<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Adam, in WA we have an informal meetup group, we call ourselves "geogeeks" (<a href="https://geogeeks.org/">https://geogeeks.org/</a>). In addition to meetups about QGIS, OSM, etc, we have a Slack workspace where we plan meetups and talk open geospatial. For recreational purposes only :)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Mostly the same group of people have been involved in organising FOSS4G Perth.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It's pretty great to have a little local community of people interested in this stuff, and I encourage anyone who wants it to happen in their home city/town/village to get a microgrant, buy some food, and invite fellow enthusiasts to get together and talk open geospatial!</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 10 Nov 2022, 3:42 pm Adam Steer, <<a href="mailto:adam.d.steer@gmail.com">adam.d.steer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Oceanians<br>
<br>
I am invited to present OSGeo at the Oceania Geospatial Symposium, so<br>
I have 15 minutes to talk about global and local OSGeo roles and ways<br>
to participate.<br>
<br>
What are, as of November 2022 (and hopefully some time into the<br>
future), the best channels for getting connected to OSGeo Oceania?<br>
Mailing lists and slack seem pretty quiet - is there community chat<br>
elsewhere? I know there's something starting up on the OSM discourse<br>
community.. Are there fediverse hashtags to follow yet? What do you<br>
want highlighted in 2-5 minutes of slides for a wide audience covering<br>
local to inter-government organisations?<br>
<br>
I'll combine anything I get with what comes from people on the ground<br>
in Noumea - I plan to ask around and see what people are already aware<br>
of, what people perceive, before 'splaining things to everyone :)<br>
<br>
I hope preparations for Suva are going well!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Adam<br>
