Dear OSGeo Community,


We trust you are all doing well and we wish you a happy new year, full of 
happiness, peace, and power to achieve whatever you plan.


Let us take a moment to reflect on the last year and congratulate ourselves for 
the amazing work we accomplished as a community.


After a 2-year break, our community enjoyed a successful FOSS4G 2022 in 
Florence, Italy. A big shout out to the FOSS4G 2022  LOC (local organizing 
committee) for their immense hard work.


Now, we are excited to support FOSS4G 2023 [1] which will take place in 
Prizren, Kosovo. We wish the best to the LOC, the FLOSSK in their work and echo 
they have our full support.


It is extremely satisfying to see that our community is expanding. This year, 
we had 37 new members joining as Charter Members [2]. A warm welcome to all and 
we look forward to your continued contributions in 2023. OSGeo’s official 
Telegram channel [3] was reactivated just after FOSS4G 2022 for enhancing 
connectivity. It is also bridged via OSGeo’s matrix - so you can communicate 
with everyone if you want to use IRC, Element, or a matrix client of your 
choice [4] - as well as the Telegram client. Please join in if you haven’t 
already (https://t.me/+CPX1K4L0uuY0MDA0). 


The board elections were also conducted successfully with Ariel Anthieni 
joining the board and replacing Dr. Michele Tobias who decided to not run 
again. We thank Dr. Michele Tobias for her timely and productive contributions 
to the Board. The new board [5] convenes for the first time in  January 2023.


With the intention of being closer to the community, in 2022 the OSGeo Board 
started to send a succinct summary of meetings. We hope that in the rush of 
every day’s work, the community members can find out in a 3 min read what the 
board has been up to. For a more direct line, the meetings are held on an open 
platform and are open for public participation. The meeting minutes for the 
last meeting can be found at [6].


In 2022, we progressed with starting and concluding various initiatives and 
signing new MoUs. This truly strengthens our community, so we plan to keep it 
up in the year to come!


In name of the whole board, I wish you all the best for 2023!


Cheers,

Rajat
