> On Tuesday Dec 5th, I was able to talked to a AGU staff member, Brooks
> Hanson (AGU Senior Vice President, Publications) (
> https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6230-7145) about the mission OSGeo and the
> win-win potential of a MOU. AGU is interested to establish a working
> relation with OSGeo. However, they need more information about us to
> determine whether from their perspective a MOU is the most effective way to
> proceed. Since all AGU staff is already occupied with next weeks AGU
> General Assembly (major event), Brooks has requested more information by
> e-mail before the holiday season, to continue the dialogue in early 2018
> with the option to sign a MOU during the European Geoscience Union (EGU)
> General Assembly in April in Vienna (https://www.egu2018.eu/).
>
> If the board agrees, I'll draft a note for AGU within the next days
> (available for comments by the board in the OSGeo-wiki).
>
> I also propose that the board goes ahead with the "vice-presidenting" of
> the chairs of the open geoscience committee (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/
> Open_Geoscience_Committee), as AGU might have a knack for
> hierarchies/roles/titles, etc.
>
> FWIW, the open geoscience committee is discussing its 2018 budet on its
> mailing list. The current deadline for the commenting phase / draft is Dec
> 15th.
