<div>Thanks Paul for relaying that important decision.<br>
<br>
And Congrats to the UK local chapter !<br>
<br>
By the way, would that mean that FOSS4G 2013 would replace OSGIS 2013 ?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your lights<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Hi, I would like to reiterate Paul's sentiments and congratulate both teams on excellent bids, it was a tough decision for the committee to make. With the Denver bid we weren't selected first time round either, but we made it at the second attempt, so I do
encourage the Finnish team to bid again in future. And congratulations to the UK team, I look forward to a FOSS4G in my home country :).

<div>Cheers,</div>

Folks,<br>
<br>
Well, it has been looooong morning here in Helsinki ;-)<br>
<br>
Thanks for everybody! Just now it's difficult to be good looser. Maybe<br>
someday I will learn to be.<br>

ps. Can't wait cheaper beers in Nottingham: in Finland Open Source events<br>
have free beers...<br>

<br>
Conference Committee, Bidders,<br>
<br>
Good morning (PDT). The results have been tabulated, and every member of the<br>
committee has voted (yay).<br>
<br>
Many thanks to both teams for bidding. Many of the members commented on the<br>
difficulty in selecting a bid, given the quality and attention to detail in<br>
both bids.<br>
<br>
The voting results are<br>
<br>
Nottingham 8<br>
Helsinki 2<br>
<br>
So, FOSS4G 2013 will be in Nottingham, UK.<br>
<br>
To the Nottingham team:<br>
<br>
- The sooner you can carve your dates into stone, the better for promotion<br>
and planning<br>
- Remember that you will have to submit a budget to the Board for approval,<br>
and the "Official, Really for Reals Acceptance" of your bid is contingent on<br>
the Board formally accepting your budget and bid.<br>
Let's move that process forward briskly.<br>
<br>
To the Helsinki team:<br>
<br>
- You had a great bid and a wonderful venue and plan, I hope you'll consider<br>
bringing your preparations and research to hosting an EU Regional event for<br>
2014.<br>
<br>
Thanks again to everyone,<br>
<br>
Paul,<br>
your 2013 RFP bid guy<br>
