[OSGeo-UK] BCS Better Mapping Event (Charley Glynn)

[Steven Feldman]

Charlie

Do you charge delegates to attend? If so how much? Is the event open to non BCS members?

It sounds like the events that BCS have run for a number of years but with a QGIS focus, is that correct? Presumably BCS will organise? What help would you need from OSGeo specifically?

Sorry if I am sounding difficult on this but I am struggling to understand what involvement you want from us apart from perhaps paying for lunch.
