QGIS Meetup at FOSS4G Oceania '24

[Emma Hain]

Hi All

We have the opportunity to meet-up at FOSS4G Oceania on the Monday 4th November.

We can run a contributors day for those keen to rock up early to the Conference. The activities can range from:

- specialist talks

- hackathon

- strategy for QGIS AU

- ask a question/mentor

- panel session on discussion of pertinent issues

We can meet for Lunch and then break out into groups.

The event will obviously be dependent on numbers, whether we hire something specifically or just undertake it in formally at a Pub.

Keen to hear everyone's thoughts here

Cheers

Em

Thanks Emma! Sounds great, I'm keen. 

My 2c: The conference will be loaded with talks, so I reckon we should lean towards participatory (hackathon, strategy, writing docs, lodging bugs, feature requests, etc), though maybe a preso or 2 could help set the scene. The type of programming will have an impact on who comes. My thought would be to attract those who actively participate with QGIS (and those who want to), by focusing on productive hands-on activities.

It would be good to know if we can access a space at UTAS or elsewhere. If we need to hire a space, perhaps we could ask OSGeo Oceania for a grant. Or, failing all that, head to the pub :)

Cheers

John
