Hey Bertil, Thanks for sending this. I agree that community is the hardest part. I have my own startup I’m pivoting on - I admit this has fallen down the list of priorities of mine while trying to keep the company alive.
But, this is the main reason I joined this project — to help build a community. I did a lot of this type of work for Heron, and I think I can help with presentations at conferences, etc. where I fall short for this project is I don’t work with GIS much these days and my domain knowledge isn’t what it used to be. If you can help me there, I can help in other areas.
