      Dear All<br>
      I agree completely with Margherita. The most of people are asking
      themselves what it is happening.<br>
      Please who was and is involved, please write the history of what
      has happened on a wiki page. When the plot is finalised the
      charter members  vote.

                  discussion about relationship between LocationTech and

                  since 2012 (IIRC). That many people did not pain

                  <br>
                  It's just actually boring topic. We are community of

                  developers and users of FOSS4G (not conference, but
                  software in this<br>

                  we are here, things are happening, we can finally talk

                  community, because of this IMHO *is* important topic -

                  cooperate in the future<br>
                  for better free and open source software for
                  geospatial! This is good.<br>
