Message-ID: <8373cc6f6a51d6dbc115fb379eea70a1@posteo.de> 2021-09-13 see OSGeo Foundation News: https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/the-open-source-geospatial-foundation-signs-mou-with-hot-the-humanitarian-openstreetmap-team-united-states-inc/ OSGeo and HOT [1] signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the goal of fostering the use of open source geospatial software, to enable participatory community-driven development. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team United States, Inc. (HOT), applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development. Founded in the wake of the Haiti earthquake of 2010, responders and organizations recognized the need for accurate, accessible maps to aid in humanitarian response and the potential for international development interventions. Since then, HOT has utilized its network of tens of thousands of volunteers to contribute to OpenStreetMap, the free and editable map of the world. HOT?s network and tools enable everyone, local or international, to have an impact by putting places and areas home to people on the map. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open source geospatial software, data and education. The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open source geospatial community. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration. The foundation's projects are all freely available at https://osgeo.org and usable under an OSI-certified open source license. Together the organizations have agreed to find synergistic ways to promote common goals. Starting in 2021, HOT and OSGeo will work together to contribute to the following shared objectives: A. OSGeo to communicate about HOT's tools on OSGeoLive (https://live.osgeo.org) B. HOT and OSGeo to promote development of open geospatial communities (e.g. OSGeo chapters and OSM community groups) in HOT priority countries (list of 94 countries). This should include connecting OSGeo local chapters with Open Mapping Hubs supported by HOT in Asia Pacific, Eastern & Southern Africa (ESA), West Africa, and Latin America & the Caribbean, with the goal of facilitating delivery of training and funding (Microgrants) where relevant to OSGeo local chapters. C. HOT to promote use of open source geospatial tools (such as GeoNode and QGIS) in HOT projects and with the humanitarian mapping community D. HOT and OSGeo to show visibility of partners on both sides during events E. HOT and OSGeo to work together over conferences including HOT Summit & FOSS4G Angelos Tzotsos (President of OSGeo) and Tyler Radford (Executive Director of HOT) signed the MOU in August/September 2021.

We hope to see you on 1 October 2021 14h UTC for the virtual event Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we again will have our Annual General Meeting (AGM) virtually this year. It will be during FOSS4G 2021. We would like to invite you to the AGM on Friday, October 1st 2021 from 14h to 15h UTC [1] We are happy to meet you at our global FOSS4G conference again, even though it will be virtual, instead of face to face. We have been active in advance and asked our community for short videos about the status of their project. We are happy to be able to publish the OSGeo Annual General Meeting video on the OSGeo YouTube channel [2]. It was amazing to get all the videos from local chapters, projects, committees and initiatives. We hope we did not miss any video. A big thanks to all the community members who provided a video and to Vicky Vergara who mixed them all together. Now you are invited to watch the AGM 2021 video in advance of our meeting on Friday. If there are questions or topics for discussion we can follow up on the Virtual AGM on Friday. This year's OSGeo annual general meeting (AGM) is dedicated to the memory of Malena Libman who passed away due to COVID-19. Her passing was a big shock and we miss her. She was meant to be the chair of this year's FOSS4G 2021 and she was a star of our community. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. We would also like to dedicate to the memory of Martin Isenburg who passed away after the editing of the AGM video. Martin was the creator of LAStools, LASzip, and PulseWaves. He was a giant in the LIDAR community. Our thoughts and prayers are also with his family.
