[Aust-NZ] Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial -FOSS4G- (2017)

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Jenny,
I'm personally not interested in bidding for another FOSS4G event, but 
there may be some Melbourne members who would like to volunteer. (I'm 
CCing the aust-nz email list)

My expectation is that the most likely locations to win the 2017 FOSS4G 
would be in South or Central America or Asia (maybe Japan).
