OTB User Days 2021

Dear All,

We are planning the OTB User Days 2021 by the end of this year, and we need you! This meeting will be held in Toulouse and it will be a great opportunity to discuss around OTB, its new functionalities and upcoming features.

Let us know the dates you prefer by completing the poll below. This event is open to everyone, regardless if you’re a long time developer or a newbie :wink: We’ll choose the best slot according to your votes!

Of course, this event depends on the evolution of the sanitary conditions and we’ll probably have to make some adjustments to make it happen. We are also planning to broadcast the presentations online.

Thank you a lot for your answers!

I heard the Opensource Experience Meeting will be held on week 45 in Paris. We may want to avoid organizing our User Days during this meeting.

Some colleagues that can’t be there, have asked me if presentations will be recorded?
I think that it could be great.

We are planning on recording the presentations. But we probably won’t stream the brainstorming/discussions…
