Dear OSGeo communities,
this is an update on the extended deadline for submissions for this years
Euorpean Geoscience Union (EGU) General Assembly and an invitation (below) from
the Head of the Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI) session for
submissions from our communities, especially for the session "ESSI3.3 Free and
Open Source Software (FOSS), Cloud-based Technologies and HPC to Facilitate
Collaborative Science".
I want to point out a new exciting feature for the increasing number of OSGeo
projects which have registered Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) for their code
repositories (Details here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI):
- Each accepted EGU abstract will receive a DOI (being a scientific
publication).
- Whenever the DOI for a particular software release of an OSGeo project (e.g.
GRASS 8.0.0 RC2: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5854713) is cited in such a
publication, the underlying DOI infrastructure will (should - this is new!)
automagically assing due credit to all involved OSGeo project committers
(coders, maintainers, etc.) which have an ORCID. Committers without an ORCID
receive of course also due credit, yet without the automagic part (for now).
Kind regards,
Peter
Latest update on EGU GA 2022 --
In view of increasing event restrictions in Austria, currently limiting events
to 2000 people, which the conference organizers anticipate will be relaxed
later in the year and attendee concerns over the high infection rates in
Europe, the EGU has had to make some important changes to our plans for this
year’s General Assembly.
Firstly, the conference organizers have moved the date of the meeting to 23-27
May 2022. Moving the meeting back closer to summer months means that infection
rates are likely to be lower and the Austrian rules around large events will be
more flexible.
Secondly, the conference organizers have changed the format of the meeting (see
https://egu22.eu/about/provisional_meeting_format.html), so that all
presentations will now be short orals that can be delivered and viewed either
online or in person. This change is a result of restrictions on having a large
number of non-seated people in an enclosed space, like a poster hall, which has
meant that the conference organizers can no longer offer the poster or vPICO
options in 2022. In order to support hybrid participation, the conference
organizers have changed all sessions to have short orals that can be presented
in the various lecture rooms at the venue, or online by live-streamed zoom
channels. The the conference organizers are also creating opportunities for
both online and in-person audience participation with this format, that the
conference organizers hope will maintain the accessibility that they were
aiming to achieve with this, as a first step towards a fully hybrid meeting.
For more information about the changes to the General Assembly please read the

or the updated FAQ (https://egu22.eu/about/egu22_faqs.html). You will also
receive detailed instructions at the opening of each phase in the meeting
preparation process.

Dear Colleagues
The call for abstracts for the EGU 2021 virtual General Assembly is open and
will close on 12 January 2022 [EXTENDED TO 26 January 2022].
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/sessionprogramme
In 2022, EGU is planning to host parts of EGU22 as a hybrid meeting held in
Vienna and online. Please note that only the vPICO sessions will be hybrid. All
other sessions will require you to present in person in Vienna.
https://egu22.eu/about/provisional_meeting_format.html
The provisional programme has many exciting session proposals. I would like to
highlight a few of them and invite you to consider contributing an abstract.
