 +
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in BoF rooms, the BoF lounge, or can be taken off site for lunch or dinner. FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of events should be done informally through the community using the wiki and the on site BoF board.
 +
 +
BoF sessions rooms will be available through regular session times. There Are two rooms setup theater style without AV that are available. There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups. We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.

By submitting a logo you will be assigning your copyright to OSGeo so that it can be used across different mediums. The BLOC may also commission improvements of the winning work. Entries need to appear on the wiki page [[FOSS4G 2017/Logo Entries]] by 23:59 UTC (before midnight) on Tuesday, March 1st, 2016. The BLOC will decide by vote which logo to use.

BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in BoF rooms, the BoF lounge, or can be taken off site for lunch or dinner. FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of events should be done informally through the community using the wiki and the on site BoF board.

BoF sessions rooms will be available through regular session times. There Are two rooms setup theater style without AV that are available. There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups. We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.
