<div>Thanks Jody,<br>
<br>
This is a great idea and actually we would be forced to arrange
something like this due to our bylaws.<br>
I am wondering if we should target the dates we had for FOSS4G or
later in the year.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

<pre>I think that is a fantastic idea. We could even make it longer and have
sections for projects and local / regional groups. Harder for a full
conference but for an AGM it’s a great idea. And we can have a lots of
questions/answers/discussions. Either a full day or a few half days I
think.
