Folks,
we have always had something called the "AGM" at FOSS4G but it never
really was an "Annual General Meeting" as defined in legal terms. This
year it was suggested to move the AGM to another event because the
global FOSS4G was postponed for a year.

But the term "AGM" is not really good because we never managed to have
a reasonably representative share of members turn up. In recent
versions of the "AGM" the Local Chapters gave (lightning) talks about
their activities and we then conclude with an open dialog between
everybody physically in the room. This was fine and especially the
Local Chapter talks can be nicely compiled into a presentation to be
given anywhere. But it is not really an "AGM". Thoughts?

Cheers,
Arnulf
