Hi Maria,

Thanks for taking action on this. The proposal sounds great ! One 
question would be whether we could more explicitely enter the idea of 
"free software" into the title of the forum.

In any case, you can count on me for supporting you, notably with the 
forum, but we might be able to help with mapathon organisation as well.
