Re: [OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee
Hi Tony I reached out to a cartography society in 2018 and was more or less rebuffed. Never hurts to try again though! Maybe a different name on the outreach is all it needs...

Re: [OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee
Has anyone ever considered combining one of the Oceania, FOSS4G or SoTM conferences with the cartography societies' conferences in Australia or New Zealand?Or are they chalk and cheese? I can see a crossover in interest and maybe one providing experiences for the other.

Re: [OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee
Hi Alex, There was a back to back FOSS4G and SotM in 2022 in Firenze, Italy, and another one proposed for 2023 (that didn't go ahead). I don't know when the Call for Venues will be open for SotM 2025 but previously it's been between March and June the year prior. We are certainly overdue for a global SotM conference in this region, and I would be ecstatic to see it happen. -- Andrew Harvey On Fri, 8 Dec 2023, at 4:07 PM, Alex Leith via FOSS4G-Oceania wrote: > Hey Folks > > A group of us from this year's Auckland conference are interested in putting > a bid together to host the 2025 global FOSS4G event, probably in conjunction > with the global SotM conference. > > The call for proposals is about to be announced, and the letter of intent is > likely to be due by the 8th of January, 2024, which means that we have to > move fairly quickly to take this initial step.

Re: [OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee
Hi Alex, thanks for sharing this information. I've only just re-joined the OO board and don't know yet if I can join this committee. But I'm very interested in the discussion and would like to stay informed. There are quite a few people in this community who have been involved in organising global FOSS4G events and could have valuable input, but may not be able to join a committee right now. Is there some way people like this can be kept in the loop as this progresses?
