Dear all,

This is somehow understandable given the pandemic context and the difficulty in predicting how the next period will  be. However, we need to work together (perhaps also with the OSGeo board) to find a solution.

The same happened with SotM 2022 but none appeared, so we as Italian
group (a little bit different from FOSS4G one) applied at the end of
December and we were alone again.

I think we need to change FOSS4G "infrastructure", we need a stable
working group representing OSGeo and the local committee join this
stable group (this is like SotM and HOT summit are working). This
should not solve the problem of no bid but could help in future to get
more proposals since the local chapter has no more pressure about all
the management.
Without proposals, an online version is the only way I can see.
