[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2026 & more

[IWASAKI NOBUSUKE (岩崎亘典)]

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful proposal.
We are truly honored to have the opportunity to host FOSS4G 2026 in
Hiroshima, especially as we celebrate both the 20th anniversary of the
OSGeo Foundation and the OSGeo-organized FOSS4G conference. It would be our
great pleasure to welcome everyone to Hiroshima.

Regarding updates to our 2025 proposal, the schedule for FOSS4G 2026 is
planned as follows:
 • August 30-31: Hands-on Workshops
 • September 1-3: Main Conference
 • September 4-5: Code Sprint

As for the venues, the Main Conference (September 1 to 3) will be held at
the same venue as originally proposed. This venue has already been reserved
to include the preparation and clean-up periods. However, for the Hands-on
Workshops and the Code Sprint, we are considering alternative locations,
such as local universities in the city. This change is being made to
address the logistical issues associated with holding these events at the
main venue.

We are committed to making FOSS4G 2026 a memorable and impactful event for
the OSGeo and FOSS4G community. If there are any additional requirements or
suggestions, please feel free to share them.

Warm regards,
Nobusuke,
