[Board] [OSGeo-Discuss] My last letter as President

[Vicky Vergara]

Dear Maria,

I want to thank you for the guidance you gave to OSGeo during
your participation as president of OSGeo in the board of directors

I am glad that your focus after leaving the board is still spreading
throughout the world the free use and development of open source
software that all developers work on for the geospatial community
around the world.

Opening the doors to increase the diversity of our community is making
our world a better place for us, and for the ones that come after us.

Thanks again for everything.

Kind regards
Vicky
