Ignite Spatial 3 Taking Place During FOSS4G
Ever been to an Ignite event? Well, the Aussies got it right because down there they’ve taken Ignite to a whole new level – enter Ignite Spatial 3. This latest installment of Ignite Spatial is being conveniently held to coincide with FOSS4G so I’m guessing it should be a good one. Recall Ignite is a fun, laid back event where presenters (usually about 12 of them) each get 5 minutes on stage to make their pitch as slides automatically advance every 15 seconds (that’s a total of 20 slides) – it typically results in either death by PowerPoint to the presenter or a whole bunch of fun, either way if FOSS4G is in your plans then you have to make it to Ignite Spatial 3 on Oct 21.
