This week, Steven and Dennis Bauszus, principal software engineer at Geolytix, discuss the UK’s bid to host FOSS4G 2027 in Bristol and the significant work required to deliver the global open geospatial conference. With their letter of intent submitted and a full proposal due in March, the team must outline detailed plans covering finances, programming, hybrid streaming, accessibility, diversity, and logistics for an 800-person, multi-track event. They emphasize the importance of volunteers, employer support, sponsorship, and travel grants to ensure global participation, as well as a strong code of conduct and inclusive approach. Bristol is positioned as both a strong geospatial hub and an active destination for international attendees, with the event likely planned for July 2027. The episode closes with excitement about promoting the bid at FOSS4G 2026 in Hiroshima and an open call for the community to get involved.
