[FOSS4G-Oceania] Who is ready to commit to leading an activity on the community day?

[John Bryant]

Definitely +1 for a QGIS focus on the Community Day. Perhaps it's time to
get in touch with the QGIS Australia group (primarily Andrew Jeffrey, but
also Nyall Dawson & Nathan Woodrow), and ask for their input. They might
want to run with something at the code sprint, and they might also have
ideas for something else too.

It's worth noting their event in Sydney in November 2017 was a big boost in
getting our event started, and they were thinking about turning it into an
annual event, so I feel it's important to make sure they are involved in
this as much as they want to be.
