[OSGeo-Discuss] Discuss Digest, Vol 199, Issue 8

Sun Jul 16 14:51:28 PDT 2023

Hi Astrid,

Thank you for getting back to me. We are following the steps you suggested.
I would like to emphasize that since 2009 we have had an interesting
community, but recently some people (founders in Brazil) have left the
field or have been dedicated to other tasks. That's why a few colleagues
and I are reactivating the social networks, discussion spaces, and
collective activities.

Would you happen to know who manages the mailing list in Brazil? So that we
can connect with this new group we are creating?

And according to the document:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapter_Guidelines, we need to present
the mission and key members to the Osgeo board, right? Could you inform me
of the email we can provide?
