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.
