---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Venkatesh Raghavan Date: Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 7:38 AM Subject: BoF of local chapter in Asia Hi All, Great to meet-up again at FOSS4G-Asia 2018. As representatives for OSGeo Local Chapters from China, India, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand are available at FOSS4G-Asia 2018 conference. It maybe a good idea to meet up at a BoF on 3 Dec, 2018 between 18:00 and 19:00. The main agenda item could be 1) Formation of OSGeo-Asia regional alliance (as you are aware, there is already an OSGeo-Europe regional group) 2) Share ideas about organizing the next FOSS4G-Asia 2020 3) Any other item I look forward to your response about the possibility of participating in the BoF and also suggestions regarding the agenda items for discussion.
