Hello OSGeo Community!
We would like to invite you to our Annual General Meeting (AGM) during FOSS4G on Friday, October 1st 2021 from 14h to 15h UTC.
We are happy to meet you at our global FOSS4G conference again, even though it will be virtual, instead of face to face.
For 2021, we are introducing a new concept. We would like to publish the OSGeo annual update as a video, in advance of the AGM on the OSGeo YouTube channel [1]. This way, we will have time for an open discussion during the AGM slot at FOSS4G. Thus, all local chapters, projects, committees and initiatives are invited to prepare a short video of 1 minute to present their status report, updates, COVID-19 impact, future plans and last year’s achievements.
We hope you like the idea! However, you have to get active in advance, so please take a close look to the timeline below:
Timeline
– 2021-08-30: send us your video and update the AGM 2021 slides [2]
– 2021-09-10: AGM 2021 complete video will be published
– 2021-10-01: 11h Argentinian Time Zone (14:00 UTC) Join the AGM 2021 meeting at FOSS4G [3] [4]
Your AGM video is going to be one minute of fame and shine for our community, so don’t let it pass! It is important for all of us to know what is happening everywhere. OSGeo is huge and this is the best way to get a summary of all the amazing work we are doing!
Check this wiki page [5] for an overview of the AGM 2021 and for the upload link for your video that we will soon provide. In the wiki, you will find all the important information, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Please, don’t forget to also add your information to the AGM 2021 slides [2], but make sure you use only one (or two) slides per team. If you want to edit it and still don’t have privileges to do so, please let us know and tell us which team you represent so we can provide write access.
Spread the information about the AGM 2021 and save the date!
We hope to see as many of you at the AGM in October.
Stay safe,
Angelos Tzotsos
President of OSGeo
