<p>Hi Ant,</p>
<p>Thanks. Template included below and I have added to the
spreadsheet. <br>
</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.</p>
<p>Dear Angela,<br>
<short note if I know them personally><br>
<br>
We are running FOSS4G:UK this year across 8 venues around the UK,
where we bring together anyone who uses, promotes, develops or
want to learn about open source tools and open data for
geospatial. It is on Thu 7th Sept 2023, with a whole day of talks,
workshops and networking across the UK and Ireland. More details
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guklocal2023/index.html">https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guklocal2023/index.html</a>.<br>
<br>
This will be a hybrid conference, but with a twist: there will be
no central physical location. We have eight venues geographically
dispersed across the UK and Ireland, where you can physically meet
up to attend the conference. Our venues are Glasgow, Lancaster,
Maynooth, Swansea, Bristol, Basingstoke, London and Keyworth.<br>
<br>
I think your work <on topic> would make a great presentation
at FOSS4G:UK and it would be great it you were willing to come and
give a short talk, demo or presentation.<br>
<br>
We are open to any talks about FOSS4G (Free and Open Source
Software for Geospatial). Currently we only need a brief paragraph
on what you would like to talk about - no detailed submissions.
Talks, presentations, workshops, and show & tell sessions can
be about:<br>
- New/updated FOSS4G software<br>
- Interesting applications of FOSS4G across industry, commercial,
public sector or third sector<br>
- How to use FOSS4G and related software at a range of levels<br>
<br>
Take a look at our previous programmes for FOSS4G:UK Local 2022

(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4gukonline2020/programme.html">https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4gukonline2020/programme.html</a>) and
FOSS4GUK 2019 in Edinburgh
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guk2019/FOSS4GUK_2019_Programme.pdf">https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guk2019/FOSS4GUK_2019_Programme.pdf</a>) to
get a flavour of the talks we have.<br>
<br>
The current deadline is 31st July. We have designed the Call for
Talks to be as simple as possible so if you do decide to submit
one, it shouldn't take too much time.<br>
<br>
If you don't want to present, it would also be great to have you
as an attendee to meet others involved in the Open Geospatial
Community.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, or would like to know anything more
about the conference, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
My details are below.<br>

Best wishes,<br>

</div>
<div>Good idea - could you post the template, also let us know
who you have sent to (maybe stick the list on the spreadsheet)
so we don't double up?</div>

<div>thanks</div>

All,<br>
<br>
Just to let you know I have sent targeted emails to 14 members
of the <br>
Women in Geospatial Speakers database <br>
(<a href="https://speakers.womeningeospatial.org/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://speakers.womeningeospatial.org/</a>)
asking if they would be <br>
interested in presenting at the conference (let me know if you
want to <br>
know who, or would like the email as a template).<br>
<br>
If there is anyone you know who might be keen to submit a
talk, please <br>
do reach out. Particularly if they are in any
under-represented groups <br>
(which is essentially anyone who is not a white man!).<br>
<br>
Currently we have 5 submissions in the Call for Talks:
Lancaster 1, <br>
Swansea 2, Keyworth 2, Bristol 1.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
Nick.<br>
