Vasile et al:
Congratulations on getting this out, and a huge thanks for your efforts.
Indeed, there are no guarantees, but *it is time* to see what is possible,
and who is willing to take a run at a 2022 event. I also remain hopeful
that there is a reasonable chance for meeting in Buenos Aires in late
September; and a shout-out to the sponsors that have already committed to
FOSS4G2021.

Here's to some letters of interest coming back in just three weeks...

Best to all and may the vaccines get ever more abundant!
