<br>
Our civilization went through a major crisis in the last year. These<br>
days, the world is still holding its breath, waiting for a<br>
solution to the current COVID-19 pandemic. We were all scared and<br>
worried for our family and friends and for our future. However, in time,<br>
we learn how to cope with the situation and how to fight back. And we<br>
have great hopes as the vaccination programs started to roll out across<br>
the globe. Our community has to fight back as well and to find solutions<br>
to continue with our activities. This is why our beloved event, the<br>
global FOSS4G conference, must go on, in one way or the other. If<br>
physical conference will not be possible, well... we must reinvent and<br>
keep the FOSS4G spirit alive.<br>
<br>
Today, OSGeo's Conference Committee is happy to announce that the call<br>
for location for the<br>
<br>
"Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Conference 2022"<br>
<br>
is open. The events is to be held in Europe or North America. Only in<br>
case that we do not receive any appropriate bid from these parts of the<br>
world, we will consider to accept bids from any region.<br>
<br>
Historically, every FOSS4G bid was a great challenge for the LOCs. 2022<br>
will add a bit extra. But, as an anime character once said "Hard work<br>
betrays none". And OSGeo is committed to stand by the hard working LOCs<br>
to provide all the needed support.<br>
<br>
Please find all details on our wiki page [1]. In case that you have any<br>
questions, don't hesitate to ask the Conference Committee [2]!<br>
<br>
<br>
May the FOSS4G be with everyone,<br>
<br>
Vasile & Msilikale, on behalf of OSGeo's Conference Committee<br>
