Hello fellow Board members,<br>
<br>
Jáchym and I have reached out to Astrid and Arnulf to discuss
the<br>
possibility of hosting our AGM and the Sol Katz Award at
Intergeo.<br>
Although interested, it seems there might only be a handful of
OSGeo-ers<br>
there, and it pretty much seems like a no-go.<br>
<br>
I believe we should look at other options.<br>
<br>
Good news is that there is lots of talk and nominations for
the Sol Katz<br>
Award; that is going strong.<br>
<br>
I am now thinking of a virtual announcement for the award, in
early<br>
October as we suggested.<br>
<br>
As for the AGM, I am not sure, so I wanted to let you know
here.<br>

<div>Not sure if comments from people outside the board are
permitted/welcomed on this list,</div>
<div>but here we go and scold me if I did it wrong :-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FOSS4G-NA is surely quite a few months away, but closer
than next FOSS4G... and</div>
<div>should get a good amount of OSGeo-ers present. Just a
thought :-p</div>

Andrea, good to hear the suggestion. I think the key criteria for
handing out the 2012 Sol Katz award is that it be done in 2012. It
would help if we know which event(s) the yet to be selected winner
will be attending this year. It would be a bonus if they could
receive the award in person in front of an audience, at whatever
event that may be.<br>
<br>
So I suggest that once the winner is known, the winner is privately
approached by the Sol Katz committee and asked which event they
think would be appropriate.<br>
