[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2024 - BRAZIL (BRASIL)

[Steven Feldman]

I think it is great that we have a proposal for 24

We all missed out on going to Buenos Aires in 21 so let’s take FOSS4G to Belem

There are a lot of ex conference chairs and LOC members who would be happy to help our family in Brazil if they need us

I don’t have a vote but if I did I would say go for it

May the FOSS be with you

After discussions with colleagues from OSGeo here in Brazil and with the support of OSGeo Chapter Argentina, we have considered the possibility of hosting the event in Belém, due to the existing synergy between OSGeo and strategic discussions on climate change.

We realized that we do not have an official OSGeo chapter in Brazil, although we are active in Telegram groups and similar communities. This initially generated some insecurity in continuing with the proposal. However, we have recently resumed discussions, and on December 16th, Luca and Vasile provided important explanations about the organization of FOSS4G.
