Congratulations to the Conference Organising Committee on another successful event a couple of weeks ago. There were about 250 people that attended in-person hubs and another 50 online viewers, a great success!
It's time to start thinking about next year's event: *what sort of event should we have?* There are a few familiar delivery modes (there are definitely more modes than these): - *Online Event* - a webinar or teleconference that is entirely virtual with people joining from wherever they are. Presentations are streamed individually or concurrently. - *Online with In-person Hubs:* this is the mode that was used in 2020 and 2021, the keynote presentations are streamed to local in-person hubs or viewing parties as well as anyone online. The in-person hubs also have the opportunity to showcase presentations by local attendees. Some hubs may provide a video stream of their content. - *In-person Event with In-person Hubs:* a main in-person hub where speakers are before a real audience. Hubs or viewing parties or individuals can join the video stream from wherever they are. - *In-person Event:* a big ol' fashioned conference in one central location. Individuals can join the video stream from wherever they are. Any preferences or ideas? Anything missing? Any guiding principles? I'm leaning towards the latter two with a big in-person event but it isn't up to me: the OSGeo Oceania Board serves the FOSS4G and OSM communities in Oceania so tell us what you think. Thanks for your continued engagement, Jonah Sullivan OSGeo Oceania Secretary
