Open Letter

We have assembled in order to get things done. High priority stuff to get done is a shared infrastructure for really strong cross-distribution and promotion - shared documentation and educational resources - localised packages of data and interfaces and applications.

OSGeo is ongoingly finding a structure that works to get things done. Here are two different kinds of structures:

.. hierarchical ...

... a cellular network ...

How does such a network generate meta level co-ordination - planning and learnign from reflection? How can that be achieved by limiting the amount of instruction, focusing on operations and the will and entitlement to enact them. "no jobs; just things to do and people to do them."
