============ Announcement================

Dear OSGeo community,

Taking into account the Doodle results, the Board decided to organize the OSGeo Virtual Community Sprint 2020 on November 17-18-19, also celebrating GIS and PostGIS days.

The OSGeo Virtual Community Sprint 2020 will be accompanied by other events in November 2020 see https://www.osgeo.org/events/

We would now ask projects to please register on our wiki page https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Virtual_Community_Sprint_2020 so we can start to setup the Jitsi channels.

The sprint is going to be a 3 day event around time zones; participating projects are free to select their working hours and log them into the wiki so others can join at the appropriate time.

On behalf of the OSGeo board,



=============Initial mail===================

Dear OSGeo community,

Since the annual OSGeo code sprint was postponed for 2021, the OSGeo Board is considering to organize an online version of the OSGeo code sprint in November.

This would be a full week event, with various Jitsi rooms per project and several discussion Jitsi rooms for social interactions. We also consider a large room (similar to AGM) for the kick-off and final meeting of the OSGeo code sprint.

We would like to hear your date preferences, ideas, objections etc.

Here is a doodle poll (will run for a week) to gather feedback:
