Hey Folks
Although I haven't seen the actual call for proposals come out, I feel like
there isn't a surge in enthusiasm for running this proposal.
I'm going to step back, and focus on the Hobart proposal for FOSS4G SotM
Oceania for now, but I'm happy to help out if someone wants to lead this
process.
Cheers,

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. The Auckland
University of Technology have already indicated they can provide the venue.
This is obviously a massive commitment and not something we would enter
into lightly, but I think it would be wonderful to welcome the global open
geospatial community to our corner of the Earth, and I hope that you agree!
So, the call to action is to get in touch if you'd like to join the
committee that is putting the bid together.
Please let me know if you'd like to be involved, and we'll work
together to get a letter of intent together.
Kind regards,
Alex
