Viability of running a satRday in Tanzania in parallel to FOSS4G #34

Closed DragonflyStats closed 6 years ago

DragonflyStats commented 6 years ago

FOSS4G - an Open Source GIS conference - is taking place in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania in September. It might be too short notice, but we can see about helping and facilitating a satRday event in parallel.

R is quite commonly used in the GIS, so it is plausible that a few volunteers could be recruited from the attendees to help out, give talks, workshops etc.

A key question is who is involved in the Tanzanian R community who could lead the project?

Think this might be a bit short notice unless you can identify some local organizers. It is worth keeping an eye out for such connections though.
