[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

8.  March 2022

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? The build 
cycle for the next OSGeoLive release 15.0, is going to start. Version 
15.0 will use Lubuntu 22.4 [1] The final version is planned to be ready 
in August 2022. Have a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [2].

Till then we have many challenges - from simple to challenging, to help 
describe and train people in the value of Open Source GIS.

For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join 
OSGeoLive, and work out how we can keep within our size constraints.

You are welcome to join our team!

Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open 
Source GIS applications? Are you a technical writer interested in making 
FOSS4G accessible to all? Are you interested in helping update 
translations to latest documents on Transifex [3] [4]?

Tech writers from The Good Docs Project [5] have offered to write or 
update quickstarts for us. If you'd like your quickstart updated, then 
reach out to us.

If you would like to add a new project, help us to get in the cloud or 
have another goal you would like to work on and get involved you are 
very welcome.
