Hi everyone, sharing an update on the location search for GOSH 2022 from the Gathering Working Group meeting last week.
Where we are at with potential hosts
- Nat is in touch with Greg about Michigan, venues quite inexpensive. The only downside with the US is visa difficulties.
- Andy found a key contact person from City of Knowledge in Panama who is able to help with logistics. City of Knowledge has housing at the campus and could provide us with some more funding if needed.
- Bri reported on GOSHers in India who have a venue (in Goa!) but the main issues are visa difficulties (specific conference visa may be needed) and getting transportation for people in India
- Cameroon, Bangalore and Nepal also options
Short list of remaining venues created
- Took a vote and decided our current standings for places are 1- Panama 2- Nepal 3- India with 2 spots in the USA as backup
That’s all for now, look forward to what comes next!
