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

[Tatiana Pará]

Hello everyone,

I would like to bring up the discussion about Brazil's candidacy to host
FOSS4G 2024. 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.

On April 28th, the topic of FOSS4G 2024 was raised again, and there were no
official candidates. Japan was mentioned as a possibility by Nobusuke, but
it was deemed unfeasible at the moment. Adam brought up the idea of an
event in South America.

On October 31st, 2022, I suggested the possibility of holding the event in
Brazil, and many points were discussed at that time. 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.

Given this history and after productive meetings with members from Brazil
and Argentina, I would like to suggest Brazil as the host for FOSS4G in
2024.

Would you like to support this idea?

Best regards,
--
