<br>
the OSGeo Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for Thursday morning <br>
August 30 at 8:00-9:00 in Dar Es Salaam (Tansania).<br>
<br>
As Project/Committee officer we ask that you attend, or send a delegate <br>
from your committee. The FOSS4G organizers have given us one hour for <br>
the meeting, leaving us each with around 2 mins!<br>
<br>
This update is about your committee. We are interested in how your <br>
committee is doing, the opportunities and challenges ahead, and how <br>
OSGeo can help.<br>
<br>
The shared slide deck is available here (request edit access if <br>
required):<br>

These slides replace the "Annual General Report" <br>
(<a href="https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/GeoTools-Annual-Report-2017" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/GeoTools-Annual-Report-2017</a>) <br>
used previously, you may wish to borrow that format for inspiration. You <br>
still can make an annual report page with extended information if you <br>
like and link to it.<br>
<br>
If you are unable to attend we ask that you submit an annual general <br>
report to the board email list and attend an IRC board meeting by <br>
November 2018.<br>
<br>
We are coordinating activities on the OSGeo Wiki <br>
(<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2018" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2018</a>). Please add <br>
your project and name to the wiki if you can attend.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
