[OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

[Massimiliano Cannata]

The collaboration seems to me that OSGeo his a member of LocationTech and
that a liason officier has been appointed.

There has not been defined any obligation, common goals, actions or
objective that are the basis for a collaboration.
So in my opinion a MoU is a pre-requisite for a first step into
collaboration.
