There was a special session Friday morning at BoostCon 2011 to announce the formation of a Boost Steering Committee.
It's certainly good news (even if I was aware of it before this email). But I have one immediate concern..

Being a board member, of a political organization, I'm familiar with the dynamics of filling committees and boards to represent the varied interests of the members. And I worry that, AFAICT, the above misses the rather important demographic of: * The people that are highly active in the community but can't come to the conference because of various reasons. In my case for economic reasons, but for others it's geographic reasons, etc. * The people from non-US locales. Hopefully you will consider ways of including the diverse Boost population as time goes on. Anyway, good news to hear :-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
