[OSGeo Africa] Come and join us at the 2nd International QGIS Conference, May 2016

[Tim Sutton]

Dear All

I know Europe is a bit far away for many of you, but I would like to share this anyway in case you can join us. Last year we held a very successful 1st International QGIS Users’ Conference in Nødebo, Denmark. This year we are teaming up with the Spanish Free GIS software chapter to hold the 2nd international QGIS Users Conference in Girona, Spain from the 24-29 May 2016. I know many of you have probably been to ESRI User Conferences (or at least heard about them). The QGIS User Conference is similar in that it is a forum to interact with users and developers. We will be holding our 6 monthly QGIS developer hackfest at the end of the conference too, so it would be great to see some african representation there! The conference web site is http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre/en/ <http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre/en/>.

Right now the call for presentations and call for workshops has just gone out, so if anyone is interested in presenting there, please see the details below.


The Call for Papers and Workshops for the 2nd International QGIS User and Developer Conference, is already open!

The Local Organizing Committee of the 2nd International QGIS User and Developer Conference, is pleased to announce the call for Presentations and Workshops for the 2016 Conference to be held in Girona (May 25th - 26th). If you have an open source geospatial story to tell, based on QGIS, we want to hear it!
