This is the discussion space for the FOSS4G Europe 2025 conference setup. We have a proposal to hold the European conference in July 2025 in the beautiful city of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Let’s have an open discussion (a QA period) going for the next two weeks, ending Sunday, 27.10.2024. If you have something on your mind which would make our gathering even better, please feel free to post you question either here under this topic or on the conference-europe mailinglist. I will collect them all to the OSGeo wiki page https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference-Europe-2025 for future generations.
Also: if you feel like helping out in organizing this event in any capacity please feel free to reach out to me.
Some time has passed but I think we can continue the FOSS4G Europe 2025 announcements and news under this topic too.
So here we go: since yesterday (2.12 in 'DD.MM'-format) evening the call-for-proposals for FOSS4G Europe 2025 for workshops and general program talks is open. More details on the conference homepage at 2025.europe.foss4g.org/call-for-proposals/. We are working on the Academic track CfP to be opened soon too, and we will boast about it on the usual channels:
… and we also now have a brand-new-shiny FB account @foss4ge
don’t you just love the consistency at-handling ourselves…
Anyway, as a sidenote. We are hibernating the twitter account @foss4ge for the moment. This means that the account will be there, but we will not be doing any announcments/posts on that particular channel.
Please note that the workshops CfP deadline is 19.01.2025, and general program talks a month later on 16.02.2025. We are doing this in the hopes that we can get the list of accepted workshops out before the closing of talks CfP. But we’ll see how this goes, the Program Committee will keep us updated.
We received a whopping 35 proposals for workshops. Please help us do some capacity planning by joining in the community vote for workshops. The vote is open until CET end-of-day 2 February.
