[FOSS4G-Oceania] FW: FOSS4G-Oceania Workshops Announced [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Martin Tomko]

Apologies for miossing the meeting today, had a meeting I could not alter.
Agreed wit hSarah ( and I also forgot that the workshops were not included). Will have to scrape some more funds… Hope 100 is not too steep for many attendants ( but it is a fair price) . That said, they include catering, right? So if you book two workshops, and eat only once, should we not provide a discount?

Great!

But yes, also 'registration can be separate' implys that the cost is covered in the full conference registration. Which is what I had thought until this morning too. Oops sorry to miss this too.

So, if these are two separate registration processes, which I believe they are?  Perhaps we should add a link at the end of each (i.e. on the 'resigtered!' page or in the ticket email) to link to the other registration process... Just so we don't lose potential people (i.e. registrating for conference, but did not know about the workshops) in this process?

Awesome, thanks for spamming, Jonah!

Just one small point of clarification: the half day workshops are $100 each, so attending both a morning and afternoon session would be $200. In case anyone asks.

The FOSS4G-Oceania<https://foss4g-oceania.org/> Conference has announced the workshop line-up.<https://foss4g-oceania.org/attend/workshops>

Workshops are a great way to get practical experience in a hands-on session guided by expert practitioners and project developers.

Workshop registration<https://foss4g-oceania.org/attend/registration> can be separate from the full conference registration: workshop day is $100, full conference is $400.

The workshop submission period is closed, the submission period for the Community Day<https://foss4g-oceania.org/attend/community-day>, and conference presentations<https://foss4g-oceania.org/present/call-presentations-and-workshops> are still open.

The Community Day is an opportunity to get participants to engage with any project.

Projects could be:

•         Humanitarian mapping (Missing Maps<https://www.missingmaps.org/> or Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team<https://www.hotosm.org/>)

•         Local mapping

•         Testing software features

•         Improving or creating instructional documentation<https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/> and translations<https://www.transifex.com/postgis/postgis/> for software

•         Improving features in software and/or identifying and debugging glitches

•         Citizen Science<http://www.ga.gov.au/news-events/events/public-talks/public-talks-archive/people-power-how-citizen-science-can-take-your-science-further> initiatives
