[OSGeo Europe] OSGeo Europe - video call

[Luí­s Moreira de Sousa]

Hi Jeroen,

I suggest we meet in any case, just to keep the momentum. If there isn't much to present/discuss we can just end it earlier.

Regards.

They are thinking of setting up an association next to or in place of the current foundation because that allows for people, organisations and companies to become paid members. This does not prevent free membership! The Python Foundation has an interesting set of membership classes, read [here](https://www.python.org/psf/membership-faq/#id2). That aside, it may prove overly complex or unnecessary to host an OSGeo Europe committee within an existing Local chapter entity. It could save some money on administration, but could suffer from incorrect perceptions by the communities.
