[Board] [OSGeo-Conf] Regional Conference Coordination

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi Guido,

Thank you for your message!

This is a topic on the Board's matters to discuss for some time now. During the FOSS4G Belem F2F 
meeting, we also talked about the future FOSS4G global and regional events (including the code 
sprints), especially with regards to finding an acceptable annual time frame to avoid potential 
conflicts in attracting sponsors and participants alike. The details of our discussion are here:

I know this is very short-notice, but if you could join tonight's board meeting I'll put the topic 
on the agenda. Otherwise, if you can, we can write it down for next month.

The meeting tonight starts at 20:00 EEST (https://meet.jit.si/OsgeoBoard).


Cheers from Bucharest,

Codrina
