>> Hi
>>
>> A couple of weeks back the OSGeo:UK team (Jo Cook, Dave Barter, Steven
>> Feldman, Alastair Graham, Antony Scott and Matt Travis) mentioned on
>> twitter that we were trying to put together an online FOSS4G event.
>>
>> We are delighted to now formally announce that we will be running
>> FOSS4GUK Online on 17th June.
>>
>> This will be an online-only event intended to give us a little FOSS4G fix
>> while we are in, or just coming out of, lock-down. It will be a chance to
>> share some of the work we’ve been doing during (or in spite of) this
>> strange time, as well as a useful experiment in how we can run online
>> conferences alongside our face to face events in the future.
>>
>> We hope that the online format will allow our community across the UK and
>> from further afield to participate from their desktops whether it is for
>> the whole day or dipping in and out for an hour or two. We want to make the
>> online event as interactive and engaging as possible so we are open to your
>> suggestions via the Call for Presentations.
>>
>> *Technology*
>> We have decided to use zoom to run this event, we looked at most of the
>> alternatives (open and proprietary) and we concluded that zoom offered the
>> best platform for us to run this event in terms of stability, scalability,
>> features and ease of use for delegates and admins. We have tested on Linux,
>> Mac, Windows, Android and iOS. It is also very reasonably priced so we are
>> able to run the event as a free event for hundreds of delegates, we will
>> probably encourage delegates to make a charitable donation but that will
>> not be mandatory.
>>
>> *Call for Presentations*
>> We welcome technical talks, demos, user stories (particularly ones about
>> the use of FOSS4G tech during the Covid19 crisis), thought pieces... In
>> fact we welcome any talks that are based on Open Source Geo and are not
>> pushing a sales message.
>>
>> We will also be offering a small number of workshops (ca 90 minutes)
>> which will need to be instruction style rather than fully interactive.
>>
>> Our call for presentations
>> <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_1Hs7RGp1sx7sPAB2KMBanDW36ELkxHJE8nl5_3iMnVivjg/viewform> has
>> been extended until the 18th May, we hope you give us a hard choice
>> choosing what to include in the programme.
>>
>> *Volunteering*
>> We need volunteers to help in the planning and build-up stages and also
>> to help on the big day. If you would like to get involved please fill in
>> the Volunteering form
>> <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6pVdrMBN4BYw6pEfjPXD8z_oRMZWxQ-tvsh2mrwTcn8aP8Q/viewform>
>> and we will get in touch as the needs arise.
>>
>> We would welcome people to assist in programming, marketing, web stuff,
>> design, responding to delegate enquiries, video editing skills, experience
>> of running large meetings or events on zoom and possibly streaming to
>> youtube. Tell us what you can do and we will get back to you
>>
>> Right now, *we need a FOSS4GUK Online logo* that incorporates the
>> traditional FOSS4G ribbon
>> <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#Logo>. Please send us your
>> ideas.
>>
>> That’s it for now folks, we look forward to your presentation and
>> workshop submissions, your offers of help and most of all seeing you online
>> at FOSS4GUK online on 17th June.
>>
>> We will keep posting formal updates on this list, there will be a new
>> event website at uk.osgeo.org in a few days and look out for lots of
>> activity on our twitter account @OSGeoUK <https://twitter.com/osgeouk>
>>
>> May the FOSS be with you
