The Annual General Meeting for OSGeo is open to everybody.
The goal is to:
- give an overall status of the organization+
- financial report+
- informing the members of previous and future activities from committees and local chapters
- discuss important issues and take decisions
+ These two are formal reports that make it an AGM
Format
The AGM itself will be a succession of lightning talks (presentations limited to two minutes) given by you in your role as Local Chapter representative, Chair of a committee, representative of a software project, OSGeo director or administrator or whatever else makes up OSGeo. If you feel like you have to say something please add yourself to the correspondent section.
