<p class="MsoNormal">I have a draft of the press release for
version 13. We can discuss this further at the weekly meeting
to be held Tuesday evening (or Wednesday morning Australian
time). My apologies for the delay – I’m still getting used to
lists.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Are you interested in joining our Open

release, 13.0, is going to start in 3 weeks at OSGeo Code
Sprint 2019 in Minneapolis-St. Paul [1]. </p>

I think we have a mismatch in dates here? This code sprint seems to
in May, which is a few months away, rather than 3 weeks.<br>

<p>I've updated our schedule for this year:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For version 13.0 we are looking to build a
cloud version of the release and are looking for volunteers to

<p>Rather than docs, I think our focus will be on helping to bring
OSGeo community projects onto OSGeoLive:</p>
<p>"For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join
OSGeoLive, and work out how we can keep within our size
constraints."<br>
</p>
<p>"We'd love to build a cloud version of OSGeoLive for this
release. It could make OSGeoLive, and OSGeo software much more
accessible. It seems elusively achievable, but we haven't worked
it out yet. If you think you could help, we'd love to hear from
you."</p>

I think we should be inviting people to our email list, or weekly
IRC rather than a code sprint, which only a few people can get to.<br>
