I know that QGIS is truly and international project with people spread all
around the globe, but some of you are here in North America.

The 2013 Free and OpenSource Software for Geospatial North America
Conference will be held in Minneapolis, MN May 22-24.
http://foss4g-na.org/We are working hard to put together a great
conference for you. Registration
is now open! <https://foss4gna.eventbrite.com/>Register by April 1, 2013 to
get the Early Bird Rate.

We have two confirmed keynote speakers (an a few more to be announced soon.)

*Eric Gundersen, CEO, MapBox*.  With big names converting from Google Maps
to MapBox (USA Today, Foursquare, etc.), Eric will be discussing the
business proposition/value of open source geo.

*Erek Dyskant, Sr. Analytics Engineer, Democratic National Committee*.
Whether you were happy or sad with the outcome of the recent election, they
must have done something right!  Erek talk about how open source solutions
were used to empower tacticians with geospatial data, and describe what
drove the intentional choice of using open source.

The presentation abstract submittal period closes on February 14th.  That
means that you only have two weeks left to get your abstract in.

There will also be a code sprint concurrent with the sponsor day on May
24th. Registration <https://foss4gna.eventbrite.com/> is free but required
for the code sprint.

QGIS has really become the defacto open source desktop GIS.  I would love
to see some presentations from the QGIS community, please consider
submitting an abstract.  Think about organizing a group of people for a
sprint on code, plugins, documentation, symbols, etc.

Thanks,

David.
