[Latinmag] Candidacy of the National Observatory (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil): Latinmag 2023

Sab Dic 31 12:03:40 -03 2022

Hello everyone,

I support Rio de Janeiro's candidacy and I certainly celebrate that 
there is a candidacy. Latinmag meetings coming back to life is something 
we should be happy about. I will always miss Roberto in this meetings, 
and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Getting together is a nice way to 
honour him.

I believe we should discuss in person all the issues that Harald raises. 
I don't think that doing it by email is convenient. We are a Latin 
American organization, don't know if typical or not. However, I do not 
share the negative view of being so.

Best regards,
Flor
