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

[Dirk Frigne]

Luis,

Thank you for your input on the code sprint about this message.
As discussed, I look forward to your input.
On a short term to prepare for the meeting within 2 weeks. All input is
welcome. The more reactions we get, the better we can represent the
vision of OSGeo to the European Commission.

I am still here in Bonn until Saturday morning, so please don't hesitate
to talk to me to discuss.
