[Europe] OSGeo Europe meeting with Copernicus Programme - need your input

Mon Apr 9 13:11:24 PDT 2018

Hi,

just wanted to let you know, that I'm in touch with local Copernicus
iniciative

yeap, it would be good to have our foot in the door, because my feeling is,
the people from the program on national level are not so well oriented in
the software and dataprocessing topic
