Review and approve past minutes

CRO Update

  • Update from Luis de Sousa
  • Django application developed by Luis to replace the manual work done in previous elections. Next steps are to deploy the application and fill in the current nominees for the next elections that need to be announced on the 15th of September as well as the list of existing Charter Members. The application can also be used locally but best to be handled on the OSGeo infrastructure, by SAC.
  • The repo of the Django application is on the Gitea of OSGeo https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/Lads/cro-app
  • ACTION: Mike to dockerize the app from the git repo and open a ticket on SAC track for deployment

Regional Conference Coordination

  • ACTION: Codrina to draft a plan based on Belem discussions (Done). [4]
  • Contact the regional conf organizers (NA, Europe, Asia etc.) to meet up and discuss an annual timeframe so we avoid conflicts

Questions regarding preparations for FOSS4G 2026

  • No action from the board at this moment.

The schedule for FOSS4G 2026 is planned as follows: 

 • August 30-31: Hands-on Workshops
 • September 1-3: Main Conference
 • September 4-5: Code Sprint

Request for Letter of Support - OpenSKIZZE-Praxis

  • Board agrees to remove financial support statement from the template since we don't want the funding agency to get the idea that we might also be funding the project.

Proposal for the Board F2F meeting
