FOSS4G Handbook

From OSGeo
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This Cookbook should be taken as a guide rather than a rulebook. It aims to provide guidance to future FOSS4G events, based upon the collective wisdom gained during prior FOSS4G events. As such, it is a continuous work in progress, and we encourage all FOSS4G organisors to contribute to and enhance this cookbook.


Suggestions for OSGeo Booths

  • Event should provide an OSGeo booth
  • Event should include OSGeo Ambassador speaker who would present on an aspect of OSGeo
  • The OSGeo ambassador is expected to coordinate and man the OSGeo booth
  • The OSGeo Local Chapters are strongly encouraged to hang out at the OSGeo booth
  • please expand
