[Board] Open Geoscience Committee proposal

[Margherita Di Leo]

Dear Board,

During the last FOSS4G-EU held in Como there has been a European Geoscience
Union (EGU) Interest Group BoF [1], that has lead to the proposal to
establish a new Open Geoscience Committee[2] within OSGeo. The motivation
behind this decision is the need to connect the growing community of
scientists promoting the open science concept. See also the agenda that has
been discussed [3].
We kindly ask the OSGeo board to discuss and approve the establishment of
the new committee during the next board meeting.

Thank you and best regards,
Peter Löwe
