Dear Miriam and OSGeo Friends, Firstly, I want to make it very clear that I offer these thoughts on a personal basis and hold zero position of leadership in the OSGeo apparatus, bar charter membership and membership of the Conference Committee :-)
That being said… Congratulations on your election!! I believe that yours and HOT’s success in your ‘audacious’ goals will ultimately bring a new generation of mappers to the fore! In the coming years, I truly hope that we collectively can deliver on the promise that, hopefully, we started to collectively define at FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam. Your proposal to convene a "Board to Board" is a very interesting one, especially as we have unique challenge in front us; I hope that it is an event that it would be possible to participate as an observer :-). Wishing you the very best in your new role and really hope that we can bring the communities closer together :-) Best, Mark [1] http://ggim.un.org/meetings/GGIM-committee/10th-Session/documents/Covid-19_Ready-to-Respond.pdf <http://ggim.un.org/meetings/GGIM-committee/10th-Session/documents/Covid-19_Ready-to-Respond.pdf> > On 16 Dec 2020, at 09:07, Miriam Gonzalez <mir...@hotosm.org> wrote: > > Dear fellow OsGeo Board Members, > > First of all I hope this email finds you and your loved ones healthy. > On behalf of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Board I would like to > congratulate you for the recent elections and having a diverse Board full of > talented people (that personally I admire so much!!!). > > As you might know in HOT we have the goal to map during the next 5 years 1 > billion people who live in 94 countries which face different challenges.
