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

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi, all,

As I will be participating to the OSGeo AGM and if there is no-one from 
the core group, I could present the Lexicon Committee work.

However, I warmly recommend, especially for those that are not that 
familiar with OSGeo, if possible, to join the meeting because the AGM 
gives a good (and very speedy) overview of what is happening in all the 
different OSGeo committees and projects.

Cheers,
Codrina
