>> >> We know that the FOSS4G 2026 will be in Hiroshima. Is there a fixed date yet for the conference? The last calendar week in August has been mentioned before but it would be good to have a confirmation in this regard before the handover after FOSS4G 2025 in Auckland. We assume that Hiroshima will be held during the Northern Hemisphere summer?
