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

Tue Jul 3 04:21:35 PDT 2018

hey folks,

I think it’s worth checking out the OSgeo project page:
https://www.osgeo.org/projects/ - and if there’s interest, gather some
proposals from there.

It would be great to see some focussed effort on OSgeo things (since we’re
asking for their support), QGIS fits nicely :)

Cheers

Adam
