Information to come!

== Earth Observation Lab Aotearoa Hackathon ==

* Saturday 22nd November 2025
* AUT Campus Foyer, Registration from 9am
* 9am - 3pm
* FREE to participate (No conference ticket required to attend)

A hackathon, using the raw data that is coming down from the TPA-1 satellite(https://www.nanosats.eu/sat/tpa-1) to the UoA Space Institute.

UOA and EOLab are working together to get this data accessible to wider NZ. It is nothing fancy, RGB and fairly low res, needs everything done to it from geo-registration upwards. But could be a cool chance for the community to get a chance to play with raw data that is coming off the first Kiwi built, owned and operated satellite.

== GeoRust ==

Curious about using the Rust programming language for geospatial tasks, maybe through Python bindings?

We've got a range of open source projects loosely centred around cloud-native geospatial libraries that could be interesting for you to work on!
* [https://github.com/developmentseed/obstore obstore] - Interface to files on object storage
* [https://github.com/georust/geotiff geotiff] / [https://github.com/developmentseed/async-tiff async-tiff] - Reading GeoTIFFs in Rust
* [https://github.com/stac-utils/rustac rustac] - SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)-related tools
* ++ more!

Feel free to come along even if you're just a beginner (some of us are pretty new too).
We're keen to get people started on Rust stuff, but also open to hacking on more tricky things in the ecosystem.

== HOTOSM mapping ==

With Mikko Tamura, Regional Community Manager, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Saturday 3pm to 5pm to allow global mappers to join in remotely.

= Call for venue =

FOSS4G-Europe conference committee invites all interested groups from Europe to ''Call for venue''

The proposals shall be submitted by '''2023-03-01''' to [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference-europe Conference-europe mailing list].

== Parameters of the propsal ==

* Expect around 400-500 attendees (so far, the number was between 100+ at FOSS4G-CEE 2012, Prague, to 400 people FOSS4G-Europe, Como). We do not set any upper limit to attendees number - this lies solely at LOC.
* The growing number of participants is not the main scope of the event. We rather prefer modest costs for attendees, therefore co-organising the event with universities might be of good way, how to ''keep the costs lower''.
* Cooperation with universities of course implies careful selection of conference date, which is usually, but not necessary, in the holiday season.
* Although the policy in Europe has changed, we still advice you to make sure, that the venue is covered with stable and relayable WIFI connectivity.
* Communication language is English
* FOSS4G-Europe is usually 3 days conference, with 4 parallel sessions, each talk was arranged for 30 minutes (including discussions)
* Please consider also, that workshops are part of the conference, you shall organize rooms, ideally with computers. The workshops can provide both 4-hours and 8-hours slots.
* You should provide also several rooms during the conference, for BOF meetings
* Usually Code Sprint events are part of the conference - it is preferred, if you could arrange rooms at least after or before the conference itself (about 1-2 days), if you could cover both time frames, it would be appreciated.
* Please, refer [[FOSS4G_Manifesto#FOSS4G_Europe_Manifesto|FOSS4G-Europe Manifesto]] for further details
* There also is [[FOSS4G_Handbook|FOSS4G Handbook]] you might see useful
* We believe, students are our future - please take significant discount for students into your budget proposal
* What are your COVID-19 safety plans? What will you do if travel is significantly restricted in 2024? What is your financial strategy to make the event sustainable in this complex situation?

== Position of the Local organisation committee to OSGeo and Conference committee Europe ==

* The [[Conference-Europe#Committee|FOSS4G-Europe Conference committee]] will, after the selection process, "kindly ask" the best venue offer, to host FOSS4G-Europe on behalf of OSGeo-European chapter (in formation)
* There is possibility to negotiate with OSGeo.org for the seeding money for necessary spending under the condition, that the LOC will guarantee at least balanced budget during the final counting. The seeding money shall be negotiated with OSGeo Board of directors
* Program committee shall be delegated from nominees from LOC as well as OSGeo on mutual understanding manner.
* The LOC can count for the help of the new OSGeo Conference Resources group https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Resources

2022-05-05T19:58:48Z

Vasile: /* Bid Process Stage Two */

* FOSS4G 2023 bid is open for all the countries in the world.
** [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019] was in Bucharest, Romania
** [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2020] was planed for Calgary, Canada (canceled due to COVID-19)

** [http://2021.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2022] will be in Florence, Italy
** FOSS4G 2023 will be ... ?

* "Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) from all the countries in the world.
* Regardless whether one or more letter(s) of intent are received, the Conference Committee members will vote. The vote procedure for 2023 is as follows: Every member of CC votes on every LoI. LoI's that receive more than 50% of "thumbs up"-votes will pass stage 1.
* Selected letters will be invited to prepare a full bid based on the usual RFP process.
* A proposal outlining budget, potential sponsors, LOC members, and venue costs will be required, even if only one letter is received.
* Based on experiences from the past years, we would like to stress the following tasks:
** OSGeo anticipates a Travel Grant program. There is a budget from OSGeo, but we expect the bidder to further collect money for TGP and to offer free or at least reduced passes for grantees.
** The bid should stress the alignment with OSGeo values as given in OSGeo's CoC and contain hints on a conference CoC
