Hi Jody,<div><br></div><div>I would be keen for a gathering in Brisbane, code sprint or other. There seems to be a bit of activity down in Vic for OsGeo stuff but not much movement in Qld. Would be good to see something started. </div>

Thanks for making this go Simone; grass roots events are exactly what local chapters are supposed to be about.
</div><div><br></div><div>Can I ask how you found space? I would love to have a gathering is Brisbane (or even a code sprint) but am always held back by the financial hurdle of finding a venue. In Canada we always had a local company provide room; but in Australia insurance considerations seem to get in the way.</div>
