| 08:39:17 | hobu: | I like MapServer and all, but I don't think *any* web mapping software has a 100k users : ) |
| 08:39:21 | adoyle: | marketing, where else... |
| 08:39:30 | adoyle: | define user... |
| 08:39:31 | HyperJohnGraham: | downloads : ) |

| 11:17:59 | : | * Bull_[UK] is back [ www.bullsworld.co.uk ] |
| 15:34:13 | sevenof9: | AGM about to start. |
| 15:34:17 | sevenof9: | Tyler Go! |
| 15:34:57 | HyperJohnGraham: | where is the webcast ??? |
| 15:43:34 | sevenof9: | Good question. |
| 15:43:46 | sevenof9: | I cannot see anything like it. |
| 15:43:48 | sevenof9: | HyperJohnGraham: Why are you not here? |
| 15:44:16 | sevenof9: | First applause for Tyler. |
| 15:44:24 | sevenof9: | He talks about what his job is etc. |
| 15:45:58 | : | * sevenof9 wonders whether anybody is taking notes? Is there a web cast? |
| 15:47:29 | bitner: | I think that Tyler was going to set up a web cast, but it doesn't seem to be working |
| 15:47:36 | sevenof9: | Hmmm. |
| 15:47:57 | sevenof9: | My connection is crappy, my notes get stuck somewhere. |
| 15:48:11 | sevenof9: | I hope that crschmidt is taking notes. |
| 15:48:18 | sevenof9: | he is so much faster... |
| 15:48:45 | bitner: | sponsorhip background now |

| 15:59:07 | sevenof9: | If there is need for formal backing, approach the board. |
| 15:59:12 | sevenof9: | Get a mailing list, etc. |
| 15:59:40 | sevenof9: | If the group is to be more formal bring a proposal to the BoD to get the official stamp. |

| 17:09:35 | bitner: | open floor discussion |
| 17:09:37 | : | * Bull_[UK] is back [ www.bullsworld.co.uk ] |
| 17:09:39 | bitner: | no plans no rules |
| 17:09:48 | bitner: | just get done in time to get some beer |
| 17:10:02 | sevenof9: | fight for your right to Open Source |
| 17:10:05 | sevenof9: | or something like that |
| 17:10:19 | bitner: | howdy tschaub |
| 17:10:28 | tschaub: | yo |
| 17:11:18 | bitner: | should there be more input in decision making for conference location |
| 17:11:36 | bitner: | right now just conf comm gets RFP and votes internally |
| 17:11:36 | : | * tschaub was hoping I'd catch crschmidt talkin smack about me |
| 17:11:37 | sevenof9: | how to decide where to move with FOSS4G in years to come? |
| 17:11:45 | bitner: | too late |
| 17:11:51 | sevenof9: | currnently it is a committee decision |
| 17:12:04 | bitner: | this is the longest I've ever been on irc that crschmidt hasn't said anything at all |
| 17:12:06 | sevenof9: | should it be a broader member decision? |
| 17:12:15 | tschaub: | broken finger? |
| 17:12:31 | bitner: | he's got a laptop on in front of him |
| 17:12:56 | bitner: | conference committee does need to be voted in |
| 17:13:03 | crschmidt: | I've been working on routing |
| 17:13:22 | bitner: | crschmidt: :- ) |
| 17:13:37 | bitner: | during the workshop we were seeing how far apart in BC we could go |
| 17:14:33 | tschaub: | crschmidt: you do the routing workshop? |
| 17:14:38 | crschmidt: | yep! |
| 17:14:49 | crschmidt: | But yeah, I don't pay much attention to IRC when I'm in deep hack mode |
| 17:14:54 | crschmidt: | and installing pgrouting requires deep hack mode |
| 17:15:13 | ominoverde: | it does! |
| 17:15:16 | bitner: | try getting boost etc. compiled on solaris! |
| 17:15:37 | crschmidt: | I got it built |
| 17:15:58 | crschmidt: | It actually took less time to get built than to fix all the things the pgrouting demo has that were OpenLayers librayr differences! |
| 17:16:21 | bitner: | shoulda just grabbed an old OL |
| 17:16:26 | bitner: | ;- ) |
| 17:16:31 | crschmidt: | it seems like they were using pre-2.4 WKT parser, Google Mercator from the sandbox, and applyDefaults from post-2.5 |
| 17:16:41 | crschmidt: | ( A patch they submitted a couple weeks ago ) |
| 17:16:49 | sevenof9: | There is a problem with transparency of processes? |
| 17:17:09 | sevenof9: | wrt board votes, CFP votes, etc. |
| 17:17:26 | bitner: | why pass xml format instead of just using merge( ) or st_union in postgis and passing just the wkt |
| 17:19:39 | bitner: | helena --- discussions are the most important part |
| 17:20:04 | bitner: | get feedback about what is really important fo people |
| 17:20:57 | sevenof9: | In the beginning OSGeo was do-ocratic driven |
| 17:21:01 | sevenof9: | maybe that is changing now? |
| 17:21:20 | sevenof9: | It will also slow OSGeo down |
| 17:23:30 | sevenof9: | interaction with the people who put together the proposals |
| 17:26:54 | bitner: | sevenof9 advocates more smaller conferences |
| 17:30:30 | sevenof9: | Conference as a revenue generating event for OSGeo funding? |
| 17:30:37 | sevenof9: | ...was discussed at board meeting |
| 17:31:48 | sevenof9: | #1: How good or bad is it if we want to make revenue with the conferences |
| 17:31:58 | sevenof9: | #2: should we move around the world |
| 17:33:09 | : | * bitner puts computer away... about time to go get some beer! |
| 17:34:38 | sevenof9: | who is that? |
| 17:35:27 | ominoverde: | Gavin Flaming maybe? |
| 17:35:35 | : | * ominoverde don't really know Gavin |
| 17:37:07 | sevenof9: | OL had only two people, but now there are more |
| 17:37:28 | sevenof9: | Q was which kind of project can go into OSGeo Incubation |
| 17:38:12 | sevenof9: | Schuyler explains that the Incubation process was an incentive to get going and open the project. |
| 17:38:24 | sevenof9: | Incubation is a way to more opennenss |
| 17:40:07 | ominoverde: | ciao! |
| 17:40:15 | sevenof9: | Tyler ends AGM! |
| 17:40:22 | sevenof9: | cu |
