My name is Bogdan and I am the founder of the GISCollective project: <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://giscollective.com/" target="_blank">https://giscollective.com/</a> Our goal is to make maps easy to use and create. The platform currently
has features for creating, managing and publishing all sorts of
geographical data and is used now by Green Map and other small
communities. Of course, the code is open source and it can be accessed
here: <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://gitlab.com/GISCollective" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/GISCollective</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>We
would like to join the OSGeo community, because we are convinced that
there are many other organization that can benefit what we built so far.
Do you think that we would be a good candidate for your incubator
program? If so what would be the next steps that we need to take in
order to join your community? <br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>Best,<br></div><div>Bogdan<br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><div></div><div></div></div><div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>
