The conference is now 20 days away. Less than three weeks. As Jeremy said at our last teleconference, this time next month it will be all over...
So we are now getting things done and deadlines for various things are looming up (and unlike Douglas Adams we do not enjoy the whooshing sound of them flying by). The conference programme has gone to print (changes to the programme will be reflected on the web and in an errata sheet), signs and banners have been ordered, assorted conference goodies which until now only existed as PDFs will become reality. And of course, t-shirts (both FOSS4G and Maptember) are getting proof-checked and printed. Excellent work from the OSGeo Live team has given us the 7.0 version, which will be available at the conference and used for the workshops where appropriate. The web site now has the live programme timetable, with daily views, and favourites that you can download as an ics calendar file. Its not perfect (it stores faves in browser cookies instead of user accounts for simplicity) but it works. I recently created a version of the programme for use in an Android app, but am struggling to find a free iOS app that allows you to freely create and distribute conference info. I did find one, but testing content creation is a bit tricky without an iOS device to test it on. If anyone is keen on a bit of simple file-format reverse engineering and has an iOS thingy to test it on, *please* get in touch. We're sending out regular emails to delegates and sponsors, encouraging them to make sure they have accommodation and extras booked. I'll not repeat all that here. We are well past our break-even point for attendees. I've even already written my talk presentation. That's the kind of preparedness we have on the committee!
