quote of note:
The wrong way to launch a MapServer Foundation would be to begin in secret, and orchestrate the incorporation for the competitive advantage of a few select entities. The Mambo Foundation Fiasco provides us a great recent example of how to screw up a foundation in exactly this way. Any future MapServer Foundation, no matter how well intentioned, has to begin in the open or risk a FUBAR state.
