<div>I think we should ask for and welcome community day submissions. Whether that's an online for or email us I don't think it matters, never know what good ideas might come forward.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The main problem I see is it's really going to depend on who's attending the community day and what their interests are.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So if there are a few people interested in doing QGIS development it makes sense to run a focused QGIS development event.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If there are people interested in working on an OSM import, then we can run that.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Some ideas I had are:<br></div>
<ul><li>OpenAddresses<br></li><ul><li>Automating source updates<br></li><li>Analysis to compare coverage with OSM<br></li><li>Detecting differences between the GNAF and other sources<br></li></ul><li>OpenStreetMap<br></li><ul><li>Preparing or doing an import<br></li><li>Analysis to compare OSM with other open data<br></li><li>A focused mapping task</li></ul></ul><div><br></div>
<div>But again, only makes sense to run these if there are people coming interested in this.<br></div>

<div>I didn't get a change to be around for the end of discussion of the community day, but I understand there is some concern that calling for proposals similar to what we have at <a href="https://foss4g-oceania.org/attend/community-day/community-day-proposal">https://foss4g-oceania.org/attend/community-day/community-day-proposal</a> (which, while live, is not linked from anywhere) may lead to a chaotic community day with too many projects for people to choose from.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I think the alternative would be to focus on three-ish tentpole events (Missing Maps, OSGeo codesprint, QGIS?), and have other people interested in running events email us directly to limit the number of projects offered.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There were also suggestions of wikis and mailing lists, but from my experience with organising OSM events is that most non-technical people don't want to deal with that sort of things, and would prefer to use webforms and eventbrite-like registration.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I personally would like to make the form active for people to propose projects in the lead up to the conference, and then something like eventbrite (or a registration form on our website) where community contributors can indicate the projects they are going to work on. We could handle a few non-shows and a few people turning up without registering, but we would obviously prefer if they did.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Discuss! In particular, it would help be if you can explain why we *shouldn't* be making the project proposal form live, and what we should do alternatively, if not.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks everyone!<br></div>
