Great.
We should have a talk about how to organise a FOSS4G at Georabble ☺ Geo enough, ain’t it?

OK, we'd better wrap this one up. My read of it is there's general consensus on keeping the Thursday evening open for a Georabble. I'm hopeful we can generate a bit of a buzz around it, and draw from the wider geospatial crowd.

I'll carry on the discussion with the Georabble organisers and we'll see if we can pin them down on that date.

As many of you know, the way Georabbles usually work is 4 or 5 short (10 minute) talks about something spatial, with an emphasis on the rules, which include 'no sales pitches'. It'd be interesting to see if they'd accept some talks about open source/open data, surely there will be a plethora of people around our conf that would be able to deliver something interesting! In my experience, the Georabble talks are often just the first 4 or 5 talks that the organisers find through their networks. With that in mind, if you know of someone who'd give a great 10 min talk, encourage them to get in touch with the Melbourne Georabble folks! Rules<https://georabble.org/about/> are here.

Cheers
