Hi All,
Both myself and David Dean are part of the FOSS4G-SOTM-Oceania organizing
committee.
We are still put together the details and would really appreciate your feedback
on things like presentations, pricing etc.
At this point we expect the conference to be over 4 days, with the first day
dedicated to workshops, days 2 and 3 the conference itself, and day 4
(Saturday) code sprint and/or open mapping party.
Early next year will be the call for presenters so it would be great to get
some mappers making some presentations.
David and myself will keep the group updated regularly, and we should have the
website and social media sorted out early in the New Year.
Feel free also to email the committee directly at [email protected]
Cheers
Greg

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._______________________________________________
