Community Sprint 2023 updates
- Since our last meeting, the issue with the room payment has been solved through meetings between Angelos, Codrina and Marco, EOX people, PANGEO and ESA.
- ESA indeed has issues sponsoring food or US based entities, however it identified a way to support OSGeo. The payment of the room (without audio/video equipment) will probably be handled directly by ESA.
- We have the room for the full working day, 4 days.
- We have a new sponsor as well, IGN.
- What we need:
- We need to bring our branding material, stickers
