[Projects] OSGeo code sprint at Big Data from Space 2023, November ?

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear OSGeo community,

The European Commission through the Joint Research Center, the EU Satellite Center and the European 
Space Agency organize the Big Data from Space 2023 - BiDS 2023 between 6-9 November, in Vienna, 
Austria (https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/).

In the context of the increasing very good interactions between OSGeo and both the EC and ESA, we've 
approached one of the organizers to inquire whether it could be an opportunity to have an OSGeo code 
sprint during the event. We've received a very positive response from their side, proposing multiple 
ways in which they could support the initiative, such as having an OSGeo dedicated room at the venue 
for us to organize ourselves or proposing a Satellite Event 
(https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/satellite-events). The discussions are still in a very early 
phase and to go further we'd like to see if there is interest from the community for a Code Sprint 
in November.


Greetings from Bucharest,
Codrina
