[신상희(Sanghee Shin)]

Dear Tatiana and Belem team,

Thank you very much for your hard work for the comprehensive full proposal.

I'd like to suggest to conference committee members to finish the selection process by the end of July. We may have a period of 7~10 days for Q&A, followed by the final voting.

Vasile, Msilikale, and other members, any idea on this?

Kind regards,


감사합니다.

제목: [OSGeo-Conf] Proposals for Global FOSS4G 2024


Dear members of the OSGeo Board,

It is with great pleasure that we present the final proposal for Belém, Brazil, to host the international FOSS4G conference in 2024. This proposal is the result of a joint effort between the Brazilian and Argentine communities, with the aim of strengthening collaboration and the dissemination of open-source geospatial technologies in Latin America.

To lead the event, we propose the appointment of Ms. Tatiana Pará (myself, the sender of this proposal) as the Chair of FOSS4G 2024, representing Brazil, and Ms. Andrea Trovant, representing Buenos Aires, as the co-chair. These professionals have extensive experience in event execution and are committed to organizing a high-level conference that fosters the development of open-source geospatial solutions.

The organizing team for FOSS4G 2024 will be composed of members from Brazil and Argentina, in a partnership that aims to integrate and exchange knowledge between the two countries, building upon the experience from 2021. We believe that this collaborative approach will contribute to an enriching and diverse event, bringing forth new trends in the open-source geospatial world.

In addition to the bid to host FOSS4G 2024, we would like to highlight that we are in the process of formalizing the Brazilian OSGeo Association as a non-profit private entity. This process is aligned with our commitment to strengthen and expand OSGeo's presence in Brazil, as well as promote the use of open-source geospatial software across all sectors of society.

The city of Belém, located in northern Brazil, boasts a rich cultural history and serves as an important center for research and technological innovation. Its strategic location, with easy air access and suitable infrastructure for hosting events, makes it an ideal choice to host FOSS4G 2024. Additionally, Belém offers a variety of tourist attractions, such as the natural beauty of the Amazon rainforest and the region's rich culinary heritage, providing a unique experience for conference participants. In 2025, this city will host COP30, and we will take advantage of the new infrastructure and thematic focus to involve the OSGeo community in the climate agenda.

We believe that hosting FOSS4G 2024 in Belém will be a unique opportunity to strengthen ties within the open-source geospatial community in Latin America, share knowledge, stimulate collaborative projects, and promote the adoption of innovative technological solutions in a multicultural environment.

We appreciate your consideration of this proposal and look forward to receiving the support of the OSGeo Board and the entire international community in making FOSS4G 2024 a reality in Belém, Brazil. We are confident that together we can promote a memorable conference, further advancing open-source geotechnology in our region.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this proposal, and we hope to receive the support of the OSGeo Board and the entire international community in making FOSS4G 2024 a reality in Belém, Brazil. We are confident that together we can promote a memorable conference, further advancing open-source geotechnology in our region.

Therefore, attached is the final proposal.

Yours sincerely,
