Dear extended community,
I am sending this e-mail in order to have any kind of feedback from our
application to become an OSGeo project, as since end of April we did not
have any news.
We would like also to invite you to participate in the workshop
<https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2022-workshops/talk/7ANLTT/> and general
track session <https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2022/talk/KAZNL7/> about
Giswater which will be delivered, respectively on the 23/08 at 9:00h and
on the 26/08 at 9:30h, by BGEO OPEN GIS, S.L., one of the Giswater
Association member's.
Looking forward to know from you.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
--
