Hello,
don't forget, that we organize the OSGeo Code Sprint in Bonn from
Sunday-Sunday, March 18 to 25, 2018 (8 days - Arrival/Departure Sundays)
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Code_Sprint_2018
We hope you will all come to Bonn.
We are a bit late and will start advertizing the event soon.
See you Astrid

Hello,
Thanks for organizing this community meeting !
I would like to stress a few points.
First, would it be possible to publish the details of the program as
soon as possible ? 21th to 25th of February means 5 full days. It is
not
possible for most developers to attend this whole period. In order to
be
able to anticipate for plane tickets and all, having the program would
allow to focus on the most adapted days for each of us.
Second, I think we should be more careful on the dates for the
community
meetings. It is the third time in a row that QGIS developer meeting
takes place during school holidays ( in France and other European
countries at least).
I know that finding dates for such a (big) event is very difficult, and
depends on a lot of external parameters. Holidays especially can be
different for different countries. But a quick check may be useful to
allow for more people to come without them having to cancel holidays
with their families.
Note that this was particularly true for the event organized on May
1st,
which is a mandatory day off in most countries in the world.
In the same spirit, please have the codesprint where you want
developers
to attend on week days and not during the weekend. QGIS developers are
paid professionals, and working on weekend is an exception which should
be reduced to the minimum.
This points are probably worth discussing, and I hope we will have this
opportunity in Madeira.
Greetings,
Vincent

Hi All
We have a confirmed venue for the next QGIS get together - it is in
Madeira from the 20-25 February 2018. If you plan on attending please
head over to the wiki page and register your intention to be there:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/DeveloperMeetingMadeira2018
Please also note that this time we are going to try to be a little
more
organised for helping newcomers, so I have added sections to the wiki
page for ‘Mentor streams’ - I have nominally added 4 streams but if
you
would like to host more please add a new section to the wiki page. If
you are interested in attending one of the streams, please add your
name
to the appropriate section.
Lene will no doubt provide you with more details (via the wiki) as we
get closer to the event as will Duarte and Sara (our local organisers
in
Madeira).
Another important thing to note is that the cost of attending will be
higher than usual given the more removed location and that we do not
have very cheap accommodation available. If you intend on requesting
travel assistance for the event, please fill out our new form
<https://goo.gl/forms/YKm5fo7ll5GfQEJI3> as soon as possible. Also be
aware that funds are limited so we may not be able to cover everyone’s
costs or all costs completely - applications will be taken on merit
with
priority given to active contributors to the QGIS project.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Madeira!
Regards
