Joint OGC-OSGeo-ASF Code Sprint at LPS
- ESA has refused the OGC-OSGeo-ASF Code Sprint at LPS proposal but they are welcoming the sprint people to join the ‘Open Science in the Making’
- The proposal is interesting but it is different and it might not really serve our purposes.
- A joint code sprint with OGC should happen in the second week of June
- One proposal would be to join it with the Uc2025.qgis.org, 4 - 6th June is the period. If there is a OGC member meeting then - it would be a blocker
- ACTION: Marco to ask if there is room at Uc2025.qgis.org
- ACTION: Angelos to let ESA to know that OSGeo will participate in the “Open Science in the Making”, but not in the traditional format of the joint code sprint, but maybe with an OSGeo booth, or presenting a session with OSGeo projects
OSGeo Code Sprint Location - BIDs
- ESA is still waiting for our answer whether we will participate or not.
- ESA is asking if we could potentially organize a social event during one evening, everything else is paid for;
- We have a budget from the last code sprint, so we can sponsor a social event.
- MOTION to accept the invitation from ESA to organise the code sprint (all voted +1); Motion passed during the meeting.
- ACTION: Angelos to open the motion on Loomio for the record
Financial proposal

Hactivism in OSGeo projects - boards response
