I did <span>organise</span> the 2011 International Symposium on GIS in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences here in NZ, and managed to give it a somewhat Open Source flavour :-) A very different scale to FOSS4G. Not many venues in li'l ol' NZ could cope with FOSS4G.<br><br>However, spending a few months a year at sea with no internet & limited email is not conducive to organising such things, but can be worked around if necessary. <br><br>Cheers<br><br>Brent<br><br>--- On Sat, 5/11/13, Cameron Shorter <cameron.shorter@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br>From: Cameron Shorter <cameron.shorter@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2013 Nottingham Update<br>To: discuss@lists.osgeo.org<br>Date: Saturday, May 11, 2013, 6:12 PM<br><br><br>On 11/05/13 07:54, pcreso@pcreso.com
