Hello All,
I've been speaking to some of you about holding FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam and have received some very positive feedback. This wouldn't just be a FOSS4G for Tanzania but would be Africa's FOSS4G. There is strong support in Tanzania for this and within the LOC (in cc). What’s needed now is you!
On Monday, our team will submit a Letter of Intent for hosting FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam, but we’re looking to cast the net as far and wide to raise Geo across Africa and the World. Is anyone interested in joining us to make this the best FOSS4G ever?
Please let us know! Hopefully, the OSGEO committee will choose us and we’ll be in the Dar sun in two years.
Best,
Mark
