Dear all, Hope you are having some great times with all the activities going through both global & regional OSM communities.
We do know you all are super excited for the upcoming SotM Asia 2019 event in Dhaka by OpenStreetMap Bangladesh Community focusing the upcoming SotM Asia 2019 at Dhaka. Though being bit late in communication from our side we promise you an exciting event coming up. Sharing a bit update on our preparations & plans finalized from our side till now: 1. Date: We are aiming on having the event on 1st & 2nd November 2019. 2. Venue: We are already in contact with couple more possible venues other than the proposed one (Dhaka College), considering the traffic condition, more easier accessibility & more government level inclusion. Will have that finalized by end of this month. 3. Website & Social media presence: Website is almost ready and hoping to push live by next week (20th to be precise). Social media contents will start appearing with pre-event stories & upcoming events & meetups details. 4. Logo Contest: Logo Contest will be pushed by next week. 5. Call for presentations: Call for presentation is due by 30th May and will be pushed live. 6. Sponsorships: Already shortlist of local sponsors being drafted & started reaching out with first phase of communication. Will need help & guidance from your side for the international & regular sponsors. 7. Visa & travel support: Already communication has been channeled to local agencies & selection is finalized. 8. Accommodation support: Hotels & boarding shortlisting process is ongoing. Hope the updates gave you enough confident that we are on track. We will be pushing frequent updates from last week of this month and would love to hear about your feedback & suggestions.
