I am in strong support for FOSS4G in Dar-es-salaam and since I am also part of the organisers for the Geo4Africa Summit we shall be holding a codesprint in Kampala, Uganda.<br>
This gives a strong stand for Africa as a region and promote FOSS4G in Africa.<br>
<br>
This is an opportunity that has to be maximised for the region.<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
I've been speaking to some of you about holding FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es<br>
Salaam and have received some very positive feedback. This wouldn't<br>
just be a FOSS4G for Tanzania but would be Africa's FOSS4G. There is<br>
strong support in Tanzania for this and within the LOC (in cc).<br>
What’s needed now is you!<br>
<br>
On Monday, our team will submit a Letter of Intent for hosting FOSS4G<br>
2018 in Dar es Salaam, but we’re looking to cast the net as far and<br>
wide to raise Geo across Africa and the World. Is anyone interested in<br>
joining us to make this the best FOSS4G ever?<br>
<br>
Please let us know! Hopefully, the OSGEO committee will choose us and<br>
we’ll be in the Dar sun in two years.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
