Day two of the blogging experiment

Today sees a large amount of discusssion on the foundation mailing list about classes of membership. There seems to be a feeling that limiting the initial membership to 45 is too restrictive. While I'm against the foundation being seen as elitist and closed I also feel we need to keep the size down, at least at the beginiing, so that we can make decsions quickly and easily.

One idea that I think has some merit is the concept of associate members or friends of the foundation where by people can join the foundation in some sense and provide support and encouragement to the aims and goals of the foundation.

update: The new foundation web site www.osgeo.org is now working. As are the disscussion lists.
