[Lexicon] Fwd: [Geo4All] New time for our OSGeo AGM 2020 virtual event on 10 September 2020: 13:00 UTC

[Cameron Shorter]

Astrid reached out to me a while back about our Glossary initiative and
GeoLexia committee graduating to be an official OSGeo committee.
I'm in favour of doing so, and from my prior experience with other OSGeo
committees feel that our initiative qualifies. One of our goals is to build
an OSGeo Glossary of terms, and be the committee to manage its upkeep.
Astrid, Angelos, what would you like done from the Lexicon committee to
become an official OSGeo committee. We can create a slide for the OSGeo
AGM. I won't be available to present, but one of the other Lexicon/glossary
members might.

Cheers, Cameron

Dear Committees,  (sorry for cross posting)

It is difficult to find the perfect time slot to organize an international
virtual event, so after some recent discussions and requests on public
channels, the board has decided to change the AGM time slot to accommodate
all regions (as much as possible).

We would like to invite you to our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday
September 10th 2020 from 13 UTC till 15 UTC.

All local chapters, projects, committees and initiatives are invited to
present their status report, updates, covid-19 impact, future plans and
past achievements.

We  have already created the AGM slides for this year. This is going to be
one minute of fame and shine, don't let it pass! It is important for all
of us to know what is happening everywhere.
OSGeo is huge and this is the best way to get a summary of all the amazing
work we are doing!

There is a wiki page to give you an overview on the AGM 2020. Here you will
find the details on where to meet soon.

AGM 2020 slides
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C6llSnWZ28c2aWQgttPiOnoo6dttdqKg07ugU_yr6Uc/edit#slide=id.p4

Please add your information to the slides until 08.09.2020. If you want to
edit it and still don't have privileges to do so, please let us know and
tell us which team you represent so we can provide write access.

Please make sure you use only one (or two) slides per team. You will have
about 1 minute to present.

Please spread the information about the AGM 2020 and save the date! We will
provide detailed information about the meeting platform soon.

We will reserve an hour before and after the AGM to provide meeting rooms
for projects and local chapters where you can meet.

At the end of the AGM the Sol Katz Award 2020 will be granted.

After the AGM we will have an additional hour for open discussion about
OSGeo activities and the future.

We hope to see you at the AGM next week!

Stay safe

Angelos Tzotsos
President of OSGeo
