Ok... as there have been no other votes this week I evaluated the votes.
The result is: -1: not joining OSGEO: null 0: I don't know if we should join: 6 +1: we should join OSGEO: 3 so, it looks like we have "a" task for next year ;) I hope to have some look on the open issues again over the hoilday season to be able to propose a kind of schedule. Email reminders to me on that task are welcome with the beginning of 2010. (its just that I recently concentrate often on other things - i.e. my university work) cheers from Calgary Stefan Stefan Steiniger schrieb: > 8 votes so far > > Any further votes? > > Stefan > > > Stefan Steiniger wrote: >> Dear OpenJUMP Fellows, >> >> I am not sure who did follow my discussion with Landon on the wiki >> hosting.
