My name is Jan-Erik Vinje. Last month I bought <a href="https://open-arcloud.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" id="LPlnk390316" previewremoved="true"><span id="LPlnk390316">https://open-arcloud.org/</span></a> to get an informal community started
around open source, open data, open standards for Augmented Reality Cloud solutions. (AR-cloud)</div>

I contacted OSGeo and many others and I have just started to get informal partners and members. </div>

I hope you will consider joining. One week ago I presented the initiative to the board of OSGeo and was greeted in a friendly matter. I asked the members of OSGeo if they would consider the possibility of an informal partnership. I am not at this time asking
for much other than a show of support, such as allowing a logo with a link to <a href="http://osgeo.org/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk825890" previewremoved="true">
http://osgeo.org/</a> on the open-arCloud page, and perhaps if someone active in the OSGeo organization might be willing to be listed as one of the team.</div>

During the IRC board meeting, I also got information about relevant initiatives in OpenGeoSpatial that I will look into more closely. Lastly, I have been invited to attend Foss4G events. I appreciated the opportunity.</div>

For more information on the purpose of the initiative I wrote an article </div>
