[Foss4ga.discuss] BoF of local chapter in Asia
by Foss4g Asia 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Venkatesh Raghavan Date: Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 7:38 AM Subject: BoF of local chapter in Asia Hi All, Great to meet-up again at FOSS4G-Asia 2018. As representatives for OSGeo Local Chapters from China, India, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand are available at FOSS4G-Asia 2018 conference. It maybe a good idea to meet up at a BoF on 3 Dec, 2018 between 18:00 and 19:00. The main agenda item could be 1) Formation of OSGeo-Asia regional alliance (as you are aware, there is already an OSGeo-Europe regional group) 2) Share ideas about organizing the next FOSS4G-Asia 2020 3) Any other item I look forward to your response about the possibility of participating in the BoF and also suggestions regarding the agenda items for discussion. Best Venka

The poster should be *easily readable* at a distance of two metres. Use UPPER and lower case for general content as the use of all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using a mixture of type/font styles. *Simplicity* is the key. Keep to the point, and donât try to cover too many things. Present only enough data to support your conclusions. On the other hand, make sure that you present sufficient data to support your conclusions. Presenting authors *should print their physical poster* based on the requirements listed in the sections above. FOSS4G Asia 2018 Conference does not print posters on behalf of presenters.

QR Codes (optional). FOSS4G Asia 2018 is promoting the idea of QR Codes for authors to incorporate into their posters. This would allow you to add a barcode readable by smartphones. The barcode can be designed to link the person viewing your poster to a related video, your website, or your contact information. Computers without audio may be used to run demonstrations and display additional information or illustrations. No electrical outlets will be provided @ poster session area. Please come with *your computer charged*!, if you want to use in the poster session *Poster Setup Information* 1.
