<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B0F0">We’ve (our local OSGeo Chapter) have been putting on monthly virtual presentations for a year now, and it was suggested by the group to cast a wider net for invitations to the event. I’ve been posting announcements
to the TCMUG (OSGeo local chapter) list, GeoMoose-users, and the MapServer-users lists up till now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B0F0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B0F0">Question, what list should these kinds of things be posted too to get in front of the wider OSGeo community? I tried sending to the ANNOUNCE list, but that seems to by permission only, and I’m not sure how that
works, are all list users sent via ANNOUNCE, or do they need to be subscribed, which somehow seems limiting? I did a cursory run through of the lists, but nothing really jumped out at me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B0F0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B0F0">Is there maybe an event Calendar that can be posted to? Our meetings are always on the Second Wednesday of each month, at 4:30-6:00 pm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

will present how to use the Serverless framework and AWS to create a data-driven S3 bucket that manages ODM processing. By combining AWS Batch, S3, Lambda, and Docker, one can construct a piece of cloud infrastructure that handles the task of processing drone
imagery into ODM products such as orthophotos, point clouds, and meshes. Users are notified via email upon completion or failure of the job, and compute resource management is delegated to AWS Batch.<o:p></o:p></p>
