[OSGeo-UK] Fwd: Conference Opportunity with Visit Manchester

[Ian Turton]

I got this in my inbox, I currently have no desire to be involved in
organising a conference and probably wouldn't choose Manchester if I did
but if anyone wants to investigate/follow up.


It has to be said the typos and general inability to get my details right
(surely a copy paste from LinkedIn) makes me wonder about their ability to
help us but they might have some cash?

       Dear Mr Turton,

I understand that you held Co-founder and developer of Geotools project for
Open Source Geospatial Foundation -OSGeo and hope that you may help me with
some information with the FOSS4G-Europe OSGeo's European Conference on Free
and Open Source Software for Geospatial.



I work in the conference team at Visit Manchester – the tourist board and
convention bureau for Manchester and my role is to research international
conferences which would be relevant to the profile of our city. I am
currently investigating the possibility of bidding to host a future
FOSS4G-Europe conference.



I recently spoken to Jachym, Contact for the Association who has advised we
make contact with the national community to asses the appetite to attract
this conference to the UK.



I would be extremely grateful for any advice you can give in this matter.



I would like to thank you for your time in advance and look forward to
hearing from you.



With kind regards,



Angela
