It is with great excitement that we present to you the Organizing Committee of the SotM LATAM 2024 which will take place in Belem, Brazil, from December 6 to 8 of this year.
This volunteer committee has, among others, the functions that the SotM Working Group assumes in the global SotM, that is, mainly:
- seeking a host location,
- arranging sponsorship,
- organising the detail of the conference,
- promoting the conference, and
- running the conference.
This committee is made up of those who, at the last AbreLatam 2023 in Montevideo, Uruguay, had the initial idea of holding the SotM Latam together with the FOSS4G 2024 that was announced at said event. Other map enthusiasts have been joining this initial group, contributing different visions and perspectives that we are sure will enrich SOTM LATAM 2024.
