central throughout the world, but it is especially important in developing
countries, where it is a key tool both for the construction of local capacities
and for its contribution to achieving greater cooperation at the regional
community level in contexts of strong limitations of resources.</span></p>

of Geoinquiet@s Argentina (Spanish speaking micro chapter) since 2012. I’ve
participated in the organization of the regional FOSS4G Argentina in 2013 and
2016. I also chaired the 2017 edition that we did together with OSM Argentina, FOSS4G
+ SOTM Argentina de 2017. I was very lucky to be able to attend the last FOSS4G
2018 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, thanks to the travel grant program. Since
then, I have been starting to participate in the OSGEO Marketing committee </span></p>

contribute so that OSGEO can promote the use of FOSS4G all over the world and
for all people in a more effective way. For that, I consider it strategic to
complement the most diverse views possible. In this sense, I believe that both
Latin America has much to contribute to the strengthening of OSGEO and OSGEO
has great potential to deepen and expand its actions in the region.</span></p>
