<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, just a brief report on the Perth QGIS meetup hosted by Geogeeks Perth [1] last night at Spacecubed in the Perth CBD, and sponsored by the OSGeo Oceania Microgrants program.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We advertised on Twitter and LinkedIn, sent mail outs to the Geogeeks mailing list, and forwarded to the FOSS4G SotM Oceania Perth Hub mailing list.

<p class="MsoNormal">We used Humanitix [2] for our registration, which worked well. We had 55 registrations, and approximately 30 people turned up, probably a reasonable ratio for a free event.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We ran 4 short community presentations:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">After the presentations, several people said they'd be interested in giving a presentation at another similar event, and a couple of people said they'd like to help organise, which makes it a big success in my mind.<o:p></o:p></p>
