[OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee

[Andrew Harvey]

Hi Alex,

There was a back to back FOSS4G and SotM in 2022 in Firenze, Italy, and another one proposed for 2023 (that didn't go ahead).

I don't know when the Call for Venues will be open for SotM 2025 but previously it's been between March and June the year prior.

We are certainly overdue for a global SotM conference in this region, and I would be ecstatic to see it happen.
