[OSGeo-UK] BCS SoC Conference plans for 2018

[OSGeo:UK]

Timing is not ideal as it is immediately after FOSS4G in Dar es Salaam which means some of us won’t be back but no doubt there are many who won’t be going to Dar who will be interested in a London event.

Given that we have a FOSS4GUK in planning for March we will need to come up with something different to attract delegates and organisers in September. Perhaps the QGIS UG might want to organise something?

cheers
