[OSGeo-UK] FOSS4G UK 2018?

Mon Aug 21 04:19:59 PDT 2017

Anyone willing to put their hand up to chair a FOSS4G UK in 2018?

IMHO, nothing will happen unless at least one “someone” (and ideally two “someones”) takes the lead. 

It’s in your hands, we have a sponsor, we have a venue, we have volunteers to help, we need a chair (or 2)

I am also happy to provide a link with GISRUK (if needed) as I am involved there as well.
