only being exposed to half the communication.  Things 
just looked like they were all happening at the same time, on their own.

As it turned out, the timing was just no good for me either, as the 
company I work for embarked on one of the biggest software development 
projects we've ever undertaken.  I applaud those who managed to get in 
there and spend the time to figure things out and who are taking 
initiative now.

I am encouraged by the enthusiasm in the email lately and I hope things 
are on a better track now.  I aim to be at that meeting tomorrow, but I 
just want to see if there is a role for me in the new committee.

I'm not committing to anything yet!
