[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2021

[Malena Libman]

Hello all!

We have been putting a lot of energy into our proposal and we are really
sad Istanbul is not going to make it. We were really looking forward to
some healthy competition, something we feel makes us better.

We set ourselves to build the best FOSS4G Buenos Aires can give, not
thinking that because we are a non European or North American country we
should do or offer less. .

I, personally, don't believe that the first/third world configuration is
really something we should keep using as it presents a bipolar world.

In fact, it is a very outdated and useless definition coming from the Cold
War to try to distinguish between capitalists and communist and "the rest
that didn't fit as allies", which clearly does not apply anymore.

Lastly, some of the BALOC is gathering tonight to send together the amazing
proposal we build for this Bid, we hope you read in the document the love
we put in and how much we want to be the hosts of the 2021 international
FOSS4G.

Best regards,

Malena Libman
