[Osmf-talk] Should FOSSGIS's status be revoked now? | Re: Geolibres Local Chapter application for Argentina

[Joost Schouppe]

Hi,

Yes, we want to understand more about how Geolibres works. I'm in touch
with the team, and they are already analyzing all the responses here,
collecting info and looking into next steps. So we'll get to understand
them a little better soon. I apologize for not having prepared for this
issue better.

Meanwhile, if there are any -other- issues, now is the time to put them on
their radar.

Best,
Joost
