<div>Guido are you happy to take on the "networking event" ideas for foss4g? It sounds like you had a b2b event already being planned.</div>

</div>
<div>How to handle the OSGeo booth (at foss4g and other events) has been a bit random. I do not know if I should start with the board or the marketing committee.</div>

</div>
<div>I would like to highlight two common themes:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The organizations represented in the meeting already very generous with their time and resources (even before it comes to question of sponsorship). We need to reach out to new organizations that are benefiting from the work we do at OSGeo and are not
engaging as part of our community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is lots that can be done for sponsors, beyond placing sponsor logos on a website. This is something I would ask us all to work on (foss4g global, regional events, projects and our foundation as a whole).</div>
