The AGM format was stretched for the last couple of years when we were meeting 
face to face. It just isn’t possible to give every project, initiative, 
committee and chapter space even if they stick to the time limit (which few 
do). 

The slide deck currently stands at 112 slides - a lot are from last year but 
presumably will be replaced. Perhaps we could read the slides as a report and 
then use the AGM for more discussion.

I wonder if the GM needs to focus on a narrower agenda around the Board’s 
activities and strategy with space for more discussion rather than a run 
through of what everyone did in the last year?

[OSGeo-Discuss] Get ready for our OSGeo AGM 2020 virtual event on 10 September 2020 18 UTC

2020-08-05 Thread Angelos Tzotsos


Hello OSGeo Community!

We would like to invite you to our Annual General Meeting(AGM)on 
Thursday September 10th 2020 from 18 UTC till 20 UTC.


Normally we meet every year at our global FOSS4G conference. But this 
year everything is different. So we would like to invite you to a global 
virtual event.


All local chapters, projects, committeesand initiatives are invited to 
present their status report, updates,covid-19 impact,futureplans and 
past achievements.


We have already created the AGM slides for this year. This is going to 
be one minute of fame and shine, don't let it pass! It is important for 
all of us to know what is happening everywhere.
OSGeo is huge and this is the best way to get a summary of all the 
amazing work we are doing!


At the end of the AGM the Sol Katz Award 2020 will be granted. You have 
the chance to make nominations till August 21st.

There is a wiki page to give you an overview on the AGM 2020. Here you 
will find the details on where to meet soon.

still don't have privileges to do so, please let usknow and tell uswhich 
team you represent so wecan provide write access.


Please make sure you use only one (or two) slides per team. You will 
have about 1 minute to present.
