Status update from this mornings hangout:

We were able to sort out a time schedule for AGM and Closing.
- There is more time available for the General Meeting than anticipated,
considering inviting partners to speak
- A solid effort will be required to reach out to local chapters this year
- LOC requested we focus on an OSGeo intro + status update during closing
- We also discussed the creation of additional awards; aligned with our
goals...
