The most forthcoming activities are [Ihttp://www.cascadoss.eu/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=23 nternational Symposium] and the
[http://www.cascadoss.eu/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=22 Workshop]. We would like to have OSGeo support and patronage for those
two upcoming events as an “umbrella” with permission of use OSGeo label
in promo activities, including publication at the official CASCADOSS
website. OSGeo could announce CASCADOSS project and the patronage on the website,
publish news about the events and include them in the OSGeo calendar.

To sum-up: OSGeo and CASCADOSS team are both aiming to promote FOSS4G
solutions and its application in environmental projects/activities.
