## Program
TBD
We do not have a formal programme for the developer meeting. See the 'streams' below for dates and times of specific discussions. Other than those discussions the meeting will be an ad hoc collaboration. Use the time to meet with your co-collaborators to plan and do your work in QGIS.
The user conference component of the meeting will be co-located as a track within the main [FOSS4G2018 user conference](http://2018.foss4g.org) to be held in Dar es Salaam from 27 August - 31 August 2018. Note that there are additional code sprints **after** the FOSS4G2018 main conference (1-2 September), but the QGIS developer meeting is **before** the main conference.
