Its so exciting to be holding our first such meeting on the African continent and we hope you will all join us there. If you havent already booked the dates in your diary, here are the key dates:
> The Developer Meeting will take place at SUZA [1] (the State University of Zanzibar) before the main FOSS4G2018 conference:
> • arrive Wednesday 22. August

> Note that there are additional code sprints for other OSGEO projects after the FOSS4G2018 main conference (1-2 September), but the QGIS developer meeting is before the main conference.
