*Dear HOT Community,You are invited to the 2018 HOT Summit at FOSS4G, August 29-31 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! This year we again had a great selection of potential locations for the HOT Summit and were faced with a hard decision as we were very keen to have a joint event with both the OpenStreetMap and FOSS4G communities. As a first time chance to hold the Summit in a HOT project location, and through a wonderful partnership we are pleased to bring the HOT Summit to FOSS4G this year. HOT will lead the “Widening Access and Humanitarian Mapping” conference track. We welcome you to Tanzania -- home to our flagship Ramani Huria and Data Zetu projects.The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference is the yearly gathering of the OSGeo community and this year they are looking to bring impact stories to their audience. With humanitarian and disaster response use of FOSS, especially in regards to geospatial, the HOT community brings an amazing showcase to an already impressive conference program. We can’t wait to see the collaboration between these open communities.Key Dates: - Coming Soon: Discounted Ticket Sales for HOT community- March 21: Presentation Submission <http://2018.foss4g.org/programme.html> Deadline- August 27-28: FOSS4G Pre-Conference Workshops- August 29-31: FOSS4G and HOT Summit Main Conference- September 1-2: FOSS4G Code Sprints and Community Events Stay tuned to http://2018.foss4g.org <http://2018.foss4g.org> for more information on FOSS4G and the HOT Summit.--The 2018 HOT Summit Working Group* <https://donate.hotosm.org>
