<div> </div>
<div>apologies for not introducing myself earlier.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My name is Peter Löwe, I'm a Geographer with strong ties into into computer science and library (e.g. "journals, books and data") communities. I'm based in Germany, greater Berlin area and have been involved in FOSS GIS / OSGeo activities for about two decades in several roles (<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Peter_Loewe">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Peter_Loewe</a> <a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2257-0517">https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2257-0517</a>).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the OSGeo Glossary initaitive, I would like to advance topics related to software citation, including defined terms (a controlled vocabulary ?) to give proper credit not just for original writers of software, but also maintainers, "extenders", reviewers and translators.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Peter</div>

<div>Hi Codrina, Peter, Jorge,
<div>I see some of you have joined the glossary slack channel. That is great.</div>
<div>A bunch of new people have joined this project who won't know you. Assuming you are still keen to be part of the OSGeo Glossary initiative, would you mind sending an introduction message saying who you are, where you live (coordinating <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=4&month=9&year=2020&p1=22&p2=240&p3=248&p4=102&p5=44&p6=26&p7=136&p8=179&p9=224&iv=0" target="_blank">timezones</a> is a challenge), and if you have any particular thoughts about how you'd like to be involved.</div>
<div>To get you up to speed, this <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/edit" target="_blank">Glossaries Manifesto</a> should be helpful. (Please add your name to the Collaborators list if you wish to take part.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are blessed to have three tech writers offering to help with both writing and coordinating. However they are new to open source and newer to OSGeo. It would be great to pair them with OSGeo veterans such as yourselves. I see you could help with:</div>
<div>* Using your social capital to help access the right people in organisations.</div>
<div>* Help define OSGeo terms (while they would get the terms written correctly).</div>
<div>I think that most people who fit this group are in IN/US/EU timezones.</div>
