<br>
It is with deep sorrow that I inform of the sudden passing of Malena Liebman. <br>
Malena was admitted to a healthcare facility last week after having tested <br>
positive for COVID-19.<br>
<br>
Among many other things, Malena was the president of the Argentinian OSGeo <br>
Chapter (GeoLibres), chair of the FOSS4G 2021, and worked in the field of <br>
Spatial Data Infrastructures.<br>
<br>
IDERA (the Argentinian SDI) has made a brief announcement at https://<br>

<br>
I, as well as many of Malena's friends and colleagues, am socked and at a loss <br>
of words.<br>
<br>
