That's why I always prefer that a PoC talks about racism instead of
me. But I can still talk about inequality regarding women. Remember
that 90% of said here applies to all PoC. And that WoC suffer this

Hi,
I have a tentative proposal from the local Java developer group here
in Sevilla to host and participate with volunteers on the codesprint
for GeoNetwork (which is where I can help most). Not sure how well
this will go, as most of them has no GIS experience, but I'm excited!

Hi,
Surprisingly I prefer this year's procedure. All information is there at

other years that distract from what we really want to know: who they are

I agree with Luigi in that we should be aware of this and have common

Hi,
I think we can do both.
I mean: OSGeo should sign it (from my perspective) because it is
