I have received the suggestion of "the edge" for a brisbane osgeo meet up - it is next to the main state library with a focus on digital media. Since open source is the ultimate digital media I will make an inquiry to see if it is suitable.</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>
