After two successful FOSS4G:UK Local events in 2022 and 2023, and 
FOSS4G:UK Online in 2020, it’s time for us all to get together again in 
2024 - for the first time since 2019 in Edinburgh. More details online 
at https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guk2024/

OSGeo:UK are calling for volunteers to help organise an event later this 
year, and for suggestions or offers of venues. We’ll need at least 6-8 
people to organise everything (we already have a couple from the 
committee) - a few who are based in the venue location, but most can be 
remote. It will take a bit of time but anyone who has done it in the 
past will also tell you that it’s fun, rewarding and sociable in equal 
parts.

Some parameters/criteria for the event and venue:

- Well connected by public transport
- Able to hold 150 - 300 people
- Capacity of at least two separate rooms
- Facilities for on-site catering (either provided by venue or bought in)
- Streaming/recording facilities
- Good wifi
- Taking place over two days, dates TBC, but possibly October or 
November. 21st Nov is GIS Day and 22nd Nov is PostGIS day
- Access to accommodation a bonus

If you think you can help in any way on any front, or just have ideas or 
comments, please fill in this quick form now: 
https://forms.gle/782n58jc3cjdZfSA6. We’ll be reviewing the responses on 
(or soon after) 31st March and we will make a decision on whether we can 
go ahead. Look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you in November!
