Hello Peter, hello Maxi,
great that you will be at EGU and act as OSGeo VPs. So it is really no
need for OSGeo Board to go there.
Please keep us tuned and if you need material let us nw.
You added the event already to
https://www.osgeo.org/events/european-geoscience-conference-general-assembly-2020/
That is great. So I will also promote it via twitter.
See you Astrid
