[California] Does anyone know when FOSS4G North America might be taking place and if it will be in NorCal?

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Sorry, not thinking here. We _just_ hosted the FOSS4G-NA this year :)
but as far as I know most of this was organized by the LocationTech
folks and not really by our chapter. We did NOT put in a proposal for
the 2017 global event.
