FOSS4G Asia TGP request
- https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2024-July/013548.html
- As we already refused a TGP request due to lack of budget and as we are in the same position, we have to unfortunately reject their request.

- ACTION: Codrina to ask LOC about a sponsors’ meeting for the board to attend. Also ask for a room for the meeting.
Inquiry from Apache about hosting sis-geotools repository (continued)
- Apache does not host it because of the LGPL license
- Potential answer:
Unfortunately, we can not assume the hosting for projects that have not graduated the incubation process. Recommend creating a repo directly in github or wherever provides the hosting and apply as an OSGeo Community Project
QGIS 2FA Question
- How about a modern way to sign in ?
- Shall we ask SAC now or plan for next year?
Election preparations
- Start elections in September.
- We need to identify/search the CRO. Vicky is a volunteer helper for this year, but we need to contact Ivan Sanchez and Luis de Sousa. Vicky suggests that Ivan is the chair CRO.
