[OSGeo-Conf] FYI: Update on *RfP 2021*

[Till Adams]

Dear list,

just to inform you: I wrote an email to all voting members [1] of
OSGeo's CC and asked for their participation in the RfP 2021 [2]. If you
are a voting member of this committee and did not receive an email from
me, I presumably have the wrong email adress. In that case please come
back to me ASAP.

I also asked Arnulf and Cameron, whether they will be our CRO's again in
this year.

Regards, Till
