(you can find more info on the Sol Katz Award wiki page https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award) The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm. Sol Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org/index. Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to SolKatzAward at osgeo.org with a description of the reasons for this nomination. Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day August 8th Anywhere on Earth (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe). A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee. The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced at the FOSS4G 2019 event in August, in Bucharest, Romania. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come. It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.

We are calling for help for the final OSGeoLive testing sprint, this weekend, 12-14 July 2019. We really want OSGeo seasoned developers to find any outstanding issues, rather than having them found in workshops or by new users in the released version. So please consider joining our testing-sprint to verify your favourite application works. * Sign up at: ?https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Press Release 85 * Download ISO from: ?http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/13.0/ * Chat about your progress with us at: ?irc://irc.freenode.net#osgeolive * Update your testing status at: ?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit#gid=430477653 We aim to have each application tested by both someone familiar with it, and someone less familiar. Daily Checkin * We will be checking in daily on ?irc://irc.freenode.net#osgeolive at: ?https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?hour=20&min=00&sec=00&p1=179&p2=189&p3=224&p4=22&p5=240&p6=196&p7=215 And you will likely catch one of our core team on IRC outside this timeslot as well.
