Hi all, This was mentioned in passing at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2017-November/011537.html but I feel it warrants its own thread.
1. A FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) and SOTM (OpenStreetMap State of the Map) is being organised Melbourne in 21-24 November 2018. Preliminary details are at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G-SOTM-Oceania There are few details at the moment, but it looks like it will be a paid even, half half split between FOSS4G and SOTM, include an academic stream, is aimed at both data contributors and consumers and all other interested parties in OSM Australia. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Personally I'd like to see the event pricing differentiate between community and business ticket just as the main SOTM event does to provide a cheaper option for volunteer OSM mappers. 2. It has been raised by someone to set up a local chapter OSM Foundation in Australia and have the formal incorporation meeting at the conference. I feel both of these things are incredibly relevant to our local OSM community so I'm raising them here so no one feels like they've been left out of discussions.
