Hello, The OSGeo UK group are aiming to host The Free and Open Source 4 Geo conference in Nottingham in 2013. They are down to the last 2 bidders and are trying to build support. This conference is superb, last year it was held in Denver and this year in Beijing. It attracts 1000+ open source mapping techies, many of whom build the technology OpenStreetMap uses. Please try to keep an eye on it, offer support or even help out. Please read below how you can help and spread the message.
Dear All, Preparations are afoot for our bid to host FOSS4G in the UK in 2013, and we're looking for letters of support from companies and individuals. We're not, at this stage, soliciting for sponsorship, just people to say "We support this bid and bringing FOSS4G to the UK in 2013". If you or your company would be prepared to do this, we have a template letter that you can fill in/edit and send back to us. We're keen that we don't spam people with requests for letters, so if you've already been asked, then please ignore this email, but if you'd like to help then let me know and I'll add you to our list and send you the template. Deadlines for letters are the middle of next week so that we can collate them all to go in our bid submission. For individuals- keep an eye on our bid blog at http://foss4g4uk.posterous.com/, we'll be putting a page up soon for people to sign up to offer to help- so watch this space!
