[Aust-NZ] Fwd: OSGeo Annual General Meeting - Local Chapters please join

[Alex Leith]

Hi All

I agree with Daniel. We have a really strong committee working on FOSS4G
SotM Oceania, and I would love at the very least for that to continue, with
different chairs/chair next year, and for there to be another conference
organised in 2019. I'll certainly help on the next committee.

Regarding formalisation, we need to look at it carefully. Yes, there's
potential liability and a fair bit of overhead in setting it all up, but
it's work looking at still, even if it does turn out to be too hard for now.

Regarding the AustNZ chapter, I'll be in Tanzania and would be happy to
represent, but if that's inappropriate, then I'm happy to step aside.

Cheers,

Alex
