Dear Steven, James, Jo, and others,
For a FOSS4G UK day, can I suggest that the 19th Sept is better, as there is the big Inspire conference in Germany, 4-8 Sept, and the OGC quarterly Tech Conf is at the OS in Southampton 11-15 Sept.
This may help peoples' travel budgets if the day is back-to back with one of these. And perhaps attract a wider, non-UK audience.
Best wishes, Chris Little
