Re: [Talk-GB] SotM: Call for session proposals and Scholarship fund

2016-04-25 Thread Rob Nickerson
As a quick follow up - today we approved the ticketing system for SotM so
expect that to go online shortly. Just waiting a blog post to be prepared.

This took a tad longer than hoped because we opted to switch away from
EventBrite and move ticketing in house to OSMF's backend. The time
committed this year is well worth it given the fees we save through not
having to rely on EventBrite. This is money that can be channelled into our
scholarship programme :-)

Best,

[Talk-GB] SotM: Call for session proposals and Scholarship fund

2016-04-25 Thread Rob Nickerson
Hi all,

(cross-post to the lists I am member of)

I'm delighted to report that the planning for State of the Map 2016 is
going well. We have now opened the call for session proposals
(presentations). You have until Saturday 21st May to submit your idea.
Please see:
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/04/19/propose-your-session-to-state-of-the-map-2016/

We have also opened the scholarship programme. This has the same deadline
so don't hesitate. The option is there if you need it so don’t let the cost
of travel stand in your way!

Best regards,
*Rob*

p.s. There are still sponsorship opportunities should your business want to
support OSM via this route. If interested drop me a note.
