Lunch, coffee break e Sunday dinner

Thursday 18 -- Officially on Thursday, University is open only for equipping classrooms.

However, we asked that for Qgis the events start from Thursday 18. This involves a particular management of the day, without catering service that cannot be carried out within the university.

For lunch we organized the delivery of pizza by the meter for all tastes, for coffee breaks we ask you to use the vending machines.

Friday 19 to Monday 22 -- The buffet catering service will be active inside the University, carried out on the ground floor. We will deliver vouchers that will allow access to the catering area for morning coffee break, lunch, afternoon coffee break

Sunday 21 -- Social dinner to restaurant Il Vecciolino.

What is a contributors meeting?

A QGIS Contributors Meeting is a volunteer-driven event where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space - usually a university campus. The event is normally three days in duration and we hold two such events each year. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event. As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning. We do this to allow attendees the freedom to meet dynamically with those they encounter at the event. Those sessions that are planned are advertised on the event web page and we try to enable remote participation through video conferencing software. Although our hosts are not funded and donate the working space to us, we show our appreciation by making one of our software release’s splash screens in honour of that host, which is a great way to gain exposure of your institution and country to the hundreds of thousands of users that make use of QGIS.

Code of conduct

When attending our meetings we ask you to please abide by the QGIS diversity statement and Code of Conduct. We also ask attendees to respect local laws, customs and culture and be good ambassadors for the QGIS project.
