OSGeo UK Local Chapter
OSGeo:UK is pleased to announce that there will be a regional one day FOSS4G event in Bristol this year on 12th November, at the Engine Shed at Bristol Temple Meads, following on from our events there in 2023 and 2022. This will be an in person only event, but we hope to be able to record and publish presentations if we can.
The programme is now confirmed - we’ve got a packed day with 14 fantastic talks, so sign up now to confirm your place!
Registration is now open! If you are coming, it will help us if you register as early as possible to give an idea of numbers (refunds are available up to 5th November). As in previous years, there will be a registration fee of £20 (including refreshments and lunch) to cover costs - any surplus made from tickets and sponsorship will be used to allow OSGeo:UK to provide financial support to open source geospatial projects (see Past Donations to see how we have supported open source geospatial projects).
We also want FOSS4G:UK South West 2024 to be as accessible as possible, so we have a number of codes available for free tickets. These are available for students, under represented groups, those on a low income, those in precarious employment, and anyone else for whom a £20 ticket would be a barrier (financial or administrative). All of these criteria are self-defined. We very much encourage you to email osgeouk@gmail.com to ask for a code, stating which group you belong to (no further justification is needed).
We are very grateful for the support of CGI in supporting sponsorship of the venue for FOSS4G:UK South West 2024. We are grateful to our other core sponsors including Telespazio
